I'm Iffy On Nikki Bella's Pitch For Her Next Role In WWE, But Have Another Suggestion

Pearce and Aldis are great GMs, and let's not forget some of the more memorable ones of the past, like Vicky Guerrero, Teddy Long, and Stephanie McMahon. Then many other former superstars played the role, and it was a largely forgettable experience. We don't look fondly on Stone Cold Steve Austin's time as GM, or even Paige's tenure, as a big success.

When I envision watching Nikki Bella as a GM on Monday Night Raw with my Netflix subscription, I imagine she'd fall in the latter category of GMs as opposed to the elite examples. I think she's better served working closer to talent, or at least one specific talent if she wants to stay involved.

Nikki Bella Would Make A Great Manager For A Young Star

Nikki Bella is a legend in women's wrestling, with a massive platform and a dedicated following of wrestling fans. Sticking her behind an up-and-coming WWE superstar would give them an immense push in popularity, and I think that's what she should consider when thinking about the WWE post-retirement.

While she may not make the shortlist of most impactful women in wrestling, at least yet, her impact as an influencer cannot be denied. Any young WWE performer would be grateful to have her as a manager, without even mentioning the amount of guidance she'd be able to provide in terms of training, cutting promos, and other parts of the business.

If she were to be a General Manager, she would lose the ability to do that. While a GM role could give her more television time than we've seen in recent years, I think the benefits of her working as a manager are undeniable, and she should consider that as she begins to think about the end of her wrestling career.

For now, Nikki Bella is still planning to wrestle this year, and I can't wait to see her back in action. In the meantime, I'll be on the lookout for her future appearances in the WWE and see if she may be angling for that GM role.
