  • Nikki Bella Knows What It’s Like To Be A WWE Champ

    There’s a new champ in town.

    Nikki Bella defeated three-time WWE Divas Champ AJ Lee at Survivor Series on Sunday. Lee still holds the record for longest reign at 295 days, but it looks like Bella is ready to challenge that mark.

    The 31-year-old wrestler sat down for a revealing interview with E! Online after her surprising victory. “It felt different waking up today. It honestly feels amazing. I hate to compare this but I’m going to—you know when you have Olympic athletes who fight for something for years, and they finally get that goal—get that medal, it’s just such an amazing feeling.”

    It wasn’t an easy road for Bella, but it was all worth it in the end. The 2013 Diva of the Year had to make sacrifices in order to achieve her goals, “You kind of get in this weird emotion but it feels so good and it makes all the hard work and the traveling and missing all the family events and weddings and friends’ pregnancies, worth it.”

    And what was the secret to defeating the former reigning champ? “You watch someone and you see how they are and sometimes you can use that against them,” she said. “She did that kiss of death to Brie’s husband Bryan at Wrestlemania and she made history; we made new history last night—we did it even quicker. You know when someone thinks they’re good at something, you can use it against them and that’s what we did. We did the kiss of death.”

    What comes next for Bella? The Diva also discussed her future goals, “I definitely want to accomplish so much more. This Divas Championship I hold so close to my heart and I love the Divas division and WWE, and we’ve seen what the power of Total Divas does for our Divas, I want to make this title so much, I want to make every Diva mean something, I want to have a long title run; I know AJ had an insanely long title run and i want to beat it.”

  • Michelle Beadle Reveals Feud With CM Punk And AJ Lee

    ESPN news anchor Michelle Beadle gave away some of the details of her friendships when she appeared on The Ross Report yesterday. It seems like Beadle has some tempestuous relationships with those associated with the WWE.

    Take, for instance, her relationship with CM Punk. Their friendship ended abruptly over a misunderstanding. It also happened to involve a confrontation with AJ Lee, according to Beadle:

    I show up at Tribute to the Troops. I see him [CM Punk] in the hallway, I say ‘what up, f–kface’, which is my very loving way of referring to my friends. I don’t call my friends… I just… I’m an idiot. I call them all kinds of names, that’s how you know I like you. He was alone in a hallway, he didn’t really say anything. I was with P.R. from WWE and my assistant and we walked by. The next thing I know, she’s [AJ Lee] in my face yelling at me and I honestly, I swear to you, thought it was a joke.

    Phil [CM Punk] and I stopped being friends that day and I wish him the best of luck and that’s it.

    Listen to the rest of the podcast here:

    If Beadle looses any more friends over this, she’s well on her way to making some new ones. Just a few weeks ago, the ESPN anchor was laughing it up with actor John Hamm in their interview regarding his movie Million Dollar Arm:

    Do Hamm and Beadle now have crass nicknames for each other? Or are they not close enough for that yet?

    Let’s hope she kept the language clean when she took paralyzed high school student Jack “Jabs” Jablonski to prom last month. She almost wasn’t allowed to go due to age restrictions, but the school made an exception due to her celebrity status. “I’m happy that the school actually allowed me because I know they’re very, they’ve got some really good rules here,” She said. “And, so it’ll be fun. I get to go on a school bus. Hello, it’s going to make me young again.”
