The Garcia Twins, both Nikki and Brie, recently spoke on the Not Skinny, But Not Fat Podcast. In addition to confirming they plan on wrestling again in the future, likely with another company, the twins comment on their exit from WWE.
Nikki explains that a conversation wasn’t even had with them on continuing with the Bella surname. They confirmed they were going by their real last maiden names of Garcia moving forward back in March.
“We thought ‘oh maybe there’ll be a conversation because we have such a huge brand & we were actually making WWE a lot of money’, so we actually thought there was gonna be a conversation of like ‘ok if you guys aren’t re-signing let’s talk about the name, maybe when you do future projects we take a percentage, you keep the name.’ I’ll be honest I got a lawyer letter, 4-hours before my contract was ending they were ceasing it all, so I keep that letter in my office so I could always see it & just know that as I enter this new chapter, that it’s like I get to see what wasn’t even talked about of something that I built for 20-years but know that I have the power as a Woman to build something else for the next 20-years.”
The Bella Twins were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021.
