"Your mother is already ashamed of you, and imagine what your mother will think when a Diva beats you for that title".

Do we have room for an old-school 'your mother' line too? Why yes, yes we do. There'd be no sense leaving out Nikki Bella's talk of Ronda Rousey's parent anyway, 'cause it was rather merciless and ripped on Ronda's decision to trade MMA for WWE.

During the contract signing for Nikki and Ronda's match at the first ever all-female Evolution pay-per-view on the 22 October Raw, Bella declared that Rousey's mother was ashamed of her for failing to win Olympic Gold like she had in the 80s, and for promising she'd retire from UFC undefeated. When neither of those happened, Nikki said, mommy dearest was embarrassed to have given birth.

Such parental disappointment wasn't true, obviously, but it tapped into Rousey's real-life fragility from a few years ago, referenced that UFC 207 loss to Amanda Nunes and casually mentioned Nikki's pride at being called a Diva in one insult.
