It appears that another WWE star has been erased and is not allowed to be mentioned on WWE programming...at least when it comes to promoting another show.
Tonight during Monday Night Raw, Michael Cole read the promo to promote Barmageddon that airs on the USA Network at 11pm Eastern time. In the commercials that air on USA, Nikki Bella is shown prominently since she is the co-host. However, during the promo copy read by Cole, there was no mention of Nikki and he only mentioned Blake Shelton as the host.
For what it's worth, Nikki has been critical of WWE after her contract expired because she is no longer allowed to use the "Bella" name that is trademarked by WWE and things did not end well between both sides at the end of Nikki and Brie's contract. Nikki has also been critical of the way the women have been booked by the company. Since that time, the company has done a lot to improve the booking of the women's roster.
In March of this year, Nikki and Brie made it official that their WWE contracts expired and they are now using their real last name (Garcia) for all projects. Click here for complete WWE Monday Night Raw results.
