Nikki Bella then proceeded to WWE having editorial rights by which that they took out a few stories from her final draft, as well. But she doesn’t have much regrets about it because there are not many bad things which were removed from the book.
“I mean WWE also had editing rights and took out a few stories as well,” Nikki said. “And I respect that. I understand that I’m not a private person and some people like to be private, but even with the stuff that was edited with John, there was nothing crazy bad.”
The former Divas Champion then added that she just didn’t wish to end up in a situation as it did end with John Cena. She was pretty young while getting into a relationship with the poster boy of the company. But overall, she had a good relationship with him and she doesn’t want to keep a bitter feeling about it. Here’s what Nikki Bella has said upon getting asked whether she regretted signing a contract,
“You know, I was so young. I was either 28 or 29. I don’t regret it because I understand…even now I understand it, I do. But I also do represent being an empowering woman and using your voice, and so those are the moments where I wish maybe I handled things a little differently because of what I represent now and what I’ve always wanted to represent, and I feel like sometimes that can take your voice away, but I don’t have regrets with it.”
