As far as the Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki) are concerned, they have made a name for themselves in the world of pro wrestling, all thanks to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Having been associated with the promotion for over a decade, they have achieved fame and success, making them more than just pro wrestlers.

While the Bellas retired from in-ring competition in 2019, Nikki made a one-off appearance post-retirement by entering the Royal Rumble last year. Nevertheless, after being associated with the company for 16 years, the sisters have decided to move on from the promotion, as they have now renewed their WWE contract.

"Today we are officially, from here on, out, the Garcia Twins, Brie and Nikki Garcia," the Bellas announced on Sirius XM show, which, from now on, would be known as The Nikki & Brie Show. The two would be beginning new chapters as mothers, entrepreneurs, hosts and executive producers, and the development has left some of their admirers upset.

Nikki explained that it was a tough call to drop the Bella identity, given that it has been associated with her for a long time and that people practically know her by the same name rather than her birth name of Garcia. Although the sisters had retired by the time the WWE Women's Tag-Team Championship was introduced, the two did win the WWE Women's Championship, with Brien winning once, while Nikki won a couple of times, with her last stint being one of the longest reigns.

While Danielson is currently signed to WWE's rival promotion, All Elite Wrestling (AEW), while Chigvintsev is a professional dancer.
