11. Nikki Bella Has Definitely Improved As A Performer
Nikki Bellas reign at the top of the Divas division has been mired in controversy. Allegations of politicking, terrible promos, subpar matches, the list goes on. However, at HIAC, Nikki proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she has actually improved as a performer. Throughout her match with new champion Charlotte, Nikki demonstrated some actual psychology and played the power game very well. She managed to execute a devastating Spinebuster and an even more painful-looking Alabama Slam onto the ring apron. That latter moment looked so impactful that it appeared as though Nikki might actually regain the championship from Charlotte. So while Nikki isnt expected to pull off the kind of ring excellence usually seen by Charlotte and the other Four Horsewomen, shes a much better athlete than she was only a few months ago. It looks like working with some truly skilled ring technicians is beginning to rub off on her. That said
