Bella returned to WWE as part of the Women's Royal Rumble Match earlier this year. Since then, she has made several appearances on the red brand. The star had a high-profile feud with Becky Lynch for the Women's Intercontinental Championship. However, with her return, some fans have been critical of her moveset and poked fun at some botches in the ring.

During a recent episode of Kliq This, Kevin Nash mentioned that most of Nikki's work looked great in the ring. He felt she had a unique style, and her moveset looked incredible on TV.

"I thought Nikki looked good. She does a lot of things, she does that, it's kind of a sweeping sidekick she does. I think that's just, I don't know, it's like a pitching motion to me. I never was a big fan of the person that did the dropkick and landed on their back."

Nash added that a lot of the botches in the current product happened because the wrestlers were not getting enough reps in the ring. He felt back in the day, two stars worked several matches on the house show circuit before locking in on live TV. This helped them set the rhythm in the ring.

"To me, I say kudos to 99% of the work that happens out there because I know those people are not getting the reps that we used to. If I was wrestling Nikki, we would have had f*cking 35 matches before we were on RAW. And that was the beauty of that whole situation."

Nikki Bella will be at Survivor Series: WarGames

Nikki Bella and Stephanie Vaquer started off as friends with great mutual respect for one another. They helped each other in several brawls and skirmishes against The Judgment Day.

In fact, they even teamed up to face Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez on several occasions. However, Nikki soon lost her patience and turned on Stephanie. This has led to a deeply personal rivalry between the two stars. Nikki Bella will now challenge Stephanie Vicker for the Women's World Championship at Survivor Series on Saturday.

It will be interesting to see if the Hall of Famer has another title run left in her.
