Nikki Bella Was Furious With Current WWE Star For Making Her Look Stupid

A current WWE star recalled an incident involving Nikki Bella that left her furious.

Sheamus has been with the World Wrestling Entertainment since 2009. Some of his notable rivalries are with John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, and Drew McIntyre.

Currently, he is involved in a feud with his former tag team partner Rusev, who returned to the Stamford promotion in April 2025.

Sheamus Left Nikki Bella Furious After Not Recognizing Her Famous Friend

Nikki Bella was already a household name when Sheamus debuted for the company.

During a recent appearance on Chris Van Vliet‘s podcast, the Celtic Warrior narrated an incident that left a lasting impression on the former Divas Champion, although not a positive one.

Here’s another one. Nikki Bella got really mad at me one time. We’re in FCW, Nikki Bella comes in, and as this lad walks in.

He’s a baseball player for the Yankees. Ok, grand. I’m probably in the country about eight months, and we’re standing in the facility, in the ring, and she goes, ‘This guy is my friend.’ I said, ‘Hey, I’m Sheamus.’ He goes, ‘Nice to meet you.’ I said, ‘And you are?’ He goes, ‘Derek.’ ‘Oh, nice to meet you, Derek, nice to meet you, Derek.’ So he walks off.

Nikki comes up to me, she goes, ‘Oh, my God Sheamus. Why did you do that?’ I said, ‘Do what?’ She goes, ‘Why did you say “what’s your name?”‘ Because that’s what you do when you meet someone for the first time, you ask them what your name is. And she goes, ‘That’s Derek Jeter from the Yankees!’ And I said, ‘All right, yeah, grand, cool. How am I supposed to know that?’ She was furious with me because she said I made her look stupid.

I don’t know who he was. I don’t know anything about baseball. I saw a Babe Ruth movie when I was 12 with John Goodman. That was basically it. And Field of Dreams with Kevin Costner, I saw that one as well, but she lashed out for no reason. [Insight with Chris Van Vliet]
