Nikki Bella Details Being Bombarded With Explicit DMs After Viral Moment with Deon Sanders

Deion Sanders might’ve just helped Nikki Bella “get her groove back”—at least, that’s what Nikki claims after revealing what went down in her DMs following their flirty Super Bowl exchange last year.

During the February 8, 2026 episode of The Nikki and Brie Show, the WWE Hall of Famer revisited her viral moment with Coach Prime, where she declared her favorite color was “dark chocolate.” The comment—which left Sanders stunned—led to a lot more than laughs.

“And you could only have seen my DMs after that,” Nikki told Deion during their on-air reunion. Naturally, Sanders asked for specifics. “Was it popping? Okay, give me an example.”

Brie chimed in: “You had to see all the pictures sent to her.” And Nikki didn’t hold back: “Oh, like d*** pics?” Sanders, clearly amused, replied: “I was thinking it, but she said it.”
But it wasn’t just NSFW content flooding her inbox—some messages were trying to shoot a respectful shot.

“There were some, like, respectfully, that were slid in and they’re like, ‘Oh, so you like dark chocolate?’ They go, ‘Can I?’”

Nikki confirmed she had a “whole lineup” and admitted she even scoped out a few potential suitors.

“There were a couple that had potential… There were some that I was waiting for. I’m like, ‘Did you not see the Bible? Did you not see what happened? Did you not see what I like?’”

And just when you thought it was over, she made sure to thank the man himself: “Thank you. You kind of helped me get my groove back.”

Bella noted that some of the more “verified” accounts kept it classy—no unsolicited pics, just solid flirting and confidence. Deion ultimately seemed pleased: “So you’re saying the brothers were checking in.”

So it’s evident that one major moment turned into a whole new dating pool for Nikki Bella—and a career-high for Coach Prime’s flirt game.
