Professional wrestling is a difficult art form to master and sometimes mistakes happen. Nikki Bella knows that all too well as she’s been performing in the squared circle for almost two decades now.
While talking about the criticism that WWE stars deal with on an episode of the Nikki & Brie Show, WWE broadcaster Cathy Kelley admitted that she feels the word “botch” is cringey.
“People are so critical of, like, the tiniest little misstep. I’m like, when someone says ‘botch,’ it’s such a cringey word. People don’t realize how hard, like, even running the ropes is. And giving people the credit for all of that stuff. But commentary too, if you say the slightest wrong thing, that’s what people are tweeting. We know every single person’s move set, and, like, people don’t misstep in everyday conversation all the time?”
Nikki also shared the same sentiment as she explained why the word bothers her when she added, “I mean, but you walk down the street and you can trip and fall, you know? Yeah, it’s like life. We’re not perfect. So whether we’re in a sport, we’re talking, this is all normal things. And so when I see people write the botch things, it bothers me so bad.”
With Brie Bella sidelined due to injury, Nikki has been focused on singles competition over the last few months. She’s been chasing the title and recently challenged Chelsea Green for the WWE Women’s Championship on the 10/30 episode of SmackDown. Unfortunately for Nikki she was defeated by Chelsea Green, and now Tiffany Stratton is the new WWE Women’s Champion, so it will be interesting to see if Nikki can work her way back into the title picture.
