On today’s episode of SiriusXM’s The Nikki and Brie Show, Nikki Garcia talks about her “Ciao Bella” WWE pitch.
During the episode, Nikki shares that she pitched a promo idea for Clash, called “Ciao Bella” where she does fun Italian moments with WWE stars.
Nikki Garcia on her “Ciao Bella” WWE pitch for Clash in Italy (5:18- 7:45)
Nikki Garcia: Well, I mean, I at first thought I was going to be at Clash in Italy, not obviously performing but I pitched this incredible idea called Ciao Bella and I was like, “Hey guys, I would love to do this whether it’s pre-show like when we used to do those fun promo commercial things for PLE or just make it social.” I had where I titled it “Ciao Bella” because obviously Bella and being in Italy and Brie and I, half Italian, but where I’d have these different moments with WWE superstars. So like there would be a moment where I’m on like the Italian scooter with Danhausen and his scarf is like flying in my face and then it cuts to like having a moment with Brie and Paige and having Aperol Spritz with the tag team champions and then I’d be on a gondola ride with Gunther and like he’s just staring straight being Gunther and I’m like looking around like totally Emily in Paris like what’s happening? This is what gave me the idea of like Emily in Rome, like me totally being like an Emily with WWE superstars and then the gondolier is like, you know, another WWE superstar that’s either giving me the looks or he’s someone that, you know, hates Gunther. And then I have this other moment where Oba and I are getting Gelato and trying to attempt a selfie with him. And obviously the height difference, but then Judgement Day comes and slaps our gelato out of our hands. How dare they? And I had all these fun little segment ideas with all these WWE superstars that were very Italian and fun and gave you the Emily and Paris vibes because obviously you’ll watch Clash in Italy. It’s Netflix International. So I thought, “Oh my gosh, this would be all so fun.”
Brie Garcia: It’s a historic I hate saying historical, but it’s the first time ever there’s been a PLE in Italy,
Nikki Garcia: Right? And they showed interest. Like I was going back with the team and they really like the idea, oh this was my ending segment. Then I’m walking down the street and they keep going “ciao bella, ciao bella” because they do that in Italy, right? And then I take a pause and I go, “Oh my god, I’m like so famous here.” But obviously it’s because they call everyone Bella, but I think it’s oh because I’m Nikki Bella. So it was cute and they all loved it but then fell through.
The Nikki & Brie Show hosted by Nikki & Brie Garcia is available anytime on the SiriusXM app. New episodes every Monday and Thursday. Listen to the full episode here.

Liv Morgan explains why she’s entering the Queen of the Ring tournament as champion
The WWE Women’s World champion, Liv Morgan, clarified why she is in the Queen of the Ring tournament as a reigning champion.
Addressing a packed Clash in Italy post-show in Turin, Morgan said, “It had me thinking of all the people that say Liv Morgan isn’t worthy of being champion, and you know what that made me think? That made me think that I am entering the Queen of the Ring tournament because I want it all!”
The winner of the Queen of the Ring gets a title match opportunity at SummerSlam and Morgan is eyeing two belts.
“I want it all, so I’m taking it all. Because I am the greatest Women’s World champion of all time,” she continued.
Replying to a post on X by a fan asking her to explain why she’s in the tournament when the winner faces the champion, Morgan also took her time to explain.
“I, THE Liv Morgan, am a 3x world champion, 4x tag team champion, inaugural Crown Jewel champion, MITB winner, Rumble winner, & I have no challengers for my WWC because everyone is too scared to challenge me,” Morgan wrote.
She said that she has the most dominant faction in all of WWE watching her back.
“So me being the hard working go getter that I am, have decided to enter and win the QOTR tournament because I am better than everyone else and I want it ALL. Do u understand now?” she added.
Every time Tyson Fury has been knocked down
Tyson Fury has built one of the most remarkable careers in heavyweight boxing history, winning world titles, retiring and unretiring, and trading blows with the hardest punchers on the planet. Few fighters have been tested as thoroughly as the Gypsy King, and fewer still have found a way back from the canvas as many times as he has.
For those who follow his fights through services available on iOS and Android device, like LiveScore, it helps to know exactly what you’re backing, and that means knowing how many times this man has been on the floor and found a way back. Because for all his brilliance, the Gypsy King has been put on the floor more times than most people remember. Here is every single occasion.
Neven Pajkic, 2011
The first man to knock Fury down was a Canadian boxer that most never heard of. In their Commonwealth title fight, Pajkic landed a right hand that sent the then 22-year-old crashing to the floor in round two. Fury recovered and went on to win the fight via TKO in the third round.
Steve Cunningham, 2013
Fury’s American debut at Madison Square Garden was supposed to be a statement of intent ahead of a tilt at the world’s best. Instead, the heavily outweighted Steve Cunningham floored him with a big overhand right in round two after Fury had been reckless and cocky from the opening bell.
He gathered himself, settled into the fight and eventually stopped Cunningham in round seven, but it was an early sign that Fury was not untouchable.
Deontay Wilder I, 2018 – rounds 9 and 12
Of all the nights in Fury’s career, this is the one that still gets talked about. In round nine, Wilder put him down with a left hook and overhand right combination. Then, in the final round, Wilder landed a right-left combination that sent Fury crashing flat on his back and completely motionless.
The crowd in Los Angeles erupted, Wilder wheeled away thinking it was done, and the referee began his count. Somehow, Fury dragged himself upright, survived the round and the fight was ruled a draw after all 12 rounds.
Deontay Wilder III, 2021 – rounds 4 (twice)
Their trilogy fight in Las Vegas is widely regarded as one of the greatest heavyweight contests ever made. Fury had Wilder down in round three, but the American came storming back in round four, knocking Fury down twice in the same round with a left jab followed by a straight right to the temple, and then a short right hook. Both times, Fury got back to his feet, and he eventually finished Wilder in round 11 to retain his WBC title.
Francis Ngannou, 2023 – round 3
Ngannou was a former UFC heavyweight champion making his professional boxing debut, and Fury was installed as a 1-14 favourite to handle him comfortably. In round three, Ngannou clipped him with a left hook to the temple, and Fury went down again. He recovered to win on a split decision, but the performance unsettled a lot of people who had expected a far more controlled display, and heading into the Usyk fights it left a lingering doubt about where Fury’s sharpness really was.
Oleksandr Usyk I, 2024 – round 9
The most serious knockdown of Fury’s career came against Usyk in Riyadh in May 2024. Usyk backed him onto the ropes in round nine, landed several punches in a relentless burst, and the final blow left Fury slumped in the corner, barely standing. The referee ruled it a knockdown, issued a standing eight-count, and Fury was saved by the bell. He dug in and saw out the remaining rounds but lost on a split decision, his first professional defeat.
