“I had an audition for Baywatch. I ended up not doing it,” she said on the podcast. “Because I knew that I would not be comfortable wearing—if I was to get it—I would not be comfortable wearing a red swimsuit 24/7.”

“I am not confident yet in a swimsuit, so I didn’t do it,” Nikki continued. “What I’ve learned is I have to put myself in positions of, like, where I feel most confident.”

While she’s not so confident about putting on a swimsuit, she did explain where she is confident.

“When I’m walking down that ramp,” she explained of making her way to the WWE wrestling ring, “and I’m in my Nikki Bella gear, I am so confident.”

Earlier this month, Nikki was supposed to take part in a match at Wrestlemania 42 in Las Vegas alongside Brie, but was unable to compete due to injury. Paige stepped in in her place!

“Fractured, tore and sprained my ankle,” she shared on Twitter/X. “It’s been a painful two weeks.”

“It’s crazy how life works. It’s part of the journey, right? We always have that comeback,” she said onstage during an appearance with a crutch. “There is no one else, and I truly mean this, no other WWE Superstar in the past or now that I would want to take my spot other than Paige.”
