JUST IN: NIKKI BELLA BREAKS SILENCE ON JOHN CENA CHANTS: "NO! THANK ME!"
Nikki Bella explains the origin of the Fearless Lock and why it differs from John Cena’s STF. Read her response to the RAW crowd.
Nikki Bella recently spoke up about fans comparing her submission move, the Fearless Lock, to John Cena’s famous STF.
During her match against Raquel Rodriguez on WWE RAW, Nikki locked in the Fearless Lock. The crowd immediately noticed how much it looked like Cena’s move and started chanting, “Thank you, Cena!” Nikki didn’t hold back—she fired back, “No! Thank me.”
On The Nikki & Brie Show, Nikki set the record straight. She explained that the Fearless Lock isn’t just a copy of Cena’s STF. “People forget—I used to do the Fearless Lock,” she said. “Yeah, I was with John at the time, but my move is different. He lies on top of people and grabs the front of their face. It’s not the same thing at all.”
She also shared that Shayna Baszler actually taught her the Fearless Lock, and it’s a legit submission. “Shayna gave it to me. We called it the Fearless Lock because of Fearless Nikki. After my neck injury, I trained a lot with Nattie, Shayna, and Bayley at the PC. I even went to an MMA gym with Shayna so she could teach me some real moves.”
Nikki admitted the Cena chants didn’t really get to her. She hadn’t even thought about him coming up that night. “I just wanted to come back from my neck injury with a new submission. Shayna showed me this move and said, ‘It’s nothing like John’s.’ I get why people think it looks similar, but the way I lock it in is different—you can see it. You’re pulling the person back, not just lying on top.”
She added, “Raquel was the first person I tried it on who’s over six feet tall, so it looked and felt different. I honestly wasn’t thinking about John at all, but when the crowd started chanting for him, the old Nikki came out. I just shouted, ‘Thank me!’ I loved it.”
FINAL CALL: THE SHOCKING TRUTH BEHIND CODY RHODES’ BATTLE FOR THE RHODES NAME
Why was Cody Rhodes banned from his own name? Explore the "awful" Stardust era and the legal war that led him back to WWE glory.
If you’ve followed Cody Rhodes for a while, you know he’s switched names more than once. The guy started as Cody Runnels, but eventually, he fought to get back the “Rhodes” name his dad—Dusty Rhodes—made famous. That road wasn’t exactly smooth.
Cody broke into WWE pretty young. In his early 20s, he joined their developmental system, and just days after turning 22, he wrestled his first match on “WWE Raw.” He wasn’t an instant headliner, but he showed up on TV a lot in those first years. Then, in 2014, things took a weird turn. Vince McMahon decided Cody should drop the Rhodes name and take up a new persona—Stardust. Suddenly, he’s in a sparkly getup, kind of echoing his stepbrother Dustin, who fans know as Goldust. Cody played along, but he’s called the whole Stardust thing “awful.” The storylines got more ridiculous, and finally, Cody had enough. He asked WWE to let him go in 2016, and they agreed. Only problem? He couldn’t use the Cody Rhodes name anymore—at least, not right away.
So, Cody hit the indie circuit. WWE owned “Cody Rhodes,” so he just went by Cody. Luckily, his team found a clever loophole.
Cody’s wife, Brandi, also left WWE around then. She’d worked as a ring announcer but never performed as “Brandi Rhodes,” so she was able to trademark the name herself. Just like that, Cody and Brandi Rhodes became a duo on the wrestling scene.
For a while, nobody really knew if Cody would ever get his last name back. WWE seemed unlikely to hand over the trademark, especially after Cody went and helped launch AEW. But in 2020, WWE gave it up. Cody finally snagged the rights to his name and could call himself Cody Rhodes again in AEW.
Maybe WWE was feeling generous, or maybe they just realised it was time, but it all worked out. Cody eventually left AEW and came back to WWE in 2022. Now, he’s one of their biggest stars—and the first Rhodes ever to win a world title in WWE. Pretty wild journey, honestly.
BULLY RAY AND BARON CORBIN CRITIQUE AUSTIN THEORY’S "VISION" FACTION DEBUT
Bully Ray doesn't hold back! Discover why the WWE legend thinks Austin Theory’s new "The Vision" persona feels forced and fake.
Bully Ray didn’t hold back when he talked about Austin Theory’s new attitude on WWE TV. He thinks Theory’s tough-guy act just isn’t clicking—it feels forced.
On "Busted Open," Baron Corbin (who used to go by Bishop Dyer in WWE) actually had some good things to say about Theory. He likes Theory’s look and his athletic ability, but the whole “angry face” thing? He’s not buying it. Corbin pointed out that ever since Theory was unmasked as the mystery man and joined "The Vision" on the December 29 episode of "Raw," he’s been trying a little too hard with that scowl. Bully Ray agreed completely.
Ray broke it down: “Honestly, this is a huge opportunity for Austin Theory. It’s a great faction for him. But when I watched him in the ring last night with Heyman and the crew, I couldn’t stop staring at his hands. One was clenched in a fist; the other was kind of halfway there. His face had that forced tough look—like he was trying to play the part but not really feeling it. The body language said it all: ‘I’m not comfortable; I’m just trying to look tough.’ And when you’re trying too hard in wrestling, it never looks natural.”
Ray also said that maybe he and Corbin pick up on this stuff more than most. They know what it’s like to be legit tough, so they can spot when someone’s faking it—like Theory, who looks nervous and under pressure. People used to say Theory was Vince McMahon’s next big thing, but since Triple H took over, he hasn’t really taken off. Still, with this new run alongside The Vision and Paul Heyman guiding him, things could turn around. Heyman has helped plenty of wrestlers find their groove. Theory just has to relax and stop forcing it.
