"Dancing With The Stars" season 25 premiered with a bang, featuring stars and pros who all gave their best in their first performance. One person who impressed many people was WWE star Nikki Bella, with dance pro partner Artem Chigvintsev.
Bella last appeared in the WWE ring during WWE Wrestlemania 33. After that, she announced that she would be taking time off from the ring.
Although the reason behind her wrestling hiatus wasn't revealed, fans later found out that she would be part of the new season of "Dancing With the Stars." Recently, Bella had an interview with E!News where she talked about the show, her weight loss and how her fiancé, WWE superstar John Cena, reacted to her performance.
Effects of dancing on her body
It is apparent that Bella already has a beautiful body but it appears that she improved even more because of dancing. She revealed that she already lost five pounds despite eating carbohydrates. According to her, her calories are burned because she practices dancing a lot.
Bella said that she wants to lose another five pounds while keeping her butt big. She also added that dancing is like flexing the whole time which she calls a "weird burn."
Dancing indeed had a positive effect on her body and her time practicing was all worth it, as she nailed her debut on the show. The WWE star danced to "So What" by P!nk for the premiere incorporating some wrestling moves to her dance routine. She got a score of 20 out 30, ranking number 4 which saved her from being eliminated.
Her fiance's reaction
One thing that inspires Bella is her fiance John Cena, who is very supportive. Bella said that Cena likes it when she challenges herself to do something, adding that her appearance on "Dancing With the Stars" is a turn-on for him.
Since, he couldn't be there in person, Cena merely texted her his reaction to her Monday night performance. Bella said that Cena was like "Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!" and it is apparently a positive thing.
As Bella made it to the top four, we will see more of her in "Dancing With the Stars" season 25. For sure, Cena will be sending more wows in the next nights to come!
Other dancers who had high ratings during the premiere were Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold, and Lindsey Stirling and Mark Ballas, who got 22 out of 30 points Vanessa Lachey and Maks Chmerkovskiy got 21. Victoria Arlen and Val Chmerkovskiy and Frankie Muniz and Witney Carson both got 19 points.
