Nikki Blackheart Confirms Reina Volcan As WWE Name
Nikki Blackheart confirms her name change.
Fans saw the debut of an unidentified mystery woman on the June 30 episode of NXT as she attacked Tatum Paxley to close the show.
While commentary didn’t call her by her name, many fans knew it was Nikki Blackheart. As is the case with a number of NXT debuts, the previous name is withheld so their WWE name can be revealed later
On Tuesday, Nikki confirmed that Reina Volcan is her NXT name.
Nikki Blackheart, thank you for one hell of a ride.
When I first chose the name, I remember asking my coach Gangrel what he thought. He had been part of The Blackhearts in Japan, so his opinion meant a lot. He didn’t hesitate. He told me, “Do it.” Then said, “Just make sure you represent it well.”
From that day on, I did my best to live up to those words.
My gear girl, Chelsea, made me this top a while ago, and I could never find the “perfect” time to wear it. Turns out, today was the perfect time. 🖤
Thank you to everyone who helped put Nikki Blackheart on the map, and for all the love and support you’ve shown me throughout this journey. I’ll never take it for granted.
On to new beginnings.
P.S. It’s not “Queen Volcano” or “Queen of Volcanoes.” It’s Reina Volcán… not everything needs to be translated.
