WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella is once again making headlines as she returns to television. A top star just pulled her pants up on the SmackDown taping. The clip from the segment has already been circulating on social media.
Spoiler alert: this week’s SmackDown was pre-taped following last night’s Monday Night RAW in Ottawa, Canada. Fans in the live crowd had spoiled important parts of the show, including a surprise return.
Thanks for the submission!
On SmackDown, Paige faced Jacy Jayne for the WWE Women’s United States Championship. After the match, Nikki Bella made her return, and she attacked The Anti-Diva, putting her away with the Rack Attack.
However, what caught fans’ attention was that while Paige was trying to recover and get up, holding Nikki’s leg, the Anti-Dia pulled Nikki Bella’s pants down, revealing her undergarments. The Fearless One dealt with the situation like a true pro and pulled her pants up promptly while staying in character.
While many may consider it an accident, some have suggested it may be a smart marketing tactic to promote Nikki Bella’s new custom boy shorts, which were also newly listed on the WWE shop.
That said, it can’t be confirmed whether the moment was scripted or an accident before the parties involved break their silence. Until then, take the comment sections to provide your verdict on the incident
Nikki Bella takes a shot at WWE cutting a segment
The Fearless One is currently at odds with Paige. Following SummerSlam, on an edition of SmackDown, WWE cut the Anti-Diva’s promo from television and released it on social media instead.
Speaking on an episode of Nikki and Brie Show, The Fearless One claimed that if WWE keeps cutting their segment, she would take her rivalry with Paige on social media.
“It would almost be great to keep getting cut and making this an online thing with Paige because we do have so much equity and star power. But then, I started thinking that we come from the reality era, too. We’ve done so much that goes beyond the ring. I have a lot of ideas, and I’m prepared for whatever happens and to really just ruffle feathers,” she said.
It will be interesting to see what plans Triple H and the creative team have in store for Nikki now that she has turned heel again.
