Nikki is a 33-year-old WWE wrestler and Total Divas star, who also calls herself a philanthropist, empowered woman, executive producer, YouTuber, and motivational speaker.
Nikki is partnered with pro dancer Artem Chigvintsev for the current Dancing with the Stars edition. When Nikki made her show debut earlier this week, she and Artem placed fourth on the leaderboard after receiving 20 out of 30 possible points for their tango routine from the judges.
Nikki, formally known as Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace, definitely has rhythm and enjoys a good body-slam every once in a while.
Hopefully Artem will have some ice packs handy in rehearsal! Curious to learn more about Nikki?
