Nikki Bella "Sorry And Embarrassed" For Mocking Chyna
Nikki apologises after shocking video resurfaces over the weekend.
Nikki Bella has today taken to Twitter to apologise after an old video surfaced over the weekend where her and her sister Brie were shown mocking Chyna.
This video dates back to 2013 when the Bella Twins appeared on an episode of Fashion Police alongside Joan Rivers. There, Nikki shows a picture of Chyna and questions whether the Ninth Wonder of the World was a man or a woman, before the two WWE Hall of Fame Bellas then laugh at Rivers joking about Chyna’s vagina having a penis.
All classless, all crude, all in the poorest of tastes, and all utterly disrespectful to a genuine trailblazer of the pro wrestling business.
In a since-deleted tweet, the official Twitter account for the late Joanie ‘Chyna’ Laurer commented how hurt the former Intercontinental Champion would have been from seeing such footage.
Nikki has now taken to Twitter to apologise for how her 29-year-old self acted eight years ago, while then proclaiming Chyna as an icon and a pioneer.

Joanie Laurer tragically passed away in 2016 at the age of just 46. During her time in the then-WWF, Chyna was the first woman to compete in the King of the Ring tournament, to compete in the men's Royal Rumble match, and to win the Intercontinental Championship - in addition to being a one-time Women's Champion.
Since her passing, Laurer was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019 as part of D-Generation X.
