Nikki Bella breaks AJ Lee’s record
This monday’s Raw saw Charlotte defeat Nikki Bella for the Divas Championship but it was reversed by Stephanie McMahon as Bella Twins had pulled “twin magic” and Charlotte had actually pinned Nikki’s sister Brie.
Nikki Bella is now set to pass the record set by AJ Lee as the longest reigning Divas Champion on Tuesday morning. Charlotte, however, will get her rematch at Night of Champions where Nikki would lose her title if she gets counted out or disqualified.
Nikki Bella posted the following on her Instagram account after the victory:
“I made history! Your Longest Reigning Divas Champion in WWE History! Words can’t even describe how I feel right now! I am so beyond blessed and honored! Tonight goes out to my Pop Pop. He taught me so much. He taught me to always be a hard worker, be respectable and kind to others, put God first and family second, and always stay humble. He always told me he was proud of me, I’ll never forget that. He lead by example. I wish I could call him right now and tell him about this moment but instead I’ll look above me and pray and know he was watching and is listening. Never give up on your dreams because if you have heart and passion they will come true! Pop Pop I can just imagine your smile right now and the big south Philly hug I would have gotten! Thank you for teaching me to be a strong, hard working, independent woman! I love you so much, always and forever! As well as my #BellaArmy I would be nothing without you all! You created Nikki Bella, Team Bella and the Divas Revolution! None of this wouldn’t exist without your voices! Thank you! And to my coaches from the beginning who taught me so much at FCW Steve Keirn, Dr Tom Prichard, and Billy Kidman! Thank you! And thank you to my Love @johncena for teaching me so much and my sister @thebriebella for always be being my side! Love you all! Omgoodness! Tears and chills! Trying to take all this in right now!”
