The Talking Smack show was held by Renee Young and the Smackdown General Manger, Daniel Bryan. This week, the show was pre-taped due to the fact that Bryan was involved in a dark segment after the main show of Smackdown was over.
The first guest on the show was Nikki Bella after quite a long time. Renee went straight to address the elephant in the room i.e. her verbal confrontation with Natalya on Smackdown.
Nikki was seen deeply hurt with the nasty comments from Nattie who even told that Cena would have loved to marry her instead of Nikki given the fact that she was not married. The Bella Queen was fired up to get her hands on Nattie on this Sunday.
Natalya came running in into the show to confront her opponent. Nikki slapped the taste out of Nattie’s mouth causing a brawl between the two of them. Natalya bumped Nikki’s neck into the wall and then hit her into the glass ceiling to lay Nikki down.

The security team arrived on the scene to stop Natalya who was enjoying hurting Nikki. Bryan was really concerned about Nikki’s health and sent her for a check-up.

Eventually, John Cena was the next guest on the show who witnessed the footage of his girlfriend attacked by the Queen of Harts on the show. So, for the very first time, he commented about Nikki on WWE TV.
He said that Nikki is the strongest female person that he has seen in his life and is quite sure that she will bring her A-game in Sunday’s Elimination Chamber PPV.
