I’m in trouble.’ And then during this and this other movie I did I was like, ‘Yeah, I definitely gotta x-ray that thing,’ and we were in trouble.”

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor After 16 years with WWE, the sisters professionally known as the Bella Twins announced that they are leaving the wrestling entertainment company — and that they are going back to their real names, Brie and Nikki Garcia. “Today we are officially from here on out the Garcia Twins, Brie and Nikki Garcia,” Nikki said Tuesday in the new episode of their SiriusXM show, which is now called “The Nikki & Brie Show.” The twin sisters signed with WWE in 2007 and made their debut that year as The Bella Twins. WWE declined to comment. In the episode, Nikki acknowledged that dropping the Bella Twins identities was a difficult decision but that the sisters felt it was time to move on to focus on a “new chapter” as moms, entrepreneurs, podcast hosts and executive producers. She also noted that they will be turning 40 later this year (their birthday is Nov. 21). When their WWE contract came up for renewal, according to Nikki, they “just knew it was time to head into this next chapter,” per People, which first reported the news.
