At first she was acting all cold and heartless about it then that almost immediately turned into some weird scared look, and then by the time she was going up the ramp it looked like she was about to cry. She's the worst.
I re-watched the end of the Edge-Jeff Hardy match from Royal Rumble 2009 when Matt turned on Jeff. And Matt isn't a guy known for subtlety and facial expressions. But the look on his face after her hit Jeff was this look of envy mixed with disdain and it was perfect. Nikki should've been watching that clip on a loop for the last week trying to copy it exactly.
From a bigger picture POV, this wasn't a huge shock but its why I was really hoping it wouldn't happen. She's not good, and Brie's really not that much better. Brie did cut by far her best promo in that backstage segment at Summerslam, but I really wonder how much of that was because it was probably pre-taped. These two are simply not good enough to be in a main event level story and it really disappointed me that they didn't just do this as simply as possible and have Brie win and then she just goes back to being just another female wrestler.
