If you were thinking that the feud between Nikki and Brie Bella was starting to feel like an episode of The Jerry Springer Show, you were right on. The longtime talk show host is headed to WWE Raw on Sept. 8.
Jerry Lawler couldn't quell the bad blood between the warring twin sisters, so WWE is bringing in another Jerry, one who is better versed at this kind of thing.
Springer has hosted his famous talk show since 1991. During its 20 years-plus run, Springer has been witness to more catfighting, splintering families and emotional eruptions than just about anybody.
In 2010, Springer hosted a segment centered around Kelly Kelly trying to find out who her baby daddy was. The entrance ramp then became a conveyor belt of WWE's oddest characters.
The unibrowed Santino Marella, the immense Great Khali and Hornswoggle (a little person wearing an army helmet) weren't all that different from the absurdity Springer saw on his own show. The host fit right in with the bizarre world that is the WWE.
Springer's show shares many of the elements that are the cornerstones of WWE's programming—controversy, ridiculousness and haymakers being thrown on-air. It's no surprise, then, that Christopher Sterling, a media scholar at George Washington University, said that Springer's show is "like wrestling," per the Gettysburg Times.
On Monday's Raw, he will step between Nikki and Brie, who have been taking swipes at each other since Nikki turned on her own sister at SummerSlam.
PWInsider shared a press release from WWE where Springer said that he will, "conduct an intervention with the Bella Twins in an effort to achieve sibling harmony." His resume says it's more likely we see more hair pulling than hugs, though.
