Nikki Bella Tells Insecure Men to Get a Life After Backlash Over Original Four Horsewomen Remark

Nikki Bella is doubling down after her “Four Horsewomen” comment blew up— and she’s going straight at the backlash and calling out insecure men.

After posting an Instagram photo with Brie Bella and Paige and captioning it “The Original Four Horsewomen,” Nikki immediately got pushback from Bayley — and the debate took off online. Now, speaking on the Nikki & Brie Show, Nikki is explaining exactly what she meant and why she thinks people completely missed the point.

Before addressing the criticism, Nikki made it clear the caption wasn’t meant to rewrite WWE history. Instead, she said it was something fans had been joking about online for years — and she simply leaned into it for fun.

“You know, so we posted that. Forever on social media, people have talked about the Four Horsewomen, and they always talked about ‘my original Four Horsewomen’—AJ, Paige, Brie, and I. So we all thought it’d be funny to play into that, like totally being funny, which it would be fun to have a storyline with them down the line—like us four against the other four. So we’re like, oh my God, let’s have some fun.”

Once that explanation was out there, Nikki didn’t hold back on how she feels about the reaction itself. She shifted from explaining the joke to going directly at the people criticizing it, saying the backlash says more about them than it does about the post.

“But to hear the haters right now—you just love to b****. Please get baptized, please do something. You all need to get your soul cleansed. Because online, like I don’t know how—you need to look in the mirror. It’s the same, and I’m sorry, the majority of them are dudes. They are just those angry men that just hate life, wanna cut everyone down, especially women, because they’re pu**ies who can’t do it to men, so they love to do it to women, so it cracks me up.”

She kept that same energy when talking about how constant the criticism feels, questioning how much time people spend reacting to things like this and dismissing the idea that those voices represent the entire audience.

“So I’m like, go get a life, go get a job. I don’t know how you’re always on Twitter. They think they’re the only people who watch wrestling. Like, you guys are the tiniest percentage.”

Nikki also pointed out that not all reactions were negative, saying a large group of fans actually understood the joke and pushed back against the criticism — something she clearly appreciated.

“But the women fans went after them—they go, ‘No, we’ve all been waiting for this moment, so bye.’ They’re going after them so hard because we knew the group online who got that, and we all had fun with it and we loved it. It was such a fun moment.”

So, Nikki Bella isn’t apologizing and isn’t walking anything back. From her perspective, the post was meant to be playful, the reaction was over the top, and the whole thing turned into something way bigger than it ever needed to be.
