WWE star Nattie Neidhart appeared on today’s episode of
SiriusXM’s The Nikki and Brie Show.
During the episode, Nattie Neidhart discusses her wrestling
roots, her husband TJ Wilson’s support and his behind-the-
scenes role in shaping the WWE women’s revolution, Chris
Bey’s recovery journey, getting catfished by a fake Jason
Mamoa and much more. Nikki Garcia also reveals how she is
preparing for her WWE comeback.
Nattie Neidhart reveals that TJ Wilson barely made it to her
Bloodsport match (6:36-7:24)
Brie Garcia: Was he there at your match last night?
Nattie Neidhart: Yes. He was in a production meeting. They
were doing a meeting for the weekend, for the events for
WrestleMania, and so they had one more meeting and TJ was
like, “I’ve got 20 minutes,” and I was on in 20 minutes. He
was still in the meeting. He had literally 20 minutes to
make it to my fight and I was so worried that he wasn’t
gonna come and right before I walked through the curtain, TJ
was there.
Nikki Garcia: Oh my gosh. I have chills. Where were the
cameras for that?
Nattie Neidhart: I gave him the biggest hug and then as soon
as I hugged him, my music hit. I was so scared. I had
already, in my mind, I was like, “He’ll just watch some
footage and it’ll be fine. He doesn’t need to be here for
it,” and then he came. I was so happy. He left the meeting.
The meeting was still going on. He was like, “Sorry guys.
I’ve gotta go.”
Nattie Neidhart discusses Chris Bey’s recovery & thinks he
will wrestle again (20:18-21:00)
Nattie Neidhart: You guys know about Chris Bey and you know
about everything that Chris has been going through with his
injury. We met up with Chris Bey and his girlfriend the
other day and we have been keeping in touch with Chris
because TJ, when he broke his neck, it was just, you need
all the love and support you can get and you need it every
single day, and so we met up with Chris and Chris, you know,
it was so cool because TJ was able to bring his story to
Chris and Chris is walking. Chris was paralyzed from the
neck down and, you know, Chris shared all of that and he’s
been very open about like he couldn’t move and now he’s
walking and now I have full faith in Chris Bey that he will
wrestle again. I think he will. I think he absolutely will.
Nattie Neidhart says she’s in the best shape she’s ever been
in her life (23:17-23:52)
Nattie Neidhart: I just feel so good. I wish, it’s funny
because people say to me, “When are you gonna hang it up?”
I’m gonna hang it up when Randy Orton hangs it up, when Rey
Mysterio hangs it up. When I look at Randy, Randy Orton is
in the best shape of his life. Rey Mysterio is in the best
shape of his life. What I love right now in WWE is that
we’re not letting a number define what people can do and
that’s the great thing about this era. It’s like, if you are
good at what you do, you go in there and rock it. I actually
feel like I’m in better shape than I’ve ever been in my life
and knock on wood, I wake up every morning pain free.
Nikki Garcia reveals how she is preparing for WWE comeback
(35:56-36:29)
Nikki Garcia: I’ve been slowly getting back into lifting
heavier to prep for this comeback and, you know, I told
myself that exactly. A little bit at a time, Nicole. You’re
not gonna get super strong overnight and I’ve been doing
that, and I had texted my sister and my mom last week and
I’m like, “I went up 15 pounds.” I was so happy, and I
didn’t even realize it, but I was just doing a little bit at
a time, and then all of a sudden, here I am, and it feels
just so good and that’s why I just stick with it. Don’t over
expect. Just do a little bit.
