Nikki & Brie Bella

Posted April 14, 200916 yr

Brianna and Nicole Garcia[1] (born on November 21, 1983)[1] are twin sisters, who are also a professional wrestling tag team under the ring names Brie and Nikki Bella. They are currently working for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on the SmackDown brand.

Before being promoted to the main WWE roster, the Bella Twins wrestled with Florida Championship Wrestling, where they were trained by Tom Prichard, and mainly competed in tag team competition. Brie made her debut on the SmackDown roster in August 2008; she debuted first, and as part of her in-ring persona, would disappear under the ring during matches, emerging revived. Eventually, however, it was discovered that she was in fact switching places with her twin, Nikki, under the ring in order to gain an advantage. After that revelation, they competed in tag team matches. In November 2008, an angle was written in which the Bella Twins developed an on-screen relationship with The Colóns (Carlito and Primo) accompanying them to the ring. Soon after, they began an angle with John Morrison and The Miz, which quickly led to the Bellas disbanding as a team, due to one being infatuated with the Colóns and the other with Morrison and The Miz.

Brianna and Nicole were born in San Diego, California and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona in a family of Mexican and Italian descent.[3] They played soccer up until college, when they started modeling, acting, and doing promotional work.[2][3] They made their first national TV appearance on the Fox reality show Meet My Folks.[4] Following this appearance, Brianna and Nicole were hired to be the World Cup Twins for Budweiser and were photographed holding the World Cup trophy.[5] They then participated in the 2006 "International Body Doubles twins search".[6] They participated in the 2006 WWE Diva Search but did not make the cut
