Nikki Bella Reveals Real-Life Clash with Former Co-Star Eva Marie

Nikki Bella is certainly one of the most beloved female WWE Superstars in the history of the company. The WWE Hall of Famer decided to leave WWE and place her focus on her family. Nikki Bella recently recalled how she and Eva Marie had legitimate issues with each other while filming Total Divas scenes.

In 2013, the first season of the E! reality show premiered. Among the original cast members were Brie Bella, Cameron, Eva Marie, JoJo Offerman, Naomi, Natalya, and Nikki Bella. Nikki discussed a real-life argument she once had with Marie on The Bellas Podcast.

I had like a Queen Elizabeth [hairstyle] from like late 1800s bun on my head, which looked so bad with my highlights, and then I confronted Eva. And I’m in workout clothes with that bun on my head. I’m like, I don’t know what I should cry more about: the argument or that bun! It was so bad. I can’t even believe she could keep a straight face arguing with me.

The WWE Hall of Famer confirmed the feud was real. She also brought up another disagreement Marie had with Paige and her sister Brie Bella.

We hit heads big time legitimately. Actually, nothing like what happened at the Staples Arena [between Brie, Eva, and Paige].

Brie chastised Marie for not taking the wrestling business seriously at the time. Paige also accused the former Total Diva of being “lazy” for beginning her wrestling training in Los Angeles rather than the Performance Center in Florida.

Marie returned to WWE in May 2021 after a nearly four-year absence. However, due to budget cuts, she was released from her contract in November 2021. Keep an eye on Thirsty for more stories like this.
