• Nikki Bella Says Her Fans Are A Lot Like Taylor Swift’s Fans
American pop star Taylor Swift has built one of the most passionate and loyal fanbases in the world, with her Swifties known for their unwavering support and dedication.
During a recent interview with Sherri on Sherri Shepherd’s, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella compared her own fans to Swift’s fanbase, highlighting the close-knit and protective nature of her followers.
“With the Bella Army, they’ve become such a family. We’re a lot like the Swifties, but we have more edge. What I love about the Bella Army and my fandom is that it all came so naturally. We all started pre-social media. Then, social media came about and people were getting bullied. This army just started to naturally protect each other and it became worldwide.
Now they come to events and meet & greets. Some will show up by themselves, knowing there will be other Bella Army members. We’ve become this huge family. They are the ones that made me Fearless Nikki.”
Nikki Bella will face Stephanie Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship at Survivor Series: WarGames in San Diego in a week from Saturday.
• “That is bullsh*t” – AEW Star On Ex-WWE Star Saying Logan Paul Is Better Than Everyone In AEW
Former WWF Hardcore Champion Stevie Richards recently made the bold claim that Logan Paul is better than every member of the AEW roster.
While speaking on his YouTube channel, Richards said:
“Logan Paul is better than everybody in AEW. [Jon Moxley?] Yes. [Darby Allin?] Yes. [Will Ospreay?] Yes. [Swerve Strickland?] Yes. [Kenny Omega?] Yes. [Young Bucks?] Yes. Because, he’s a character. I get that I can hate or love Logan Paul, and he’s every bit as athletic as all of them. He’s proven it.”
AEW TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher addressed the comments during an appearance on TMZ’s Inside The Ring podcast. He said that he disagrees with Richards and thinks that the former WWE wrestler made the claim to generate some buzz for himself.
“I think I said the same thing with his comments on me. I think a lot of these things are done with the thought process, ‘Oh, this will get a reaction. Oh, this will get clicks.’ I don’t know if he believes that wholeheartedly. If he does, like I said, everyone’s entitled to their opinion. I think that opinion is bullsh*t, personally.
I think the roster that we have at AEW, the matches that you see on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly basis, I am astounded. Like, I can’t even keep up. I watch one match that I go, ‘That’s the best match I’ve seen this year.’ And then the next week, I’ll see another match that I think is the best match this year. It’s an absolutely absurd claim to make.
No hate on Logan Paul, doing great stuff. Good for you. He’s been in the business 5 years. So the level that he’s performing at is insane. Do I think he’s better than Kenny Omega, Will Ospreay? Not a f**king chance.”
Kyle Fletcher will defend his TNT Championship against Mark Briscoe at Full Gear this Saturday.
• Another New Champion Was Crowned On Monday Night
On Monday night’s episode of Wrestling Open, Laynie Luck captured the WWE ID Women’s Championship. The show opened with a One Fall Six-Way Match featuring Angelica Risk, Jordan Blade, Kaitlyn Marie, Niki XS, Lili Ruiz and Laynie Luck.
Luck won that match to secure a spot in the Six-Way Elimination Title Match in the main event, where she defeated Arica Demia, Brittnie Brooks, Notorious Mimi, Shannon LeVangie and Tiara James.
Laynie Luck, who also earned an ID contract with the win, is now the second wrestler ever to hold the WWE ID Women’s Title. The belt was vacated in September after Kylie Rae announced her pregnancy.
Another WWE-related title change that took place on Monday night was Maxxine Dupri defeating Becky Lynch to win the Women’s Intercontinental Championship on RAW at Madison Square Garden.
