-Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace was born in San Diego, California, sixteen minutes apart from her twin sister Brianna. She has been known by her middle name since high school. The twins were raised in Scottsdale, Arizona and were accomplished soccer players in high school and college, before breaking into the world of modelling in their early 20s.
-After unsuccessfully auditioning for WWE’s Diva Search in 2006, the twins were signed to developmental contracts by the company in June 2007. They were sent to train at the Florida Championship Wrestling territory, where they made their wrestling debuts later in the year under the names Bri Bella and Nicole Bella.
-Brianna debuted on the main roster in August 2008, with the spelling of her ring name altered to Brie Bella. Her early matches saw her disappear under the ring mid-match, only to emerge rejuvenated and pull off a victory. In November Nicole (now known as Nikki) was officially introduced for the first time when Brie was discovered to be switching places with her. The switch spot became a frequent fixture of the Bella Twins’ matches in their first WWE run, and was dubbed ’Twin Magic.’
-The Bellas became popular choices for various WWE media appearances, and were often seen by side side of Monday Night Raw’s various celebrity guest hosts in 2009 and 2010.
-In April 2012, Nikki defeated Beth Phoenix in a Lumberjill match on Monday Night Raw to win her first Divas championship. Her reign ended just a week later when she lost to the returning Layla at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view, after which the Bellas were fired in storyline.
-In actuality, the twins had already decided to part company with WWE via mutual consent, but re-signed in March the following year. Upon their return, Brie and Nikki were announced as cast members for WWE and the E! network’s new reality show ’Total Divas,’ which documented their real-life romantic relationships with WWE stars Daniel Bryan and John Cena respectively. The show premiered in July 2013.
-At the Summerslam pay-per-view in August 2014, Nikki turned heel during Brie’s match with Stephanie McMahon, attacking her sister and helping McMahon win in exchange for a Divas title shot at Night of Champions, where she was unsuccessful in a triple threat also involving Paige and the champion AJ Lee.
-The Bellas faced off at Hell in a Cell, where Nikki was victorious and Brie became her personal assistant for 30 days per the pre-agreed stipulation. Brie remained voluntarily aligned with her sister following this period, turning heel by helping Nikki win the Divas title from AJ at Survivor Series when she unexpectedly kissed AJ, in a call-back to the fateful kiss AJ delivered to Bryan prior to his World Heavyweight title loss at Wrestlemania 28 two years earlier.
- Thanks largely due to repeated interference on the part of Brie and new Team Bella member Alicia Fox, Nikki held the title for a record 301 days, eventually losing to Charlotte at Night of Champions in September 2015, in a match where she would still lose the belt if disqualified. |
