Nikki Bella Credits MMA Fighter w/ Submission Hold

Despite speculation that it might have been influenced by her boyfriend John Cena’s STF submission move, Nikki Bella actually credited MMA fighter turned pro wrestler Shayna Baszler with her new ‘Fearless Lock’ maneuver.

Bella posted the following Tweet, giving credit to Baszler for helping her with the move; Nikki used the move to make Natalya tap out on last night’s Smackdown, earning her the position of Team Captain at Survivor Series.

Thank you @QoSBaszler for coaching me & teaching me so much! #FearlessLock would be nothing without you! N #SDLive
