Bella Twins were a professional wrestling tag team who performed on WWE and consisted of identical twin sisters Brie Bella and Nikki Bella (real names Brianna and Nicole). The Bella Twins are both former Divas Champions, with Brie becoming the first twin in WWE History to win the WWE Divas Championship once, while Nikki holding it twice. Nikki is also the longest-reigning holder of that title.
Both sisters signed with WWE in 2007 (then known as World Wrestling Entertainment) and were assigned to the farm territory Florida Championship Wrestling. As Brie Bella, Brianna was called up to the main roster in 2008. She began to wrestle and, during her matches, she switched places with her sister to win. Weeks later, it was revealed that they were twins and Nicole began to work as Nikki Bella. During the next years, they worked together as a team and won the WWE Divas Championship one time each one, but in 2012, when they were released. The Bella Twins made their return in 2013 and featured the reality show Total Divas. While in 2014 they disbanded the team and feud between them, they reunited in 2015 and Nikki won the Divas Championship for a second time. She retained the title for 301 days, the longest reign of the title. After 2015, they began to appear less in WWE shows until they announced their retirement in 2019. In 2021, they were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the 2020 class.
In November 2015, Nikki was ranked No. 1 in Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s Female 50.
