10 Wrestlers And Their Biggest Fears
3. Nikki Bella And FOMO Et Al.
Longest reigning WWE Divas Champion and future Hall of Fame inductee Nikki Bella regularly sports apparel urging fans to "Stay Fearless", "Go Fearless", and, well, "Fear Less". You get the point. Based on appearances alone, one might picture Nikki as a stranger to fear, someone who bravely rushes into any situation, no matter how perilous.
But for a wrestler whose marketing lauds the benefits of a fear-free diet, Nikki sure has racked up a few of them herself. For starters, like her colleague Randy Orton, Nikki shares a loathing of spiders. She's also afflicted with coulrophobia, the persistent fear of clowns. What was that about being fearless, Nikki? I suppose we can't all practice what we preach.
Perhaps Nikki's oddest fear, however, is her intense experience of FOMO, or fear of missing out, which she describes as her "biggest phobia." According to Nikki, she's so intent on being at "every party, every event, hanging out with everyone" that she barely sleeps. Running herself ragged to ensure she doesn't miss any meaningful social interaction seems self-defeating for Nikki, especially when there's more important things to worry about like all those spiders and clowns on the loose. We can only hope Nikki's got her FOMO under control now that she's engaged and expecting her first child, otherwise that could spell disaster for her impending nuptials. Hey, there's always the baby shower.
