WWE Hall Of Famer Nikki Bella has officially declared herself "the most hated person online", at least in the pro wrestling industry and amongst wrestling fans.

Bella told listeners on her podcast that she's baffled by this. In fact, Nikki finds it "mind-blowing" that she receives so much hate, and called herself "one of the nicest" people in the biz; she then pointed out that hate comes her way regardless of whether she's sticking up for other women or talking about her own career.

On that, Bella added: "I’ve never claimed to be the best wrestler. For some reason, me wrestling and showing passion and love, they hate me for it. It’s like I’m not allowed to be passionate or have love for it!".

Nikki believes some of the backlash from fans may have something to do with her run as longest running WWE Divas Champion in history. She once held that belt for 301 days, but doesn't think that should be some stick to verbally beat her with.

"It’s not like we were in the Olympics and I got there and won it", she said.
