WWE Legend Nikki Bella Tells Fans How She Wants To Be Remembered

Wrestling legend Nikki Bella knows how she wants her fans to remember her.

The iconic longtime wrestling star is opening up about how she wants to be remembered. Bella knows that everyone uses different mindsets when it comes to remembering their greatest athletes of all-time. Some use things like Mt. Rushmore while others use things like top 10 lists.

But for Bella, she doesn't want any of that.

Instead, Bella wants to be remembered in a different way.

Bella told Fox News Digital that she wants to be remembered for her voice.

Wrestling legend speaks out

"I would love definitely to be remembered as fearless, as someone who wasn't scared to use her voice, someone who wasn't scared to pave the ways, someone who wasn't scared to stand up to all the hate, who can still be her even when people try to tear you down," Bella said. "What I've realized, and this is in any industry and this is throughout time, it's never easy to be first or be the loudest about something. And there's so many people who helped pave the way before us but when you're at the forefront or when you're at the face of that, you take on everything that comes with it – hate, love, support, everything.

"I think that's where I truly live up to being ‘Fearless' Nikki, I just don't stop. Even when I'm not at my best or when I'm at my greatest. I hope at the end of the day, people can look back and respect that too – even the ones who can be so disrespectful. They see things in such a different way and they really just don't know. I hope to be remembered as that over anything."

Bella knows that's not how everyone will do it, though.

"I get some people get hooked on champion numbers, like 13 time, 10 time, five time, you know, for me, it's always been about impact," she told Fox News Digital. "And if the people tuning in, I was able to change some people's lives. Maybe they were being raised in a not great home and I gave them the ability to be fearless and to use their voice to know they could be someone great one day, to me, that's being a champion and that's what I'd love to be more than anything. I look at my Bella Army and they are my true accomplishment.

"That is better than any championship I could ever win, ever."

Bella knows where she wants to stand, that's clear.
