So Close: Nikki Bella Almost Had A Huge TV Role

What could have been. While some fans might not be thrilled with them, there is no denying that the Bella Twins have turned their wrestling careers into one heck of a career outside of the ring. Their other business interests, including wine and a reality TV show among other ventures have turned them into celebrities who used to wrestle rather than wrestlers doing other things. It turns out that one of them was almost given an even bigger platform.

During a recent edition the Bellas Podcast, Nikki Bella revealed that she was hired to be the host of the MTV series Ex On The Beach. The job came after she had come close to hosting Love Island USA and then received another offer. However, someone associated with her reality show, who Nikki would not name, caused her to lose her hosting job. This could leave Nikki free to return to the ring, which she and Brie have discussed doing later in the year.

The Bellas are rather successful at the wrestling thing. Check out what might be coming back to WWE:

Opinion: I’m not sure who took Nikki off the show but it is kind of a shame that she could not get to do it. I know she might not be the most popular, but at the end of the day, this is a big loss to her career, as she would have likely fit in perfectly on a show like this. Maybe she can get something else going later on, and hopefully it won’t be interfered with this time around.
