"I'm excited, we're barely scratching the surface. They keep thinking they've cracked the show but the code remains uncracked," she said.
Nicolson then laid down the platform to her next opponent Tiara Brown.
"She said she's the smoke, she said she wants the smoke... Let's get it on," she added.
Opetaia made it a double for Aussies on the card, defeating England's Jack Massey to defend his RING and IBF cruiserweight titles.
The 29-year-old won after a sixth-round stoppage when Massey's team threw in the towel.
Opetaia's record now sits at 26-0.
