Nikki Bella probably has one of the better storylines out of all of the modern WWE Divas. Her previous relationship with one of WWE's biggest stars in John Cena propelled her to the forefront of main event cards in the organization. It also doesn't hurt that she's insanely strong for someone her size. Weighing only 125lbs, Nikki Bella, born Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace Nikki knows how to put on a show. She lifts her opponents with ease and executes thunderous Alabama Slams on the usual, she puts her body on the line constantly with her patented Bella Spear, and her Rack Attack displays her true strength as she lifts her opponents on her shoulders and hurls them towards the canvas.
In 2007, she and her twin sister, Brie Bella signed developmental contracts with the WWE, the following her Nikki made her debut on Smackdown. In her eleven-year reign in the WWE Nikki Bella was a 2x WWE Divas Champion and currently holds the record for the longest reign with the title. Unfortunately, in 2019, Nikki discovered a cyst on her brain which has ended her in-ring career as a professional wrestler.
