In case you missed the season finale of 'Total Bellas' of E! Sunday night, Nikki Bella announced that she was retiring from the WWE.

Nikki has spent so much time in the ring and ready to go in a different direction that doesn't include wrestling.

Having been in the ring for 12 years, Nikki made her WWE debut in 2007, her SmackDown debut in 2008 with her twin sister, Brie Bella, and has won the Divas Championship twice.

Talking to her family about it on the show Sunday, Nikki said that the traveling was becoming too much for her and that she was ready to hang up her jersey.

“Being on the European tour, I’ve had a lot of time to think. Just how my body feels, being away from my company, how time consuming this is. It’s making me realize I am ready to fold the jersey and put it away. I’m ready to put the kicks aside and I’m ready to take Nikki Bella into a different direction.”

It's not like Nikki is going to be sitting at home doing nothing with her retirement. 

Nikki has her other businesses to focus on, which include a clothing line, wine label and a new podcast with sister Brie.

Maybe she is making some more time to get back together with John Cena..? Definitely not, but let's start that rumor!
