I like her. Her character is wildly inconsistent, but in addition to being a total stunner I LOVE wrestlers who trash talk during the match and she's really good at it. Plus that elbow is nasty.

The Bellas have been among the most over people on the roster for a long time, and it was a surprise-ish return from a career-threatening injury, so I wasn't remotely surprised the crowd popped huge for her.

They've been over on and off over the last year or two, having got that Kardashian-esque appeal from being the featured stars of an E! reality show. I'm surprised that they didn't have Nikki return as a babyface, although this could just simply be making up numbers for a heel team. Hopefully it isn't more of what plagued the twins over time, and that was their alignment seemingly changing from week to week.

I said it in the PPV thread, but waking up a crowd who you could practically see vultures circling around is talent. Please take the belt off little miss nepotism tonight.

The Bella's are tweeners whether they are booked as heels or faces. There is a subset of casual Total Divas fans and young girls who will always cheer for Nikki and B their is always smarks who boo her like the female Roman/Cena. Yes, and it's stupid that they get special treatment in terms of not actually having to stick to a character. They're either incapable of or unwilling to play heels, so why not just book them as the faces they obviously long to be? Right up there with Seth Rollins, AJ Styles and Kevin Owens then. I'd also argue that all three of those dudes, Rollins in particular, have issues with of presenting themselves like heels. Rollins pretty much wrestles like a face, Owens tries but is largely unsuccessful in getting heat, and AJ should've never turned.

I think she's going to win up babyface. With Eva Marie getting suspended this clearly wasn't the way she was originally suppose to return. It wouldn't surprise me if the original plan was for the heels to be beating down the faces after the match and Nikki making the save.

I just love the irony and timing of this because over in the Nikki Returning thread a few days ago people were legitimately trying to argue that because she never got "a large pop like Daniel Brian" that somehow validates why she shouldn't have a spot on the roster.

What rally Brothers me. ,os that even with a return pop , she never was as over as Becky when she faced Charlotte. And you know because of total Bellas, we will we her defeating Becky about 10 times in a month , at this point is tradition to beat Becky

Like Kelly Kelly before them, this forum historically underestimates how over the Bellas are, especially with women. People who don't watch wrestling love them. They're the WWE Kardashians. This. My sister never watched wrestling like I did, but she watches Total Divas and loves it. She knows who the Bellas are but probably couldn't identify 95% of the roster.

I only have one complaint. She wasn't wearing green. Well, we can't have her going full-Misawa yet. Otherwise she would've just squashed the face team solo. Anyway, with Total Bellas making her relationship with Cena more publicised, and the fact she can't use the Rack Attack any more, she should start using the AA IMO.

As much as I can't stand her.... Whether you like her or not, no denying that was quite a reaction. This got a "reaction" out of me. Heh.

The AA still puts some pressure on her spine, even if light, and she isn't super jacked as Cena to handle the weight having spine problems. She better use anything that does not involve putting weight on her shoulders

I think it was mostly the 'surprise return from injury' part. The last angle she was in before leaving was the Gang Wars mess where she flipped every week and a brief Charlotte feud. Like AJ Lee once she got saddled with bad booking in 2014, her popularity took a hit. If Nikki was booked well and given important presentation (like the NXT 4), she'd probably be getting pops no one can quibble with. And just let her be a face. It's what she clearly wants.

When I was at a house show last year I was pretty surprised at the number of Bella twins t-shirts on fans. Probably the #2 number of shirts behind Cena Move over, Lioness! There's a new hugger in town! Bayley!!(said in the most obnoxious voice ever) But seriously...Bayley would unseat Icky Bellugh.

Like it's up there with Y2Cheap and Friggin Ham Sandwich. Total Hellas was actually autocorrect since I'm typing from my.phone. I actually went "with is he going about, I never do that lame stuff". So please don't lump me or dismiss my post over a typo(actually it was autocorrect). If you knew my post history you would know I never do that. Also pretty sure nobody has ever said the Hellas

But anyone who comes up with these lame ass insults with no sense of irony can never criticize a bad Cena or Reigns insult.
