• Nikki Bella Explains Why She Posts Thirst Traps
WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella is embracing her single life after parting ways with dancer Artem Chigvintsev last year. The split came following the arrest of her ex-husband on domestic violence charges, leaving Nikki focused on her personal life.
Speaking on The Nikki & Brie Show, Nikki candidly discussed her recent habit of posting “thirst traps” on social media. She explained that it’s less about vanity and more about seeking attention in a world where her personal interactions are limited.
“I’m all about thirst traps lately. I love thirst traps now because I need attention at times, and that’s the only time I get attention since I don’t text with anyone or do any of that stuff, so that’s where it feeds me. So sometimes your girl needs to post a thirst trap to feel a little something. At least I can admit it!”
There are also times when the 41-year-old doesn’t have to post thirst traps to get attention. She recently appeared in a blue gear on RAW, which led to fans going crazy for her on social media.
Nikki Bella recently turned heel and will battle Stephanie Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship at Survivor Series: WarGames in San Diego on November 29.
Speaking of Nikki, the former Divas Champion snuck into her ex-boyfriend’s locker room at RAW this past Monday.
• Ticket Costs Skyrocket For WWE Elimination Chamber 2026
WWE’s Elimination Chamber 2026 presale has officially begun, and early ticket availability is already drawing attention for its extremely high pricing at the top levels. The event is set to take place on February 28, 2026, at the United Center in Chicago, and fans looking for premium seating are finding some staggering numbers attached to the front rows.
As part of the presale, off-center Row 1 seats are available for roughly $5,180 each, making them some of the most expensive non-package front-row seats WWE has ever offered for a U.S. premium live event. These seats place fans right at ringside but not directly in the center camera view.
The highest-priced options, however, come from WWE’s On Location hospitality packages. The Ringside Row 1 Center packages are listed at around $32,500 per seat, and availability is already extremely limited. These premium packages typically include perks such as priority entry, exclusive merchandise, meet-and-greets, and other VIP experiences, with the front-row center location being the main attraction.
While standard tickets for the event start much lower, the presale prices for the very best seats illustrate WWE’s current trend of marketing its major premium live events as luxury experiences. The company has increasingly leaned into VIP hospitality offerings at major shows, and Chicago’s Elimination Chamber premium live event appears to be no exception.
With presale now underway and general tickets expected to sell quickly, wrestling fans in Chicago are preparing for one of WWE’s most expensive premium live event seat selections to date.
