Brianna Monique Garcia[4] and Nicole Stephanie Garcia[1][5] (born on November 21, 1983)[1] are American twin models and professional wrestlers. The twins are a professional wrestling tag team under the ring names Brie Bella and Nikki Bella, collectively referred to as The Bella Twins, and work for World Wrestling Entertainment on the Raw brand.[6]

Before being promoted to the main World Wrestling Entertainment roster, The Bella Twins wrestled with Florida Championship Wrestling, where they were trained by Tom Prichard, and mainly competed in tag team competition. Brie made her debut on SmackDown in August 2008; she debuted first, and as part of her in-ring persona, would disappear under the ring during matches, emerging revived. Eventually, however, it was discovered she was switching places with her twin, Nikki, under the ring in order to gain an advantage. They then competed in tag team matches. Beginning in November 2008, an angle was written in which The Bella Twins developed an on-screen relationship with The Colóns (Carlito and Primo). They were later involved in storyline romances with John Morrison (John Hennigan) and The Miz in early 2009 and Daniel Bryan (Brian Danielson) in 2010. In April 2011, Brie won the World Wrestling Entertainment Divas Championship.
