Paige Takes Shot At Nikki Bella’s Past With John Cena On WWE Smackdown

Paige dropped a shot at Nikki Bella in their feud on WWE Smackdown by referencing her past relationship with John Cena. Friday night’s show saw Paige interrupt Bella during a backstage interview with Cathy Kelley.

Bella said that she was wrong for trusting Paige as much as she did and that Paige “failed the Bella brand and was nothing but a D-list skank.” She blamed Paige for Brie Bella’s injury and vowed to ruin her before she walked into frame.

“Cathy, stay here,” Paige began. “I’m not gonna touch you baby girl, don’t worry. But I love how uneasy I make you feel.”

She continued, “Do you know what I realized, Nikki? You haven’t liked me since day one. Not just ‘Mania [42], back in the day. You have never ever liked me. And do you know why? Because I built my career on hustle, loyalty, and respect. And you? You just slept with it.”

Paige finished by saying, “And in Mexico City next week baby girl, you better bring it. Because if not, I’m gonna end your career quicker than your last relationship.” She then walked off, leaving an incensed Bella.
