Doesn't surprise me, Nikki in 2016 is more widely admired on forums than supposed 'internet darlings' like Paige and AJ who seemed to jump the shark at some point in the eyes of many. And this is the section of the fanbase that supposedly hates the Bellas, that's before we get into their popularity with the casual audience from Total Divas. She'll never be Sasha/Bayley/Becky beloved but she's hardly the smark punching bag people make her out to be, Bella fans on forums are not a tiny, derided minority by any stretch of the imagination. Mention Nikki in a thread and then mention Paige or AJ and see who gets more hate, the roles are almost the reverse of what some people claim.

I... I just don't get it. When you don't have smark IWC internet geeks pre-spoil a return it actually shocks the live crowd (especially a smark crowd like Brooklyn). And yes I realize the dramatic irony here! People weren't expecting her to return, and it was a decent 'gottem' moment that the crowd enjoyed. Simple. Edit: "Total Hellas" is one, pardon me, hell of a pun even if it was a typo!

For the most part, I think AJ is in the "nostalgia phase", where people wouldn't mind her making a comeback and returning. Paige on the otherhand with how she's just going through the motions and how screwed up her life is(all those love tweets and photos and whatnot on twitter and Instagram) has had a huge "fall from grace".
