OnAmerica’s Got Talent: Extreme, contestants will attempt stunts that would scare even the toughest of judges, including former WWE starNikki Bella.
During an appearance on thePEOPLE Every Daypodcast, the 38-year-old said that despite being known for being tough, she’s actually “terrified of heights.” But if pushed, she told host Janine Rubenstein, she thinks she could come up with an impressive stunt.
“I would maybe do something that went high, but then I think motorcycles and dirt bikes are super badass,” she continued. “And then you throw fire and pyro[tecnics] with it.”

No matter the act, Bella said professional motorsports competitor and stunt expert Travis Pastrana, who is also joining this special season ofAGTas a judge, would “for sure” be her pick to be her “partner in crime.”
“He’s the king of extreme, and I trust him,” Bella explained.
“Even thoughhe’s had a lot of surgeries and has broken a lot of bonesstill,” she jokingly added.

Earlier in the interview, Bella said fans will have a chance to see her test the limits of her fear on the upcoming season ofAGT.
“You will see throughout this season, [they] pushed me there on one of the acts,” she revealed. “I went up high and I never thought I’d go that high, ever in my life.”

Bella also said some contestants took the phrase “the sky is the limit” to all-new heights.
“We are out here and people are doing incredible, extraordinary things. I mean,truly life or death,” she told Rubenstein. “And we just kind of bring extreme in what you see there, if it’s [from the] sports industry [or] anything you see from the circus.”
“It’s the imagination,” she said. “It’s coming to life on our show.”
