Nikki and Brie Bella have announced their retirement from WWE — as well as a major name change.
The twin sisters announced the decision Tuesday, telling fans that they will now be known by their birth surnames, Nikki and Brie Garcia – or as The Garcia Twins.“We’re going to be 40 in November, we’re mothers, we’re entrepreneurs, we’re executive producers, we’re starring now, we’re hosting shows.”
The twins explained that when their contract with WWE came to an end, the pair “just knew it was time to head into this next chapter.”“I just want to thank Brie Bella. The character, the name, all of it that I have been the last 16, 17 years… I am so excited to close that chapter on Brie Bella, put that book to the side and open up a new one and see what Brie Garcia’s going to do next.”
On Instagram, the pair shared a video of themselves opening a huge door and entering a building with the caption “Hi I’m Nikki Garcia, Hi I’m Brie Garcia. And we’re the Garcia Twins. 👯♀️ Welcome to our next chapter!"Three months later, Nikki famously replaced her sister in the ring, which was later dubbed “Twin Magic.”Meanwhile, the pair inked a major deal for the hit show “Total Divas,” during which Nikki earned her stripes as the longest-reigning WWE Divas Champion.
Nikki and Brie later starred in their own spinoff, titled “Total Bellas,” which ran for six seasons between 2016 and 2021 and the pair was inducted into the WWE’s Hall of Fame in 2020.
