The Fanatics Fest had a lot of memorable moments from top to bottom, featuring WWE Superstars and other pro athletes. Nikki Bella was also part of the event but it appears former NFL player Cam Newton bailed on her before the Fanatics Games.

While speaking on the Nikki and Brie Show, Nikki Bella explained that this year marked the launch of the Fanatics Games, where 50 fans competed against 50 pro athletes and celebrities from around the world. Participants had the chance to win a million dollars in prizes, along with Ferraris. Unfortunately, she didn’t win any of the prizes or the car.

“This year, they were launching the Fanatics Games, so you had 50 fans going up against 50 pro athletes and celebrities. And these are people from all over the world. You had a chance of winning a million dollars in prizes, as well as some Ferraris. I sadly did not win any of the prizes or the Ferrari.”

Nikki Bella revealed that Cam Newton was supposed to be her partner throughout the event. While everyone else had someone to play off of, despite still competing individually, Cam was late and didn’t participate in any of the games with her as he bailed on her. Nikki ended up doing all the games alone, which made her one of the few without a partner.

“So Cam Newton was supposed to be with me the whole time. Everyone was partnered up with someone—not that you were on a team, you were still going against each other—but they were filming stuff and getting content. So Cam Newton was my person, and he was late and never did any of the games with me. I was one of the only people that had to do all the games by myself. Everyone was playing off people. So Cam, thanks—you left me on my own. Which is fine, well, that…”

Although she didn’t see him in person, Nikki Bella mentioned that she saw photos of Cam Newton later and confirmed he was definitely there, looking sharp and dressed to the nines.

“He showed up—I saw photos—but I didn’t see him. But he was, I mean, obviously we would know… dressed to the nines.”

Even though Nikki Bella had to compete alone, she stayed positive throughout the Fanatics Games. As one of the only people without a partner, she took on every challenge by herself and proudly represented the WWE Universe but it’s still a shame Cam Newton didn’t try to help her at all.
