Who would have thought that Nikki Bella would be the “Shawn Michaels” of the Bella Twins? When it became apparant that WWE were splitting the Bellas up, most fans expected Brie to be the better Bella, perhaps unfairly due to both Bellas’ respective partners and those fans internalised opinions on those wrestlers. Here were are a few months later, and Nikki is absolutely dominating both in the ring and on the mic.

While Brie still looks a bit unconfident in the role she’s been given as a solo star, Nikki has grabbed the bull by the horns and is one of the most convincing characters on the roster. Even when she’s delivering weird “Brie was totally evil” promos, there’s a level of believability in them that is down to Nikki’s delivery of them.

Now that she’s knocked off her sister, it only makes sense for Stephanie McMahon and The Authority to reward Nikki with a shot at the WWE Divas Championship. If Nikki remains as dominant as she has been the past few months, we could see a brand new champion a lot sooner than later.
