Indeed, Simon Cowell has years of experience judging contestants on America’s Got Talent stage. So, though Nikki Bella has been inside the wrestling square, she was also afraid to meet the iconic judge. “Here I’m going to be a judge with Simon Cowell, my first time ever, it was super intimidating, and then he was so chill and cool and like motivating and I was like, ‘this is amazing,’ and then we all just clicked and it was so much fun the whole time,” Nikki Bella added.

The WWE Hall of Famer went on to add that Simon Cowell is a very honest individual. Nikki mentioned, “His honesty, I would laugh, and I’d be like, ‘I was thinking that, but I wasn’t going to say it.’”
