Total Bellas (2016–…): Season 5, Episode 5 - BellaVision - full transcript
‐ Artem Chigvintsev has been cut.
‐ The dancer will not be returning
for this upcoming season.
‐ It sucks being cut.
I can't really describe.
‐ I just told Dr. Uribe, "I
need an MRI on my neck."
And he goes, "We need to talk.
You have a cyst on your brain."
‐
‐ So with this injury Nikki has had,
our career as Bella twins
is coming to an end,
especially in the ring.
It's becoming more of reality.
I hate to say this, but
I've just realized,
like, I don't want another child.
‐ We started here as closer together,
and now we've been expanding
differently as far as
our viewpoints on life.
‐ I forgot to tell you. ‐ What?
‐ I got an audition with the show
Renee and Booker T are hosting.
‐ Did they ask about me?
‐ What would you like envision
in the next step of your life?
I'm a go‐getter, hustler, workhorse.
But being with Artem,
I have learned not
everyone is like that.
‐ You used to like pinch my
butt and do certain things.
You don't do that anymore.
‐ There's so much missing, I think,
in each of our emotional lives.
When are we supposed
to have time together?
When are we supposed to
have a normal relationship?
‐ Our relationship was never normal.
‐ Should I wear blue for SmackDown
or I have this purple I wore in Tokyo,
but I only wore it once.
What do you think? What should I wear?
‐ Oh, my gosh.
How did you fit into that?
‐ this thing?
‐ Oh, my gosh.
Whoo!
‐ Excuse me? You do not
do better than me.
‐ Yeah, I just did it, okay?
That's not a dance move.
‐ How? How? How? How?
You have to‐‐ you have to pick me up.
No!
‐ Brie and I have been asked
to attend the premiere
of WWE SmackDown in L. A.
‐ ‐ And I have to say,
I'm super excited just to
be a part of the show,
but damn, I would do
anything to be in a match.
‐ Please welcome, fearless Nikki Bella!
‐ You said it wrong. It's
okay, I forgive you.
‐ Ooh, ah, eeh, ooh.
‐ Poof.
Artem! ‐ I like it.
‐
‐ What kind of tequila did you do?
‐ Just whatever house tequila.
I'm not bougie as you are.
‐ Yeah, right.
Look at that view, Artem. ‐ Mm‐hmm?
‐ And Brie.
‐ And Brie, sorry.
I meant Brie too. ‐ No, you didn't.
‐ I think I said it to you first.
‐ You clearly meant him. ‐
Brie, look at downtown.
‐ And Artem.
‐ I'm texting, so if you
guys want to continue
to make out over there, it's fine.
‐ ‐ Gross.
‐ You act like you and Bryan
don't make out in public anymore.
‐ Bryan and I kiss. ‐ When?
‐ What do you mean when? Just
'cause we don't sit there
and make out in front of people.
‐ Oh, sorry, your sister is happy.
‐ I'm happy too. It's
just‐‐there's definitely
a reason why they call
it the honeymoon stage.
‐ Doesn't mean you don't have
a moment to have a big kiss in public.
‐ I guess‐‐ I mean, we have a kid.
It's funny because you always
are in the beginning stages
of a relationship saying, "I
will never be that couple
that doesn't give each other PDA."
And when I look at Artem
and Nicole, I'm like,
"Yeah, that used to be us.
But now that's not us."
Maybe stop kissing and
start communicating.
Communication is key. ‐ We know, hater,
who doesn't make out
with her man in public.
You better make out with
me till the day I die.
I mean, 90. If you wanna
be with this girl‐‐
‐ Vomit.
‐ I'm just a little nervous.
I've been avoiding this
doctor's appointment,
but like it's just on my mind
quite a bit too, you know?
But you need to know these
things to get ahead.
I'm headed to Dr. Uribe today
to get a checkup on my neck.
He had given me bad news recently,
and I'm coming to the understanding
that my in‐ring career is over.
I would just love to
participate in some way
and not just backstage,
but be ringside, which means
you're outside of the ring,
you're not participating in the match.
There's managers and ballets,
and you could be a part of stories.
‐ As far as I remember, I
make the matches around here.
‐ I just kind of wanted
to have that checkup
to know where I stand because I
just want to know my future.
Hi there.
I have an appointment with Dr. Uribe.
‐ There he is. ‐ Nikki.
‐ Stranger. ‐ How you doing?
See you for centuries. How you doing?
‐ I feel like it's been so long.
‐ I know. How you doing?
‐ This is Artem. ‐ That's good.
Nice to meet you. ‐
Pleasure to meet you too.
‐ Brought him in for moral support.
‐ That's awesome. ‐ Yeah.
‐ Yeah, so how's everything?
‐ Everything is good.
It's still busier than ever.
‐ You're in here for a reason.
I wanted to know what is
bringing you here today.
‐ Don't get me wrong.
Like, for me, overall health
is the most important.
And so I'd rather feel amazing
all the time than getting
back in the ring.
But what do you think about
ever being ringside?
‐ So this is the images
that we have, you know,
from the previous surgery.
Take a look. This is what I don't like.
You see that it's going
a little bit down?
‐ Yeah.
‐ And you see this is a little bit
what we call kyphosis, so
this level right here,
the wear and tear is becoming
faster than the normal
because we have a flexible part,
and it's already at a level
that is not that good.
‐ Sometimes we get these
opportunities to come back,
and it's like, "Oh, can
you manage this superstar
and be ringside?"
But there's activity going on the ring.
Like, you know, you're
standing right there.
‐ That's the problem with you, Nikki.
You always come around like,
"What about if I just put
my foot on the door?"
‐ Are there any chances
of being hurt? Yeah.
‐ So what are the chances
that someone comes
outside of the ring,
hits you and smashes you from the back,
and then‐‐'cause that's
part of the show.
We're talking about
big risks, you know?
I mean, easily, one bad
move is paralysis.
‐ Yeah.
‐ I mean, like you're
not able to walk again.
Your life would be over basically.
And I know it's hard
for you, Nikki, but...
‐ What is this?
‐ Making Artem a vision board.
Do you want to help me?
‐ Does he know you're doing this?
‐ No.
‐ I really don't know
anyone that's ever made
their boyfriend, "boyfriend"
a vision board.
‐ And I'm not everyone.
‐ The men we're with,
they don't like the chaos
that you and I put ourselves through.
I think what we need to ask
Artem and Nicole is, um‐‐
how do I say this, um,
how we can become a little
more PDA again in public?
‐ Is that what you want? ‐ Everything.
Well, I mean, it'd be
nice a little bit.
What do you think if you took
Birdie back home to Phoenix
and I stayed in L. A.
For the next few days to
get all my stuff done?
‐ How am I supposed to even show PDA
when we never even see each other?
We have enough, and at what point‐‐
‐ And at the time, I was
just starting to start‐‐
‐ At what point is it enough?
‐ Nattie, I'm so happy you
came to do this with me.
‐ I know. I love Artem's house.
‐ Isn't it cute? ‐ I mean,
I can tell he's got
such a nice sense of, like, taste.
‐ Yeah, you know he did
this whole kitchen,
like, on his own. ‐ It's
amazing, it's beautiful.
‐ Today, Nicole and I are gonna
be recording our podcast,
and we got to be really cool
to have Nattie as a guest.
‐ Have you ever met Artem? ‐ No.
‐ Oh, Nicole's with them right now.
I actually want to talk to you.
So Nicole is not gonna go to SmackDown.
‐ But you guys‐‐you're supposed
to walk the blue carpet.
‐ We're supposed to,
but she feels that if
she can't wrestle,
she doesn't want to just be backstage
'cause that's not what her
fans want to see her doing.
Ever since Nicole met with Dr. Uribe,
she kind of just feels
like her career is over,
and my sister knows she can
never go back in the ring.
And I know that's why she doesn't want
to go to SmackDown.
‐ For a long time, TJ didn't
want to be around wrestling
because it reminded him of
everything he couldn't do.
‐ TJ is Nattie's husband.
He used to wrestle for WWE,
but now he's a producer.
You know, Nattie went through
a lot with injuries, with TJ,
and I'm really happy
Nattie is here today
to just give her a little light
on what she can do in her career.
Natalya Neidhart is here.
‐ I really miss the
smell of you, Nattie.
‐ I know. ‐ Aww.
‐ Oh, my gosh. I miss
Nattie's smell every day.
‐ I'm doused in cream 'cause
I have so many issues.
I got punched in the
throat earlier this week.
‐ I can't even imagine‐‐ ‐
But are you doing okay?
‐ Yeah, I'm doing fine.
It's just‐‐you know, it
just kind of reminds you,
at any moment, things
can change like that.
I'm not 21. ‐ Yeah.
‐ When you're young, you
think you're invincible.
And for me, I'm 37.
‐ If wrestling was to
come to an end tomorrow,
like what is it like
you would want to do?
Is it just be retired
the rest of your life?
‐ Sometimes we get sad and think,
"When my career is done, like,
what else am I gonna do?"
And there's so many things I can do.
I would love to do some
behind the scenes stuff.
As much as I want to be Mae Young...
There's a time and a place
where we need to evolve
and grow as people.
‐ I agree. ‐ Stop and appreciate
who you are and what you
have to offer the world.
‐ I need to remind myself of that.
It is so amazing to see Nattie.
No matter how long it's
been since I've seen her,
she just brings a lot of comfort to me.
These were the words that
I needed for my soul.
This is like chicken soup
to my soul, as they say.
Hearing Nattie has made
me mentally feel like
I'm in the right place
to go to SmackDown.
Nattie's words are really,
really helping me.
‐ Even if it's just one thing special
that you can offer the world,
it's so important because all
of those little special things
add up to something big.
‐ Yeah. ‐ I have to admit,
I needed to hear that today. ‐ Yes.
‐ So thank you.
‐ So where are you taking me?
‐ You know, I already have
like three vision boards,
but I made a set like a new one.
And I think actually
you should have one.
I'm struggling with what I'm
going through with my neck.
It's hard to hear that you're
never allowed to something
again that you love,
but hearing Nattie talk,
that gave me hope of like,
"Yeah, I mean, fearless
Nikki doesn't have to just
"make an impact in the wrestling ring.
She can make an impact somewhere else."
I'm a go‐getter, a hustler, workhorse,
but being with Artem,
I have learned not
everyone's like that.
Pick out some magazines
so we could go home
and make some boards.
‐ And that's supposed to
help me to get, what?
‐ To envision what you want to do
in the next step of your
life, your next chapter.
‐ What would you, like, envision?
‐ I don't know.
‐ Artem hasn't been working
for a few months now.
What are your goals, Artem?
‐ First, find a job. ‐ You will.
You're gonna get something, I know you.
I'm the type of person, like
strike while the iron is hot.
Like, people want to know
what you're up to next,
and Artem waits for the right moment.
But go get the moment.
That's what I'm about.
You need something in the arts.
And‐‐oh, "House & Garden" for sure.
Ooh, I think you would kill
it in the fashion industry.
You could be a model.
You've got good genes. Your dad's hot.
‐ I don't know. ‐ He's like 65.
‐ Yeah, he's Russian.
We're preserved better
because we're in the cold
eight months of the year. ‐ Serious.
And then maybe‐‐Brad Pitt's
right there, look in "GQ."
Plus, I feel like you
kind of look like him.
‐ So now you want me to get tattoos,
look like Brad Pitt, become a model.
Who do you think I am? Wow.
‐ I don't know. I'm just
trying to help you find work.
‐ Why? Just because I don't
have a job right now,
you're trying to help me
find work by doing this?
Nicole does have a tendency
to kind of steer me
in a direction she wanted to steer,
and it comes from a very good place.
God, this was a great walk,
and then it turned into
like Artem has no goals, no
job, and everything about me.
Is that supposed to make me feel good
or is that supposed to make me feel?
‐ Oh, my gosh, Artem.
‐ I just want her to have a trust in me
that I'm not just sitting around
and not doing anything, you know,
because if she sees it as
that, it's kind of sad.
And I already invested in
the one job ten years,
and then look where it got, so...
‐ Hey, you've had an
incredible career, Mr. Artem.
Everything comes to an end.
I don't get to fight
in the ring anymore.
I think part of me, like,
pushing this vision board
so much is it's just I really want him
to find something that he had
with "Dancing with the Stars."
I want him to have that security,
and I just don't want him
to be jobless forever.
You're gonna thank me. ‐ We'll see.
‐ Here you go. Thank you so much.
‐ Thank you. ‐ Have a good day.
‐ All right, well, this
was a great experience.
Shall we go? ‐ Yeah. Aww.
‐ I really want to get out.
‐ So I think we're gonna
start with this look.
‐ And they're good with
everything barefooted?
‐ Yeah, perfect, yeah.
‐ Ooh, nice. Good.
‐ I was like I'd rather
you guys be barefoot
than wearing flat shoes.
God forbid. ‐ Yay!
‐ Nice. This is gorgeous, you guys.
Beautiful.
‐ ♪ Now give me that, give me that ♪
‐ Nice.
‐ SmackDown is in L. A. So
we're staying at a hotel.
‐ Brie, that's beautiful
what you're doing.
‐ So I am crazy busy this week.
The position I'm in now,
starting a new career,
you just can't stop and
take breaks and come back
thinking momentum will still be there.
The minute the momentum is happening,
you got to go with it, and sometimes
I have to make sacrifices and decisions
that might keep me away from
my family a couple days.
But right now is the time.
I just know, soon enough,
I will have a time where I
could kick back and relax,
but that time is not now.
‐ All right, here we go.
Soft, beautiful, gorgeous.
Eyes on me. Beautiful.
This is amazing!
‐ Hello! ‐ Hey.
‐ I come bearing food.
‐ Were you gonna knock? ‐
I don't have to knock.
It's your house.
‐ That's why I wish you
didn't have a key.
‐ What is this?
‐ Making Artem a vision board.
Do you want to help me?
‐ Does he know you're doing this?
‐ No.
But he'll know when he gets
home or when he goes to bed
and I put it in front of his sink.
‐ You might be a nightmare
of a girlfriend.
‐ Or the best bomb
girlfriend in the world.
‐ I really don't know
anyone that's ever made
their boyfriend, "boyfriend"
a vision board.
‐ And I'm not everyone.
‐ Poor Artem.
My sister is just gonna
control his whole life.
Her making this vision board,
I really don't think it's for Artem.
It's not who Artem is.
It's who Nicole wants Artem to be,
and those are two different things.
‐ Coffee. He wants to
own a coffee shop.
So if you find a really
cool coffee shop‐‐
‐ What?
So have him do a business
plan, not a vision board.
‐ Actually, tell me if you
find any good builder stuff
'cause I definitely feel
that's what he can do.
Should I put ballerina shoes?
Maybe he can book a ballet.
I have Brad Pitt because‐‐
‐ Because why?
‐ Artem kind of looks like Brad Pitt.
When he was‐‐ ‐ Aw, that's so cute.
‐ You're such a bitch. I
just need to find something
that's like wanting to
be a professional chef.
Oh, look it, he does love the piano.
‐ But that piano's on fire.
‐ Yeah, like a fire under his ass.
You know what I mean? I feel bad.
But I just feel like this will,
like, really help Artem.
‐ Yeah, but one thing you do
have to remember is people,
especially the men we are with,
they don't like the chaos
that you and I put ourselves through.
Like Bryan can't believe
how many things I juggle.
‐ I know, but I just know,
like, Artem can do so much.
‐ Yeah, I know, coffee
shop, choreography,
ballet, build a house,
and look like Brad Pitt, all in one.
‐ Yeah.
‐ Watching Nicole and
Artem makes me remember
how Bryan and I were in the beginning.
We were exactly that.
I was that girl too.
‐ Oh, Leo would be a good one.
Where did Leo‐‐
‐ That poor man.
There's other men's heads on
here and‐‐oh, David Beckham,
put David Beckham's head on.
‐ Oh, yeah. Perfect.
Artem and I, our personalities
are the exact opposite.
Like, he's an introvert.
I'm an outrovert.
Is that how you say it,
I think, an outrovert?
Extrovert.
Do I cut out the chick?
Oh, my God, it kind of does
look like Artem in the back,
the tattoos on the arm and
the beard and the hair.
‐ Yeah, but is he gonna visualize
making dinner with a blonde?
‐ Get me a brunette.
‐ You want Demi Moore's head?
‐ Yeah, give me Demi Moore's head.
Like I don't know what his dreams are.
I don't know anything he wants.
I've been working really hard
on a vision board for you.
‐ Oh. ‐ Come here.
‐ Is that your vision board,
you just like extended it?
‐ No, it's what I visualize for you
because I know you so well.
‐
‐ Oh, my God.
‐ I see your talents, and I feel like
the world hasn't remotely
seen what you can do.
I'm trying to light a
fire under your ass.
‐ I forgot to tell you. ‐ What?
‐ I got an audition for the show Renee
and Booker T are hosting.
‐ You didn't your own text? ‐ No!
‐ ‐ Whoa, like Bird‐Bird.
‐ It's nice we found
some parks here in L. A.
Whoa! Mr. Danielson.
Yeah, you know, Bird, this one
isn't gonna work out for Mama.
‐ That's not gonna work
out for Mama, sweet girl.
‐ Maybe Daddy wants to get
on this one with Mama.
‐ Okay. ‐ Oh, yeah.
‐ I'm not sure this is made for us.
I've never actually really
been behind you like this.
‐ We never rode a moped together?
‐ Did we not?
‐ Maybe I can let Artem‐‐
Or I can ask Artem
if I can ride his motorcycle
and you can hop on the back.
‐ I think what we need to
ask Artem and Nicole...
‐ Uh‐huh. ‐ Is how do we, uh‐‐
how do I say this?
How we can become a little
more PDA again in public
'cause all they do is kiss face
in front of everyone and everything‐‐
‐ Is that what you want?
Well, I mean, it'd be
nice a little bit.
‐ Well, you know, it's
interesting though
because it's like every
time I come home,
I kiss you a bunch.
But then every time I
do, it's almost like
you're looking at your
phone or doing business.
‐ Oh, my gosh, no. ‐ It's
so true, it's so true.
‐ Bryan, that is so in your head.
And sometimes I feel like
you always pick the times
when I'm like in the
middle of an email.
‐ That's not true. ‐ Yes, it is.
We don't have PDA anymore.
Like, we either joke
about it that like,
"Ha‐ha‐ha, it's not there
anymore, it's funny."
Or we just ignore it
because we're too tired.
We just still need to
understand how it is to be
a married couple, parents,
and just career people.
Like Bryan and I just haven't
been able to find all that yet.
You used to, like, pinch my
butt and do certain things.
You don't do that anymore.
‐ In public? ‐ Yeah.
‐ No. That's not my deal.
Does Artem pinch Nicole's butt?
I never see him do that.
‐ I was sitting on the couch
with him the other night,
and his hand was fully on
her boob in front of me,
which I would not like
it if you did that.
And I like made a comment, I was like,
"Yo, I'm right there."
‐ Maybe now is a good
time to start in front
of all these children.
Is that what you'd like?
‐ No. ‐ Hi, kids.
This is how you should
interact with other people.
‐
‐ Right after hearing Brie say
our family is not gonna be
as big as we had planned it to be,
I'm mildly annoyed by the
demand for more PDA.
When I come here, I'm all
about Brie and Birdie,
but Brie's got Birdie,
she's got Nicole,
she's got her businesses,
she's got all these other things.
And so it's easier for me to
fall kind of by the wayside,
and that's one of the
compromises that we've made,
and I think that's the issue.
We're both feeling this disconnection.
It just shows kind of where
we're at in our relationship.
‐ Bye‐bye.
‐ Bird‐Bird, do you want to dip?
‐ Let's do the dip first, ready?
‐ Dip.
‐ Whoa!
‐ Dip. Dip.
‐ Dip. ‐ Yay!
Dip, dip, dip.
‐ Aww. ‐ Okay.
‐ Whoa. ‐ Whoa.
‐ ‐ Yeah.
Yep, coming up.
‐ One, two, three! ‐ Whoa!
‐ No.
‐ Well, I have a presentation.
‐ Oh, gosh.
‐ So hear me out first
before I present this
'cause I've been working really hard.
‐ Oh. ‐ And I don't need
sound effects from the peanut gallery.
So I've been working really
hard on a vision board for you.
‐ Oh, my God, you just can't
let go of the vision board.
‐ No, I can't because I
know what it's done for me
and my career and my personal life.
Can I just go through it with you?
‐ Oh, my God. What is that?
‐ It's called hard work and love.
Come here.
‐ Is that your vision board,
you just like extended it?
‐ No, it's what I visualized for you
because I know you so well.
‐ But why is there like a whole
bunch of women everywhere?
Why would I want to visualize
a whole bunch of women?
‐ I have to see this. ‐ Oh, my God.
‐ A little embarrassed
for you, but it's okay.
‐ That's weird. That's so weird.
‐ I feel like I have to like
take care of him, like‐‐
‐ That's so weird.
Nicole made a vision board for Artem?
That doesn't seem like
something that you should do
for somebody else.
Like, here's what I want you
to envision for your future.
‐ What is this section?
‐ Paris fashion, because
you and I always want
to do stuff in Paris. That's dancing.
Since you got cut from
"Dancing with the Stars‐‐"
I mean, time is money, Artem.
You know what I mean?
‐ I know.
‐ And like, you know entertainment.
We all can be done in 15 minutes.
I see your talents and
I feel like the world
hasn't like remotely
seen what you can do.
Over here, I have construction,
and I have like home stuff
because you're so incredible at it,
and I honestly think that we
could capitalize on that.
‐ Can I just ask you a question?
‐ I wasn't done.
‐ So this is our vision board
or it's my vision board?
‐ It's your vision board,
but I'm in your life.
I'm trying to light a
fire under your ass.
‐ That vision board, I
can't even pronounce right
because it's terrible.
What makes you think
that I don't hustle?
I exist and live how I did
for many, many years,
over‐‐over 30.
Let's just‐‐let's just
leave it at that.
I did survive on my own before,
so I kind of know what I'm doing.
I just want to be myself.
Just because I don't run,
storm out of this door saying like,
"Hey, I'm gonna go do this right now,"
it doesn't mean I'm
just sitting on my ass
doing nothing.
I just do it differently than
putting it on a vision board.
‐ I'm on Artem's side, Nicole.
I think Artem needs to do his
own vision the way he does it.
Back off.
‐ The thought is good.
Maybe the presentation,
"These should be your
dreams," maybe not as good.
‐ So I was here when Nicole
put this picture on,
and she was hoping that Artem
would age like Brad Pitt.
‐ No, I said he is going
to age like Brad Pitt.
‐ She wants‐‐ ‐ That's
your vision of him.
‐ Well, Artem looks like Brad Pitt.
‐ Oh, wow.
‐ Why don't you have Bryan just
take Birdie home and you stay?
‐ Him being here is a way
for us to see each other.
‐ That's sucks.
How has it not made your
marriage suffer at all?
‐ It's really stressful.
‐ Welcome to the premiere of
"Friday Night SmackDown."
Classic Charlotte, as
she takes down Sasha.
‐ Being in the environment,
you feel the energy,
you hear the live crowd.
I'm so happy that I came.
‐ The most electrifying move
in all of entertainment!
‐ It's clothes that fit for Bird.
Honestly, one of these
would be nice in my place.
And your legs pop out.
These should not just be for moms.
‐ They're not. ‐ Oh, my gosh.
‐ You know, that's actually
cool that it has a remote.
‐ I know. I need this for my workspace.
‐ You have zero space in your office.
‐ Look it, when Artem's talking
to me, I'm like, "What?"
That always happens.
‐ I need that when Bryan talks to me.
‐ Oh, my gosh.
That chair is amazing.
‐ Oh, my gosh. Nicole,
look a little Frenchie.
‐ Aw. Okay, what do
we need to get Bird?
‐ None of her PJs are
fitting, of course.
It's like she had a big
grow spurt yesterday.
‐ "Suddenly, you are my everything."
I feel like I should get
Artem that blanket.
‐ Okay, this isn't for Artem.
We're here for Bird. ‐ Aww.
‐ 'Cause my poor daughter,
we're out of town,
and I can't‐‐all of her
clothes aren't fitting.
I can't believe it. Oh, Nicole.
‐ Yeah. What's going on?
‐ It's not been good at the hotel.
‐ Really? But you guys
got a two‐bedroom suite.
‐ Doesn't matter. Birdie's
been sleeping so bad.
The beds are so uncomfortable.
It's just‐‐it's been a miserable stay,
part of us wants to go home early.
‐ Why don't you guys just
stay at Artem and I's house?
‐ Yeah. Well, is there enough room?
‐ We could always make the
office into Bird‐Bird room.
‐ In a perfect business world,
if I could have alone time
for the next two days,
I will get triple the stuff done.
I think like that, but then,
I do have Bryan and Birdie here.
So it automatically makes me be like,
"Uh, can I miss this business meeting?
Hopefully, they'll make
this one shorter."
It makes everything more difficult.
‐ What's up? Why are you so stressed?
‐ Look at my life. Yeah.
‐ Why don't you have Bryan just
take Birdie home and you stay?
Why, you think Bryan
will get upset if you
tell him to go home?
‐ Probably. ‐ Why?
‐ Why do you think? The
thing is we feel like him
being here is a way for
us to see each other.
‐ Damn, that sucks. I don't envy you.
How you always have to try and
figure out Birdie is nuts.
How has it not, like, made
your marriage suffer at all?
‐ I'm just shocked now to see
where Bryan and I are at.
I never in a million years
thought Bryan and I
would ever be disconnected
or be in that position
where we feel like
we're drifting away from
each other, but we are.
It's something we actually
have to take serious
if we want this marriage to work.
It's been really tough having
them here, how she's been,
I feel like she needs
me, but Bryan needs me.
It's really stressful.
‐ I swear, when I say you
are good birth control,
these are the moments.
‐ Whatever. ‐ It's true.
‐ Congratulations. ‐ Thank you.
‐ This is so exciting.
‐ So happy to have you guys here.
‐ I know, we're so happy to be here.
‐ Oh, my God, isn't it?
‐ Yeah, thank you. ‐ Brie,
did you want a drink?
‐ Brie and I have a super crazy week,
but our good friend Kristen
is having a store opening.
She's opening a new,
like, design store,
and she's the one that's
designing my house.
So we really want to go
there and represent,
plus, she's promoting
her wine, Belle Radici.
‐ I could, like, live in here.
‐ I'm obsessed with that.
‐ Hello! ‐ Hi.
‐ How cute is this?
How are you? ‐ I'm good, yeah.
‐ Hey, I forgot to tell you. ‐ What?
‐ I got an audition with the show
Renee and Booker T are hosting.
‐ Yeah, like the‐‐
‐ They're, like, auditioning co‐hosts.
So I got a call today to have
an audition for the show
"WWE Backstage" for a
new commentating spot.
Nattie was right.
Getting this audition,
it's definitely made me realize
that there's other things
I can do in the WWE besides wrestle,
that I could still be a part
of this amazing family,
still have an impact,
and it just makes me feel really good.
‐ Did they ask about me?
They didn't? ‐ You
didn't your own text?
‐ No! That's weird that they
wouldn't want the Bella Twins.
‐ Do you think maybe
because you say so often,
like, Birdie and‐‐
‐ I think so.
‐ I think they don't want
to put the stress on.
‐ I mean, okay, yeah,
it would stress me out,
but, like, it's nice to be
asked and for me to say no.
I mean, I am busy.
‐ I was shocked too. That's
why I thought, like, oh,
maybe 'cause I live in L. A.,
they were just wondering.
‐ Probably because of that.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm mistaken
but the Bella Twins,
we're the tag team.
‐ You say no to a lot of
things 'cause of Birdie,
which is amazing, so‐‐ ‐
But let me say no again.
I am a little jealous.
‐ Maybe they just think I'm hotter.
‐ Maybe‐‐well.
‐ Oh, wait. They don't
think I'm hotter.
They think I'm more
accomplished in the ring.
Okay, you guys get drinks.
You okay? Seriously?
‐ Yeah. ‐ I felt bad.
‐ I'm sure you do.
‐ When are we supposed
to have time together?
Do you expect for all of a
sudden you to be less busy?
‐ Yes. ‐ When?
‐ I'm hoping by the age of 40.
And then I hope we have
40 to 80 together.
‐ Because it will make
your life easier, yes,
Birdie and I will go home.
And then we won't see
each other for ten days.
That's what our
relationship is gonna be.
‐ Three, two‐‐
‐ She is the longest‐reigning
Divas Champion in history.
One of the stars of "Total Bellas."
We are joined now by Nikki Bella.
‐ That's right. What up, you guys?
I'm just kind of nervous
because this is something
I've never really done before.
‐ Nikki, what do you
think of this feud?
‐ Here we go, three‐‐
do the sound take.
‐ She is the longest reigning
Diva's Champion in history.
One of the stars of "Total
Bellas," Nikki Bella.
‐ I got a call for an audition
for the show "WWE Backstage."
I'm just kind of nervous
because this is something I've
never really done before.
‐ I mean, the Fiend scares me. ‐ Yeah.
‐ I want to see Seth somewhere else.
Like when Seth was such a
bad boy, he was so cool.
He just came out and he
dripped of coolness.
Now it's like...
‐ Okay. ‐ I'm saying it how it is.
This interview starts to make
me feel like going to SmackDown
is the right thing
because we are family.
WWE has been my life for so long,
and it's a part of me,
and yes, I will miss out
on the action in the ring.
But I have great friends there.
And I have family there.
And that's who I need
to go and support.
‐ Some of you jerks
have hid your keyboards
and taken shots at our panels.
Now it's time for them
to slap a little back.
Here we go. "Nikki Bella sucks.
"I would rather hear
Jillian Hall singing
than seeing Nikki wrestle." ‐ Wow.
‐ That actually is quite the burn.
‐ That's bad. ‐ Give it to him.
‐ Where's Nicholas.
First of all, Jillian
Hall made it iTunes.
What did you make it to?
So, Nicholas, probably
should be named Nikki.
Oh, but wait, Nikki could
probably beat your ass.
Next time when you want
to write something,
write @bellatwins and
say it to my Twitter.
B, boom.
‐ She got your ass. ‐ Ahh!
‐ What do you got there?
‐ Steak tartar. Think
they put onion in it.
‐ Did they really? No, that's mushroom.
‐ No, that's cucumber.
They don't have mushrooms
in steak tartar. Aw.
‐ Well, I don't know. It
could be their specialty.
‐ Don't. ‐ What?
Every time you get like quiet
and you like look me in the eye,
it's like you're about to‐‐
I don't even know what.
‐ You know how you tried to
do a vision board for me?
Just for you to know that I do listen,
and I take everything very serious.
What does that mean?
‐ There is something you need
to know about my culture,
the way I grew up.
My parents are very much very realists.
They're not like dreamers
where, you know,
they dream of a castle,
you know, all their life?
They kind of see things a
little more in reality,
you know, and they feel like
I have that side of me too
that I can see things,
it's more realistic than more like,
"Hey, I want to be God‐knows‐what."
‐ Yeah. ‐ You know?
All of my dreams and
hopes, they're very real
and they're honest,
and they're not just something
that I want to put on the paper
with hopes like it might happen or not.
I don't take my career for granted,
what I've done for the
past years for granted.
So she needs to let me be
the captain of my ship,
you know, because it means more to me
if she will give me that
time than continuously
to try to navigate me in a direction
that I might not
necessarily want to go.
So I think trust is a big thing.
I want you to trust me with it.
Like, it's very important.
‐ All I want, Artem, is for
you to know your worth.
‐ Okay.
‐ I know that anything you
want to be, you can be.
Whether that's 2 things or 200 things.
I'm not saying you have
to build me a castle
or you have to be some great thing
because that's what
vision boards are about
or that makes Nicole happy.
I want you to do what you
want to do so you're happy
because when you're happy, then
our relationship is happy.
I feel like Artem and I right now
are on, like, the same journey.
Here we both were part of an
industry for over a decade,
and we both got our hearts broken.
And it's like crazy to
me because this audition
for "WWE Backstage"
came out of nowhere,
and it just makes me think about Artem.
His opportunities are gonna come
and I need to stop forcing it.
Like, I just need to let
the universe do its thing
and know that, like,
he's gonna be getting those
knocks on the door too.
‐ I love you.
‐ Eww.
‐ I was lighting candles, and
I was like, "Poor Artem."
‐ It was the chair. Oh,
my God, that's stupid.
‐ I couldn't help it. ‐ Whatever.
‐ I felt bad for you.
‐ It is the chair. Right.
‐ I was talking to Nicole.
I kind of came up with a good idea.
‐ Okay.
‐ What do you think if you took
Birdie back home to Phoenix
and I stayed in L. A.
For the next few days to
get all my stuff done?
‐ When would you come home?
‐ Three days, in the morning.
‐ But then we'd literally
get zero days at home
because then I have to
leave for Australia.
We've gotten so little time together
because you've just been working.
‐ I don't know, maybe
it would be better
for you to be back in Phoenix
so you don't have to
be surrounded by me,
just being, you know, buried in work.
‐ Rather than being by you
while you're buried in work,
it's better for you
to be buried in work
completely away from us?
I don't even get what the point of you
doing all this stuff is. Like why‐‐
‐ Being an entrepreneur,
you don't understand that?
‐ Yeah.
‐ You know, the one thing is
I love business, I love it.
‐ Since when? ‐ I'm not
willing to sacrifice.
‐ When we first started
seeing each other,
we agreed on we want a simple life.
‐ We evolve as humans, who
maybe I was back then,
which I do like a
simple life, I'm just‐‐
‐ No, there's nothing about our
life that is simple right now.
‐ Oh, my gosh.
‐ When are we just supposed to
have a normal relationship?
‐ Our relationship was never normal.
Not from the beginning.
You and I were always on the
road from the beginning.
‐ Okay, maybe normal is the wrong word.
When are we supposed
to have time together?
Without cameras.
‐ What, am I supposed to plan that?
Like, plan something?
‐ I've tried to plan stuff. I've tried.
‐ No. ‐ Yeah.
But you don't even give me a
schedule a day in advance.
‐ You're the one who's
frustrated, like,
"You don't show enough PDA,"
all this kind of stuff.
How am I supposed to even show PDA
when we never even see each other?
‐ I don't complain that you're
on the road as much as you are.
‐ No, you're the one who wanted
me to sign the contract.
I wanted to be not as busy.
And then when you wanted
me to sign the contract,
I fought to have less dates
so I could be home more
with you and Birdie.
‐ The contract was the
only promising thing
going for you at the time.
‐ I had other options.
‐ It was not a guarantee.
‐ That's okay.
We have enough. And at what point‐‐
‐ And at the time, I was
just starting to start‐‐
‐ At what point is it enough? ‐
When are we suppose to
have time together?
‐ I don't complain that you're
on the road as much as you are.
‐ No, you're the one who wanted
me to sign the contract.
‐ The contract was the
only promising thing going
for you at the time. ‐ That's okay.
We have enough, and at what point‐‐
‐ And at the time, I was
just starting to start‐‐
‐ At what point is it enough? ‐
‐ I just felt like you wanted me,
when Birdie came, just kick
it at home or something.
‐ I never said that if
it was one business.
What's taking on too much
is three businesses, well, just do it.
‐ This might be a very small
time in our relationship.
‐ You expect for all of a
sudden you to be less busy?
‐ Yes. ‐ When?
‐ So I'm 35. I'm hoping
by the age of 40,
less than half of what I'm doing now.
That is my goal.
And then I hope we have
40 to 80 together.
‐ Short answer to your question, yeah,
I'll take Birdie home.
But then we won't see
each other for 10 days.
That's what our relationship
is going to be.
‐ Bryan is 100% right.
In the beginning of us dating,
I was just wrestling and
just living my life,
and I'm evolving as a woman.
I'm getting opportunities
I never in my life thought
I would ever get.
I have worked so hard to get here,
and I get it why it's hard for Bryan.
We both have changed,
and we do both want different things,
and we have to be okay with that.
Then stay in L. A.
I just brought it up because I thought
maybe it would make you
and Birdie's life easier.
‐ You brought it up because it
would make your life easier,
and because it will
make your life easier,
yes, Birdie and I will go home.
‐ A new era begins.
Welcome to the premiere
of "Friday Night SmackDown."
‐ What's up, guys?
‐ Nikki and Brie Bella, I'm so excited
that you guys are joining me right now.
It's got to be exciting for you guys
to just kind of kick back
and take in the show.
‐ Yes. ‐ Oh, my gosh.
‐ You know, we started on "SmackDown,"
so it's nice to kind
of come home and see
everyone right up there. ‐ Yeah.
Being here on the blue carpet
and doing my interview
with WWE Backstage,
what I've realized is no matter what,
if I get the job or not,
there will always be
opportunities to connect
with the WWE Universe.
I'm just so excited to
have these opportunities
and know that they're there.
‐ I wish you guys were back
in the ring, tearing it up.
‐ I know.
‐ Now you see what it's
like to sit back and watch.
‐ I know.
‐ All I want to do is fight someone.
Well, hey, right now,
here on the blue carpet.
‐ Uh‐oh. ‐ I'll let you guys win.
No problem. ‐ Heck, yeah.
‐ Hi. ‐ How are you doing?
‐ You guys are so pretty.
‐ So good to see you.
‐ Hey, how are you? ‐ I'm good.
‐ I was so nervous to
walk into SmackDown.
It's turning out to be such a blast.
Like, I really love seeing everyone.
I miss my WWE family, and
I'm so happy that I came.
I'm realizing now that I really
would have been bummed out
if I would have missed out on this.
‐ I think we might be in a
pre‐tape real quick, but it's‐‐
‐ Hey, I'm down. Right? ‐
I mean, I would love‐‐
‐ Just do a little run in? ‐ Run in.
‐ Heck yeah. ‐ Yeah, we should do it.
‐ I love it.
‐ I feel good. It's good
seeing everyone, you know?
‐ I know. Isn't it
good seeing everyone?
‐ Yeah.
‐ Welcome to the premiere
of "Friday Night SmackDown" on FOX.
‐ Charlotte and Bayley
have quite the history.
‐ Oh, my goodness.
‐ Boom. ‐ Double knees.
‐ Down goes Bayley. ‐ Oh!
‐ Classic Charlotte, as
she takes out Sasha.
‐ Being in the environment,
you feel the energy,
you hear the live crowd.
‐ There is nothing like it.
You feel that even as talent backstage.
‐ The People's Champ.
Oh!
The most electrifying move
in all of entertainment,
the People's Elbow.
‐ If you smell
what the Rock is cooking!
‐ Yeah.
‐ I often wonder
if this kind of relationship
is sustainable at all.
There's so much missing,
I think, in each of
our emotional lives.
We need to get back on the same page.
Honestly, we're just trying to survive.
That's what it feels like.
‐ Are we ready? Okay. ‐
We're ready to rehearse it.
Whenever you are. ‐ Nicole.
You ready?
‐ Artem! ‐ I'm done, I'm going home.
- ‐ No. Why?
- ‐ She can pick up her.
‐ The fact that I'm dealing
with this is crazy.
‐ Well, it's part of relationships.
‐ Well, then maybe I'm
not meant to be in it.
I mean, what is it that you want?
Wow, we really weren't meant to be.
What the did I do?
‐ The dancer will not be returning
for this upcoming season.
‐ It sucks being cut.
I can't really describe.
‐ I just told Dr. Uribe, "I
need an MRI on my neck."
And he goes, "We need to talk.
You have a cyst on your brain."
‐
‐ So with this injury Nikki has had,
our career as Bella twins
is coming to an end,
especially in the ring.
It's becoming more of reality.
I hate to say this, but
I've just realized,
like, I don't want another child.
‐ We started here as closer together,
and now we've been expanding
differently as far as
our viewpoints on life.
‐ I forgot to tell you. ‐ What?
‐ I got an audition with the show
Renee and Booker T are hosting.
‐ Did they ask about me?
‐ What would you like envision
in the next step of your life?
I'm a go‐getter, hustler, workhorse.
But being with Artem,
I have learned not
everyone is like that.
‐ You used to like pinch my
butt and do certain things.
You don't do that anymore.
‐ There's so much missing, I think,
in each of our emotional lives.
When are we supposed
to have time together?
When are we supposed to
have a normal relationship?
‐ Our relationship was never normal.
‐ Should I wear blue for SmackDown
or I have this purple I wore in Tokyo,
but I only wore it once.
What do you think? What should I wear?
‐ Oh, my gosh.
How did you fit into that?
‐ this thing?
‐ Oh, my gosh.
Whoo!
‐ Excuse me? You do not
do better than me.
‐ Yeah, I just did it, okay?
That's not a dance move.
‐ How? How? How? How?
You have to‐‐ you have to pick me up.
No!
‐ Brie and I have been asked
to attend the premiere
of WWE SmackDown in L. A.
‐ ‐ And I have to say,
I'm super excited just to
be a part of the show,
but damn, I would do
anything to be in a match.
‐ Please welcome, fearless Nikki Bella!
‐ You said it wrong. It's
okay, I forgive you.
‐ Ooh, ah, eeh, ooh.
‐ Poof.
Artem! ‐ I like it.
‐
‐ What kind of tequila did you do?
‐ Just whatever house tequila.
I'm not bougie as you are.
‐ Yeah, right.
Look at that view, Artem. ‐ Mm‐hmm?
‐ And Brie.
‐ And Brie, sorry.
I meant Brie too. ‐ No, you didn't.
‐ I think I said it to you first.
‐ You clearly meant him. ‐
Brie, look at downtown.
‐ And Artem.
‐ I'm texting, so if you
guys want to continue
to make out over there, it's fine.
‐ ‐ Gross.
‐ You act like you and Bryan
don't make out in public anymore.
‐ Bryan and I kiss. ‐ When?
‐ What do you mean when? Just
'cause we don't sit there
and make out in front of people.
‐ Oh, sorry, your sister is happy.
‐ I'm happy too. It's
just‐‐there's definitely
a reason why they call
it the honeymoon stage.
‐ Doesn't mean you don't have
a moment to have a big kiss in public.
‐ I guess‐‐ I mean, we have a kid.
It's funny because you always
are in the beginning stages
of a relationship saying, "I
will never be that couple
that doesn't give each other PDA."
And when I look at Artem
and Nicole, I'm like,
"Yeah, that used to be us.
But now that's not us."
Maybe stop kissing and
start communicating.
Communication is key. ‐ We know, hater,
who doesn't make out
with her man in public.
You better make out with
me till the day I die.
I mean, 90. If you wanna
be with this girl‐‐
‐ Vomit.
‐ I'm just a little nervous.
I've been avoiding this
doctor's appointment,
but like it's just on my mind
quite a bit too, you know?
But you need to know these
things to get ahead.
I'm headed to Dr. Uribe today
to get a checkup on my neck.
He had given me bad news recently,
and I'm coming to the understanding
that my in‐ring career is over.
I would just love to
participate in some way
and not just backstage,
but be ringside, which means
you're outside of the ring,
you're not participating in the match.
There's managers and ballets,
and you could be a part of stories.
‐ As far as I remember, I
make the matches around here.
‐ I just kind of wanted
to have that checkup
to know where I stand because I
just want to know my future.
Hi there.
I have an appointment with Dr. Uribe.
‐ There he is. ‐ Nikki.
‐ Stranger. ‐ How you doing?
See you for centuries. How you doing?
‐ I feel like it's been so long.
‐ I know. How you doing?
‐ This is Artem. ‐ That's good.
Nice to meet you. ‐
Pleasure to meet you too.
‐ Brought him in for moral support.
‐ That's awesome. ‐ Yeah.
‐ Yeah, so how's everything?
‐ Everything is good.
It's still busier than ever.
‐ You're in here for a reason.
I wanted to know what is
bringing you here today.
‐ Don't get me wrong.
Like, for me, overall health
is the most important.
And so I'd rather feel amazing
all the time than getting
back in the ring.
But what do you think about
ever being ringside?
‐ So this is the images
that we have, you know,
from the previous surgery.
Take a look. This is what I don't like.
You see that it's going
a little bit down?
‐ Yeah.
‐ And you see this is a little bit
what we call kyphosis, so
this level right here,
the wear and tear is becoming
faster than the normal
because we have a flexible part,
and it's already at a level
that is not that good.
‐ Sometimes we get these
opportunities to come back,
and it's like, "Oh, can
you manage this superstar
and be ringside?"
But there's activity going on the ring.
Like, you know, you're
standing right there.
‐ That's the problem with you, Nikki.
You always come around like,
"What about if I just put
my foot on the door?"
‐ Are there any chances
of being hurt? Yeah.
‐ So what are the chances
that someone comes
outside of the ring,
hits you and smashes you from the back,
and then‐‐'cause that's
part of the show.
We're talking about
big risks, you know?
I mean, easily, one bad
move is paralysis.
‐ Yeah.
‐ I mean, like you're
not able to walk again.
Your life would be over basically.
And I know it's hard
for you, Nikki, but...
‐ What is this?
‐ Making Artem a vision board.
Do you want to help me?
‐ Does he know you're doing this?
‐ No.
‐ I really don't know
anyone that's ever made
their boyfriend, "boyfriend"
a vision board.
‐ And I'm not everyone.
‐ The men we're with,
they don't like the chaos
that you and I put ourselves through.
I think what we need to ask
Artem and Nicole is, um‐‐
how do I say this, um,
how we can become a little
more PDA again in public?
‐ Is that what you want? ‐ Everything.
Well, I mean, it'd be
nice a little bit.
What do you think if you took
Birdie back home to Phoenix
and I stayed in L. A.
For the next few days to
get all my stuff done?
‐ How am I supposed to even show PDA
when we never even see each other?
We have enough, and at what point‐‐
‐ And at the time, I was
just starting to start‐‐
‐ At what point is it enough?
‐ Nattie, I'm so happy you
came to do this with me.
‐ I know. I love Artem's house.
‐ Isn't it cute? ‐ I mean,
I can tell he's got
such a nice sense of, like, taste.
‐ Yeah, you know he did
this whole kitchen,
like, on his own. ‐ It's
amazing, it's beautiful.
‐ Today, Nicole and I are gonna
be recording our podcast,
and we got to be really cool
to have Nattie as a guest.
‐ Have you ever met Artem? ‐ No.
‐ Oh, Nicole's with them right now.
I actually want to talk to you.
So Nicole is not gonna go to SmackDown.
‐ But you guys‐‐you're supposed
to walk the blue carpet.
‐ We're supposed to,
but she feels that if
she can't wrestle,
she doesn't want to just be backstage
'cause that's not what her
fans want to see her doing.
Ever since Nicole met with Dr. Uribe,
she kind of just feels
like her career is over,
and my sister knows she can
never go back in the ring.
And I know that's why she doesn't want
to go to SmackDown.
‐ For a long time, TJ didn't
want to be around wrestling
because it reminded him of
everything he couldn't do.
‐ TJ is Nattie's husband.
He used to wrestle for WWE,
but now he's a producer.
You know, Nattie went through
a lot with injuries, with TJ,
and I'm really happy
Nattie is here today
to just give her a little light
on what she can do in her career.
Natalya Neidhart is here.
‐ I really miss the
smell of you, Nattie.
‐ I know. ‐ Aww.
‐ Oh, my gosh. I miss
Nattie's smell every day.
‐ I'm doused in cream 'cause
I have so many issues.
I got punched in the
throat earlier this week.
‐ I can't even imagine‐‐ ‐
But are you doing okay?
‐ Yeah, I'm doing fine.
It's just‐‐you know, it
just kind of reminds you,
at any moment, things
can change like that.
I'm not 21. ‐ Yeah.
‐ When you're young, you
think you're invincible.
And for me, I'm 37.
‐ If wrestling was to
come to an end tomorrow,
like what is it like
you would want to do?
Is it just be retired
the rest of your life?
‐ Sometimes we get sad and think,
"When my career is done, like,
what else am I gonna do?"
And there's so many things I can do.
I would love to do some
behind the scenes stuff.
As much as I want to be Mae Young...
There's a time and a place
where we need to evolve
and grow as people.
‐ I agree. ‐ Stop and appreciate
who you are and what you
have to offer the world.
‐ I need to remind myself of that.
It is so amazing to see Nattie.
No matter how long it's
been since I've seen her,
she just brings a lot of comfort to me.
These were the words that
I needed for my soul.
This is like chicken soup
to my soul, as they say.
Hearing Nattie has made
me mentally feel like
I'm in the right place
to go to SmackDown.
Nattie's words are really,
really helping me.
‐ Even if it's just one thing special
that you can offer the world,
it's so important because all
of those little special things
add up to something big.
‐ Yeah. ‐ I have to admit,
I needed to hear that today. ‐ Yes.
‐ So thank you.
‐ So where are you taking me?
‐ You know, I already have
like three vision boards,
but I made a set like a new one.
And I think actually
you should have one.
I'm struggling with what I'm
going through with my neck.
It's hard to hear that you're
never allowed to something
again that you love,
but hearing Nattie talk,
that gave me hope of like,
"Yeah, I mean, fearless
Nikki doesn't have to just
"make an impact in the wrestling ring.
She can make an impact somewhere else."
I'm a go‐getter, a hustler, workhorse,
but being with Artem,
I have learned not
everyone's like that.
Pick out some magazines
so we could go home
and make some boards.
‐ And that's supposed to
help me to get, what?
‐ To envision what you want to do
in the next step of your
life, your next chapter.
‐ What would you, like, envision?
‐ I don't know.
‐ Artem hasn't been working
for a few months now.
What are your goals, Artem?
‐ First, find a job. ‐ You will.
You're gonna get something, I know you.
I'm the type of person, like
strike while the iron is hot.
Like, people want to know
what you're up to next,
and Artem waits for the right moment.
But go get the moment.
That's what I'm about.
You need something in the arts.
And‐‐oh, "House & Garden" for sure.
Ooh, I think you would kill
it in the fashion industry.
You could be a model.
You've got good genes. Your dad's hot.
‐ I don't know. ‐ He's like 65.
‐ Yeah, he's Russian.
We're preserved better
because we're in the cold
eight months of the year. ‐ Serious.
And then maybe‐‐Brad Pitt's
right there, look in "GQ."
Plus, I feel like you
kind of look like him.
‐ So now you want me to get tattoos,
look like Brad Pitt, become a model.
Who do you think I am? Wow.
‐ I don't know. I'm just
trying to help you find work.
‐ Why? Just because I don't
have a job right now,
you're trying to help me
find work by doing this?
Nicole does have a tendency
to kind of steer me
in a direction she wanted to steer,
and it comes from a very good place.
God, this was a great walk,
and then it turned into
like Artem has no goals, no
job, and everything about me.
Is that supposed to make me feel good
or is that supposed to make me feel?
‐ Oh, my gosh, Artem.
‐ I just want her to have a trust in me
that I'm not just sitting around
and not doing anything, you know,
because if she sees it as
that, it's kind of sad.
And I already invested in
the one job ten years,
and then look where it got, so...
‐ Hey, you've had an
incredible career, Mr. Artem.
Everything comes to an end.
I don't get to fight
in the ring anymore.
I think part of me, like,
pushing this vision board
so much is it's just I really want him
to find something that he had
with "Dancing with the Stars."
I want him to have that security,
and I just don't want him
to be jobless forever.
You're gonna thank me. ‐ We'll see.
‐ Here you go. Thank you so much.
‐ Thank you. ‐ Have a good day.
‐ All right, well, this
was a great experience.
Shall we go? ‐ Yeah. Aww.
‐ I really want to get out.
‐ So I think we're gonna
start with this look.
‐ And they're good with
everything barefooted?
‐ Yeah, perfect, yeah.
‐ Ooh, nice. Good.
‐ I was like I'd rather
you guys be barefoot
than wearing flat shoes.
God forbid. ‐ Yay!
‐ Nice. This is gorgeous, you guys.
Beautiful.
‐ ♪ Now give me that, give me that ♪
‐ Nice.
‐ SmackDown is in L. A. So
we're staying at a hotel.
‐ Brie, that's beautiful
what you're doing.
‐ So I am crazy busy this week.
The position I'm in now,
starting a new career,
you just can't stop and
take breaks and come back
thinking momentum will still be there.
The minute the momentum is happening,
you got to go with it, and sometimes
I have to make sacrifices and decisions
that might keep me away from
my family a couple days.
But right now is the time.
I just know, soon enough,
I will have a time where I
could kick back and relax,
but that time is not now.
‐ All right, here we go.
Soft, beautiful, gorgeous.
Eyes on me. Beautiful.
This is amazing!
‐ Hello! ‐ Hey.
‐ I come bearing food.
‐ Were you gonna knock? ‐
I don't have to knock.
It's your house.
‐ That's why I wish you
didn't have a key.
‐ What is this?
‐ Making Artem a vision board.
Do you want to help me?
‐ Does he know you're doing this?
‐ No.
But he'll know when he gets
home or when he goes to bed
and I put it in front of his sink.
‐ You might be a nightmare
of a girlfriend.
‐ Or the best bomb
girlfriend in the world.
‐ I really don't know
anyone that's ever made
their boyfriend, "boyfriend"
a vision board.
‐ And I'm not everyone.
‐ Poor Artem.
My sister is just gonna
control his whole life.
Her making this vision board,
I really don't think it's for Artem.
It's not who Artem is.
It's who Nicole wants Artem to be,
and those are two different things.
‐ Coffee. He wants to
own a coffee shop.
So if you find a really
cool coffee shop‐‐
‐ What?
So have him do a business
plan, not a vision board.
‐ Actually, tell me if you
find any good builder stuff
'cause I definitely feel
that's what he can do.
Should I put ballerina shoes?
Maybe he can book a ballet.
I have Brad Pitt because‐‐
‐ Because why?
‐ Artem kind of looks like Brad Pitt.
When he was‐‐ ‐ Aw, that's so cute.
‐ You're such a bitch. I
just need to find something
that's like wanting to
be a professional chef.
Oh, look it, he does love the piano.
‐ But that piano's on fire.
‐ Yeah, like a fire under his ass.
You know what I mean? I feel bad.
But I just feel like this will,
like, really help Artem.
‐ Yeah, but one thing you do
have to remember is people,
especially the men we are with,
they don't like the chaos
that you and I put ourselves through.
Like Bryan can't believe
how many things I juggle.
‐ I know, but I just know,
like, Artem can do so much.
‐ Yeah, I know, coffee
shop, choreography,
ballet, build a house,
and look like Brad Pitt, all in one.
‐ Yeah.
‐ Watching Nicole and
Artem makes me remember
how Bryan and I were in the beginning.
We were exactly that.
I was that girl too.
‐ Oh, Leo would be a good one.
Where did Leo‐‐
‐ That poor man.
There's other men's heads on
here and‐‐oh, David Beckham,
put David Beckham's head on.
‐ Oh, yeah. Perfect.
Artem and I, our personalities
are the exact opposite.
Like, he's an introvert.
I'm an outrovert.
Is that how you say it,
I think, an outrovert?
Extrovert.
Do I cut out the chick?
Oh, my God, it kind of does
look like Artem in the back,
the tattoos on the arm and
the beard and the hair.
‐ Yeah, but is he gonna visualize
making dinner with a blonde?
‐ Get me a brunette.
‐ You want Demi Moore's head?
‐ Yeah, give me Demi Moore's head.
Like I don't know what his dreams are.
I don't know anything he wants.
I've been working really hard
on a vision board for you.
‐ Oh. ‐ Come here.
‐ Is that your vision board,
you just like extended it?
‐ No, it's what I visualize for you
because I know you so well.
‐
‐ Oh, my God.
‐ I see your talents, and I feel like
the world hasn't remotely
seen what you can do.
I'm trying to light a
fire under your ass.
‐ I forgot to tell you. ‐ What?
‐ I got an audition for the show Renee
and Booker T are hosting.
‐ You didn't your own text? ‐ No!
‐ ‐ Whoa, like Bird‐Bird.
‐ It's nice we found
some parks here in L. A.
Whoa! Mr. Danielson.
Yeah, you know, Bird, this one
isn't gonna work out for Mama.
‐ That's not gonna work
out for Mama, sweet girl.
‐ Maybe Daddy wants to get
on this one with Mama.
‐ Okay. ‐ Oh, yeah.
‐ I'm not sure this is made for us.
I've never actually really
been behind you like this.
‐ We never rode a moped together?
‐ Did we not?
‐ Maybe I can let Artem‐‐
Or I can ask Artem
if I can ride his motorcycle
and you can hop on the back.
‐ I think what we need to
ask Artem and Nicole...
‐ Uh‐huh. ‐ Is how do we, uh‐‐
how do I say this?
How we can become a little
more PDA again in public
'cause all they do is kiss face
in front of everyone and everything‐‐
‐ Is that what you want?
Well, I mean, it'd be
nice a little bit.
‐ Well, you know, it's
interesting though
because it's like every
time I come home,
I kiss you a bunch.
But then every time I
do, it's almost like
you're looking at your
phone or doing business.
‐ Oh, my gosh, no. ‐ It's
so true, it's so true.
‐ Bryan, that is so in your head.
And sometimes I feel like
you always pick the times
when I'm like in the
middle of an email.
‐ That's not true. ‐ Yes, it is.
We don't have PDA anymore.
Like, we either joke
about it that like,
"Ha‐ha‐ha, it's not there
anymore, it's funny."
Or we just ignore it
because we're too tired.
We just still need to
understand how it is to be
a married couple, parents,
and just career people.
Like Bryan and I just haven't
been able to find all that yet.
You used to, like, pinch my
butt and do certain things.
You don't do that anymore.
‐ In public? ‐ Yeah.
‐ No. That's not my deal.
Does Artem pinch Nicole's butt?
I never see him do that.
‐ I was sitting on the couch
with him the other night,
and his hand was fully on
her boob in front of me,
which I would not like
it if you did that.
And I like made a comment, I was like,
"Yo, I'm right there."
‐ Maybe now is a good
time to start in front
of all these children.
Is that what you'd like?
‐ No. ‐ Hi, kids.
This is how you should
interact with other people.
‐
‐ Right after hearing Brie say
our family is not gonna be
as big as we had planned it to be,
I'm mildly annoyed by the
demand for more PDA.
When I come here, I'm all
about Brie and Birdie,
but Brie's got Birdie,
she's got Nicole,
she's got her businesses,
she's got all these other things.
And so it's easier for me to
fall kind of by the wayside,
and that's one of the
compromises that we've made,
and I think that's the issue.
We're both feeling this disconnection.
It just shows kind of where
we're at in our relationship.
‐ Bye‐bye.
‐ Bird‐Bird, do you want to dip?
‐ Let's do the dip first, ready?
‐ Dip.
‐ Whoa!
‐ Dip. Dip.
‐ Dip. ‐ Yay!
Dip, dip, dip.
‐ Aww. ‐ Okay.
‐ Whoa. ‐ Whoa.
‐ ‐ Yeah.
Yep, coming up.
‐ One, two, three! ‐ Whoa!
‐ No.
‐ Well, I have a presentation.
‐ Oh, gosh.
‐ So hear me out first
before I present this
'cause I've been working really hard.
‐ Oh. ‐ And I don't need
sound effects from the peanut gallery.
So I've been working really
hard on a vision board for you.
‐ Oh, my God, you just can't
let go of the vision board.
‐ No, I can't because I
know what it's done for me
and my career and my personal life.
Can I just go through it with you?
‐ Oh, my God. What is that?
‐ It's called hard work and love.
Come here.
‐ Is that your vision board,
you just like extended it?
‐ No, it's what I visualized for you
because I know you so well.
‐ But why is there like a whole
bunch of women everywhere?
Why would I want to visualize
a whole bunch of women?
‐ I have to see this. ‐ Oh, my God.
‐ A little embarrassed
for you, but it's okay.
‐ That's weird. That's so weird.
‐ I feel like I have to like
take care of him, like‐‐
‐ That's so weird.
Nicole made a vision board for Artem?
That doesn't seem like
something that you should do
for somebody else.
Like, here's what I want you
to envision for your future.
‐ What is this section?
‐ Paris fashion, because
you and I always want
to do stuff in Paris. That's dancing.
Since you got cut from
"Dancing with the Stars‐‐"
I mean, time is money, Artem.
You know what I mean?
‐ I know.
‐ And like, you know entertainment.
We all can be done in 15 minutes.
I see your talents and
I feel like the world
hasn't like remotely
seen what you can do.
Over here, I have construction,
and I have like home stuff
because you're so incredible at it,
and I honestly think that we
could capitalize on that.
‐ Can I just ask you a question?
‐ I wasn't done.
‐ So this is our vision board
or it's my vision board?
‐ It's your vision board,
but I'm in your life.
I'm trying to light a
fire under your ass.
‐ That vision board, I
can't even pronounce right
because it's terrible.
What makes you think
that I don't hustle?
I exist and live how I did
for many, many years,
over‐‐over 30.
Let's just‐‐let's just
leave it at that.
I did survive on my own before,
so I kind of know what I'm doing.
I just want to be myself.
Just because I don't run,
storm out of this door saying like,
"Hey, I'm gonna go do this right now,"
it doesn't mean I'm
just sitting on my ass
doing nothing.
I just do it differently than
putting it on a vision board.
‐ I'm on Artem's side, Nicole.
I think Artem needs to do his
own vision the way he does it.
Back off.
‐ The thought is good.
Maybe the presentation,
"These should be your
dreams," maybe not as good.
‐ So I was here when Nicole
put this picture on,
and she was hoping that Artem
would age like Brad Pitt.
‐ No, I said he is going
to age like Brad Pitt.
‐ She wants‐‐ ‐ That's
your vision of him.
‐ Well, Artem looks like Brad Pitt.
‐ Oh, wow.
‐ Why don't you have Bryan just
take Birdie home and you stay?
‐ Him being here is a way
for us to see each other.
‐ That's sucks.
How has it not made your
marriage suffer at all?
‐ It's really stressful.
‐ Welcome to the premiere of
"Friday Night SmackDown."
Classic Charlotte, as
she takes down Sasha.
‐ Being in the environment,
you feel the energy,
you hear the live crowd.
I'm so happy that I came.
‐ The most electrifying move
in all of entertainment!
‐ It's clothes that fit for Bird.
Honestly, one of these
would be nice in my place.
And your legs pop out.
These should not just be for moms.
‐ They're not. ‐ Oh, my gosh.
‐ You know, that's actually
cool that it has a remote.
‐ I know. I need this for my workspace.
‐ You have zero space in your office.
‐ Look it, when Artem's talking
to me, I'm like, "What?"
That always happens.
‐ I need that when Bryan talks to me.
‐ Oh, my gosh.
That chair is amazing.
‐ Oh, my gosh. Nicole,
look a little Frenchie.
‐ Aw. Okay, what do
we need to get Bird?
‐ None of her PJs are
fitting, of course.
It's like she had a big
grow spurt yesterday.
‐ "Suddenly, you are my everything."
I feel like I should get
Artem that blanket.
‐ Okay, this isn't for Artem.
We're here for Bird. ‐ Aww.
‐ 'Cause my poor daughter,
we're out of town,
and I can't‐‐all of her
clothes aren't fitting.
I can't believe it. Oh, Nicole.
‐ Yeah. What's going on?
‐ It's not been good at the hotel.
‐ Really? But you guys
got a two‐bedroom suite.
‐ Doesn't matter. Birdie's
been sleeping so bad.
The beds are so uncomfortable.
It's just‐‐it's been a miserable stay,
part of us wants to go home early.
‐ Why don't you guys just
stay at Artem and I's house?
‐ Yeah. Well, is there enough room?
‐ We could always make the
office into Bird‐Bird room.
‐ In a perfect business world,
if I could have alone time
for the next two days,
I will get triple the stuff done.
I think like that, but then,
I do have Bryan and Birdie here.
So it automatically makes me be like,
"Uh, can I miss this business meeting?
Hopefully, they'll make
this one shorter."
It makes everything more difficult.
‐ What's up? Why are you so stressed?
‐ Look at my life. Yeah.
‐ Why don't you have Bryan just
take Birdie home and you stay?
Why, you think Bryan
will get upset if you
tell him to go home?
‐ Probably. ‐ Why?
‐ Why do you think? The
thing is we feel like him
being here is a way for
us to see each other.
‐ Damn, that sucks. I don't envy you.
How you always have to try and
figure out Birdie is nuts.
How has it not, like, made
your marriage suffer at all?
‐ I'm just shocked now to see
where Bryan and I are at.
I never in a million years
thought Bryan and I
would ever be disconnected
or be in that position
where we feel like
we're drifting away from
each other, but we are.
It's something we actually
have to take serious
if we want this marriage to work.
It's been really tough having
them here, how she's been,
I feel like she needs
me, but Bryan needs me.
It's really stressful.
‐ I swear, when I say you
are good birth control,
these are the moments.
‐ Whatever. ‐ It's true.
‐ Congratulations. ‐ Thank you.
‐ This is so exciting.
‐ So happy to have you guys here.
‐ I know, we're so happy to be here.
‐ Oh, my God, isn't it?
‐ Yeah, thank you. ‐ Brie,
did you want a drink?
‐ Brie and I have a super crazy week,
but our good friend Kristen
is having a store opening.
She's opening a new,
like, design store,
and she's the one that's
designing my house.
So we really want to go
there and represent,
plus, she's promoting
her wine, Belle Radici.
‐ I could, like, live in here.
‐ I'm obsessed with that.
‐ Hello! ‐ Hi.
‐ How cute is this?
How are you? ‐ I'm good, yeah.
‐ Hey, I forgot to tell you. ‐ What?
‐ I got an audition with the show
Renee and Booker T are hosting.
‐ Yeah, like the‐‐
‐ They're, like, auditioning co‐hosts.
So I got a call today to have
an audition for the show
"WWE Backstage" for a
new commentating spot.
Nattie was right.
Getting this audition,
it's definitely made me realize
that there's other things
I can do in the WWE besides wrestle,
that I could still be a part
of this amazing family,
still have an impact,
and it just makes me feel really good.
‐ Did they ask about me?
They didn't? ‐ You
didn't your own text?
‐ No! That's weird that they
wouldn't want the Bella Twins.
‐ Do you think maybe
because you say so often,
like, Birdie and‐‐
‐ I think so.
‐ I think they don't want
to put the stress on.
‐ I mean, okay, yeah,
it would stress me out,
but, like, it's nice to be
asked and for me to say no.
I mean, I am busy.
‐ I was shocked too. That's
why I thought, like, oh,
maybe 'cause I live in L. A.,
they were just wondering.
‐ Probably because of that.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm mistaken
but the Bella Twins,
we're the tag team.
‐ You say no to a lot of
things 'cause of Birdie,
which is amazing, so‐‐ ‐
But let me say no again.
I am a little jealous.
‐ Maybe they just think I'm hotter.
‐ Maybe‐‐well.
‐ Oh, wait. They don't
think I'm hotter.
They think I'm more
accomplished in the ring.
Okay, you guys get drinks.
You okay? Seriously?
‐ Yeah. ‐ I felt bad.
‐ I'm sure you do.
‐ When are we supposed
to have time together?
Do you expect for all of a
sudden you to be less busy?
‐ Yes. ‐ When?
‐ I'm hoping by the age of 40.
And then I hope we have
40 to 80 together.
‐ Because it will make
your life easier, yes,
Birdie and I will go home.
And then we won't see
each other for ten days.
That's what our
relationship is gonna be.
‐ Three, two‐‐
‐ She is the longest‐reigning
Divas Champion in history.
One of the stars of "Total Bellas."
We are joined now by Nikki Bella.
‐ That's right. What up, you guys?
I'm just kind of nervous
because this is something
I've never really done before.
‐ Nikki, what do you
think of this feud?
‐ Here we go, three‐‐
do the sound take.
‐ She is the longest reigning
Diva's Champion in history.
One of the stars of "Total
Bellas," Nikki Bella.
‐ I got a call for an audition
for the show "WWE Backstage."
I'm just kind of nervous
because this is something I've
never really done before.
‐ I mean, the Fiend scares me. ‐ Yeah.
‐ I want to see Seth somewhere else.
Like when Seth was such a
bad boy, he was so cool.
He just came out and he
dripped of coolness.
Now it's like...
‐ Okay. ‐ I'm saying it how it is.
This interview starts to make
me feel like going to SmackDown
is the right thing
because we are family.
WWE has been my life for so long,
and it's a part of me,
and yes, I will miss out
on the action in the ring.
But I have great friends there.
And I have family there.
And that's who I need
to go and support.
‐ Some of you jerks
have hid your keyboards
and taken shots at our panels.
Now it's time for them
to slap a little back.
Here we go. "Nikki Bella sucks.
"I would rather hear
Jillian Hall singing
than seeing Nikki wrestle." ‐ Wow.
‐ That actually is quite the burn.
‐ That's bad. ‐ Give it to him.
‐ Where's Nicholas.
First of all, Jillian
Hall made it iTunes.
What did you make it to?
So, Nicholas, probably
should be named Nikki.
Oh, but wait, Nikki could
probably beat your ass.
Next time when you want
to write something,
write @bellatwins and
say it to my Twitter.
B, boom.
‐ She got your ass. ‐ Ahh!
‐ What do you got there?
‐ Steak tartar. Think
they put onion in it.
‐ Did they really? No, that's mushroom.
‐ No, that's cucumber.
They don't have mushrooms
in steak tartar. Aw.
‐ Well, I don't know. It
could be their specialty.
‐ Don't. ‐ What?
Every time you get like quiet
and you like look me in the eye,
it's like you're about to‐‐
I don't even know what.
‐ You know how you tried to
do a vision board for me?
Just for you to know that I do listen,
and I take everything very serious.
What does that mean?
‐ There is something you need
to know about my culture,
the way I grew up.
My parents are very much very realists.
They're not like dreamers
where, you know,
they dream of a castle,
you know, all their life?
They kind of see things a
little more in reality,
you know, and they feel like
I have that side of me too
that I can see things,
it's more realistic than more like,
"Hey, I want to be God‐knows‐what."
‐ Yeah. ‐ You know?
All of my dreams and
hopes, they're very real
and they're honest,
and they're not just something
that I want to put on the paper
with hopes like it might happen or not.
I don't take my career for granted,
what I've done for the
past years for granted.
So she needs to let me be
the captain of my ship,
you know, because it means more to me
if she will give me that
time than continuously
to try to navigate me in a direction
that I might not
necessarily want to go.
So I think trust is a big thing.
I want you to trust me with it.
Like, it's very important.
‐ All I want, Artem, is for
you to know your worth.
‐ Okay.
‐ I know that anything you
want to be, you can be.
Whether that's 2 things or 200 things.
I'm not saying you have
to build me a castle
or you have to be some great thing
because that's what
vision boards are about
or that makes Nicole happy.
I want you to do what you
want to do so you're happy
because when you're happy, then
our relationship is happy.
I feel like Artem and I right now
are on, like, the same journey.
Here we both were part of an
industry for over a decade,
and we both got our hearts broken.
And it's like crazy to
me because this audition
for "WWE Backstage"
came out of nowhere,
and it just makes me think about Artem.
His opportunities are gonna come
and I need to stop forcing it.
Like, I just need to let
the universe do its thing
and know that, like,
he's gonna be getting those
knocks on the door too.
‐ I love you.
‐ Eww.
‐ I was lighting candles, and
I was like, "Poor Artem."
‐ It was the chair. Oh,
my God, that's stupid.
‐ I couldn't help it. ‐ Whatever.
‐ I felt bad for you.
‐ It is the chair. Right.
‐ I was talking to Nicole.
I kind of came up with a good idea.
‐ Okay.
‐ What do you think if you took
Birdie back home to Phoenix
and I stayed in L. A.
For the next few days to
get all my stuff done?
‐ When would you come home?
‐ Three days, in the morning.
‐ But then we'd literally
get zero days at home
because then I have to
leave for Australia.
We've gotten so little time together
because you've just been working.
‐ I don't know, maybe
it would be better
for you to be back in Phoenix
so you don't have to
be surrounded by me,
just being, you know, buried in work.
‐ Rather than being by you
while you're buried in work,
it's better for you
to be buried in work
completely away from us?
I don't even get what the point of you
doing all this stuff is. Like why‐‐
‐ Being an entrepreneur,
you don't understand that?
‐ Yeah.
‐ You know, the one thing is
I love business, I love it.
‐ Since when? ‐ I'm not
willing to sacrifice.
‐ When we first started
seeing each other,
we agreed on we want a simple life.
‐ We evolve as humans, who
maybe I was back then,
which I do like a
simple life, I'm just‐‐
‐ No, there's nothing about our
life that is simple right now.
‐ Oh, my gosh.
‐ When are we just supposed to
have a normal relationship?
‐ Our relationship was never normal.
Not from the beginning.
You and I were always on the
road from the beginning.
‐ Okay, maybe normal is the wrong word.
When are we supposed
to have time together?
Without cameras.
‐ What, am I supposed to plan that?
Like, plan something?
‐ I've tried to plan stuff. I've tried.
‐ No. ‐ Yeah.
But you don't even give me a
schedule a day in advance.
‐ You're the one who's
frustrated, like,
"You don't show enough PDA,"
all this kind of stuff.
How am I supposed to even show PDA
when we never even see each other?
‐ I don't complain that you're
on the road as much as you are.
‐ No, you're the one who wanted
me to sign the contract.
I wanted to be not as busy.
And then when you wanted
me to sign the contract,
I fought to have less dates
so I could be home more
with you and Birdie.
‐ The contract was the
only promising thing
going for you at the time.
‐ I had other options.
‐ It was not a guarantee.
‐ That's okay.
We have enough. And at what point‐‐
‐ And at the time, I was
just starting to start‐‐
‐ At what point is it enough? ‐
When are we suppose to
have time together?
‐ I don't complain that you're
on the road as much as you are.
‐ No, you're the one who wanted
me to sign the contract.
‐ The contract was the
only promising thing going
for you at the time. ‐ That's okay.
We have enough, and at what point‐‐
‐ And at the time, I was
just starting to start‐‐
‐ At what point is it enough? ‐
‐ I just felt like you wanted me,
when Birdie came, just kick
it at home or something.
‐ I never said that if
it was one business.
What's taking on too much
is three businesses, well, just do it.
‐ This might be a very small
time in our relationship.
‐ You expect for all of a
sudden you to be less busy?
‐ Yes. ‐ When?
‐ So I'm 35. I'm hoping
by the age of 40,
less than half of what I'm doing now.
That is my goal.
And then I hope we have
40 to 80 together.
‐ Short answer to your question, yeah,
I'll take Birdie home.
But then we won't see
each other for 10 days.
That's what our relationship
is going to be.
‐ Bryan is 100% right.
In the beginning of us dating,
I was just wrestling and
just living my life,
and I'm evolving as a woman.
I'm getting opportunities
I never in my life thought
I would ever get.
I have worked so hard to get here,
and I get it why it's hard for Bryan.
We both have changed,
and we do both want different things,
and we have to be okay with that.
Then stay in L. A.
I just brought it up because I thought
maybe it would make you
and Birdie's life easier.
‐ You brought it up because it
would make your life easier,
and because it will
make your life easier,
yes, Birdie and I will go home.
‐ A new era begins.
Welcome to the premiere
of "Friday Night SmackDown."
‐ What's up, guys?
‐ Nikki and Brie Bella, I'm so excited
that you guys are joining me right now.
It's got to be exciting for you guys
to just kind of kick back
and take in the show.
‐ Yes. ‐ Oh, my gosh.
‐ You know, we started on "SmackDown,"
so it's nice to kind
of come home and see
everyone right up there. ‐ Yeah.
Being here on the blue carpet
and doing my interview
with WWE Backstage,
what I've realized is no matter what,
if I get the job or not,
there will always be
opportunities to connect
with the WWE Universe.
I'm just so excited to
have these opportunities
and know that they're there.
‐ I wish you guys were back
in the ring, tearing it up.
‐ I know.
‐ Now you see what it's
like to sit back and watch.
‐ I know.
‐ All I want to do is fight someone.
Well, hey, right now,
here on the blue carpet.
‐ Uh‐oh. ‐ I'll let you guys win.
No problem. ‐ Heck, yeah.
‐ Hi. ‐ How are you doing?
‐ You guys are so pretty.
‐ So good to see you.
‐ Hey, how are you? ‐ I'm good.
‐ I was so nervous to
walk into SmackDown.
It's turning out to be such a blast.
Like, I really love seeing everyone.
I miss my WWE family, and
I'm so happy that I came.
I'm realizing now that I really
would have been bummed out
if I would have missed out on this.
‐ I think we might be in a
pre‐tape real quick, but it's‐‐
‐ Hey, I'm down. Right? ‐
I mean, I would love‐‐
‐ Just do a little run in? ‐ Run in.
‐ Heck yeah. ‐ Yeah, we should do it.
‐ I love it.
‐ I feel good. It's good
seeing everyone, you know?
‐ I know. Isn't it
good seeing everyone?
‐ Yeah.
‐ Welcome to the premiere
of "Friday Night SmackDown" on FOX.
‐ Charlotte and Bayley
have quite the history.
‐ Oh, my goodness.
‐ Boom. ‐ Double knees.
‐ Down goes Bayley. ‐ Oh!
‐ Classic Charlotte, as
she takes out Sasha.
‐ Being in the environment,
you feel the energy,
you hear the live crowd.
‐ There is nothing like it.
You feel that even as talent backstage.
‐ The People's Champ.
Oh!
The most electrifying move
in all of entertainment,
the People's Elbow.
‐ If you smell
what the Rock is cooking!
‐ Yeah.
‐ I often wonder
if this kind of relationship
is sustainable at all.
There's so much missing,
I think, in each of
our emotional lives.
We need to get back on the same page.
Honestly, we're just trying to survive.
That's what it feels like.
‐ Are we ready? Okay. ‐
We're ready to rehearse it.
Whenever you are. ‐ Nicole.
You ready?
‐ Artem! ‐ I'm done, I'm going home.
- ‐ No. Why?
- ‐ She can pick up her.
‐ The fact that I'm dealing
with this is crazy.
‐ Well, it's part of relationships.
‐ Well, then maybe I'm
not meant to be in it.
I mean, what is it that you want?
Wow, we really weren't meant to be.
What the did I do?
