Actress-wrestler Nikki Bella has announced her retirement from the WWE. On the show Total Bellas, Bella announced her decision saying she wanted to explore some new arena in her life, reports foxnews.com. "

The (European) tour was good but I feel like I'm too old for the travel, the travel was really rough. I was like, 'Why am I doing this? I don't feel good.' The girls are doing amazing things over there. I really am ready to hang up the jersey, I can say it fully," Nikki said.
