Natalya holds back when training with Nikki Bella

It has been quite a year or two for Nikki Bella.

She went from being the longest reigning Diva's champion in WWE history to having to come back from career threatening neck surgery.

In the video above, WWE cameras capture just how difficult getting over her injury has been for Nikki and the rest of the women's roster.

In a clip from the upcoming series of Total Divas, Bella is seen training with an MMA fighter, preparing to practice moves including neckbreakers.

But the impact of seeing Nikki potentially in pain again is too much for Natalya, who refuses to put her through her paces.

"All of this was taken away from me and I have a chance to get it all back and actually decide when my last day is," Bella tells Natalya.

"I want that and I won't let anyone stop that."
