Sharing her emotions about the night, Nikki said Paris felt like a dream come true.

"This was the first time experiencing Paris and what I’ve always talked about this theme of this comeback is I’m not here to prove anything to anyone but myself, and so it felt like I was finally in Paris for me. It was about me, and so I was like, I just kept having pinch me moments of like, ‘Thank you god so much for this, like for giving me the opportunity to have a title match in Paris.’ Already, that was a dream for me. That’s a check off the bucket list. I can’t believe it, and then in front of 30,000 people… I was just on cloud nine. I felt so blessed and lucky,” she said.

"Obviously, the match, like I’ll be honest. I am so proud of myself because you know, it’s been hard living where I live, hands-on mom, full-time mom. When I’m mom, I’m a single mom, and then running two companies and you know, having all the things, but also making my comeback priority too, but nothing will be more priority than Matteo… It’s like, you just, you know, you go out and you do it, and I was so proud of myself, and it was really cute because when I came back, they all were clapping for me, and it was really special, and obviously, there are two spots bummed about. I can say the volley kick, you know, and you know what? That stuff happens,” she added.
