Nikki Garcia Disappointed By Omission From WWE Raw Read-Out For 'Barmageddon'

Nikki Garcia, who performed in WWE as Nikki Bella, has admitted she was disappointed by WWE omitting her from a read-out for 'Barmageddon' during Monday Night Raw.

'Barmageddon' was promoted on the November 13 episode of WWE Raw as the show airs on the USA Network. Garcia is a host on the show alongside Blake Shelton and Carson Daly but Michael Cole failed to mention the former WWE Divas Champion during a recent read-out for the series.

Garcia addressed the omission while speaking with NBC Chicago:

"It's sad. Like, there's obviously a lot of things I could say about that. I think more than anything, it's disappointing. I worked there for 16 years, and I helped pave the way for them. Not only that they've always been family to me, and no matter what, walking away, for me, it wasn't malicious. I'm at a point in my life. I wanted to do things without hearing the word 'no,' and it was just strictly business. Maybe there were some personal things that had happened over the years that also pushed me towards that, but I think more than anything, it's disappointing because I don't see it happen with the men," Garcia stated.

"For some reason with the women who are outspoken and we've seen this with the women in the past, they just want to ban us. I think it's sad because we all look at it as family and so, 'Okay, they don't want to say my name, that's fine.' Barmageddon got a shout-out and so did Blake Shelton, so that makes me happy. So many people at WWE will always be family to me, and I communicate with so many of them. The WWE Universe will always be family to me, as well as my Bella Army. So I'm just so appreciative for all of you and all of us that can still have the memories."

Nikki and twin sister Brie Garcia departed WWE in March 2023 after 16 years with the company. They switched to 'Garcia' as WWE holds the rights to all Bella-related trademarks.

The Garcia twins have since revealed why they left WWE.
