Nikki Bella isn’t tip‑toeing back—she’s striding in, full of confidence. The iconic half of the Bella Twins and WWE Hall of Famer is gearing up for a high-profi...
It came from the source. It had been previously reported that the Bella Twins were officially leaving WWE for good and had rebranded themselves as Nikki and Brie Garcia. One of the main questions that has risen is the wrestling future, particularly when it comes to AEW. That question was answered today on Instagram Live, where Nikki confirmed that her and her sister would not be going to AEW. You can see a clip of that below: Nikki and Brie Garcia are not going to AEW. pic.twitter.com/PkzCosyUER — Wrestling News (@WrestlingNewsCo) March 15, 2023 Garcia also mentioned that there was fan speculation that things have soured between both them and WWE. She said it seems that way because of “everything in the past” but there are no hard feelings. Editor’s Opinion: I’ll take the Garcias at their word, as they have absolutely no reason to taint their legacy by going to AEW. That being said, it wouldn’t surprise me if Tony Khan threw a bunch of money at them to get a major pop for one nig..
Time to move on. Nikki and Brie Bella announced on their Sirius XM show, The Nikki & Brie Show, that they are officially leaving WWE and will now be known as ‘The Garcia Twins’. They also posted the following video on Twitter: Hi I’m Nikki Garcia, Hi I’m Brie Garcia. And we’re the Garcia Twins. ???? Welcome to our next chapter! ?????????????? pic.twitter.com/w6GQM0P7Zi — Nikki & Brie (@NikkiAndBrie) March 14, 2023 From People Magazine, who exclusively broke the story: Nikki further explained that dropping their Bella identities was difficult, but the women feel it’s time to embrace a “new chapter” in their lives. “We’re going to be 40 in November,” Nikki explains, adding that they’re both now enjoying life as mothers, entrepreneurs, hosts, and executive producers. When it was time for them to renew their contract with the WWE, Nikki explains that they “just knew it was time to head into this next chapter.” Brie adds she’s “so excited to close the chapter on Brie Bella” and open ..
They aren’t happy. This week’s WWE Monday Night Raw was a special edition focusing on thirty years of the show. That is the kind of milestone that no wrestling show reaches, especially not as one of the biggest wrestling shows in the world throughout its run. It meant something to be associated with the show and now two legends are taking issue with something that wasn’t involved. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Dem Boy? Update On Mark Briscoe Possibly Appearing On AEW TV The Bella Twins had been previously advertised for Raw XXX but were later removed and ultimately did not appear on the show. The Twins recorded a live Instagram stream after the show was over, talking about how there was little mention of the Women’s Revolution and saying WWE could not mention Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks) because she is too popular. There is no word on why the two were pulled from the show. They might have a point. Check out what the Twins said, plus their time on Monday Night Raw: [This post contains video..
She’s back! Tonight on Smackdown, Sarah Logan made her return to WWE after being away from regular programming for over two years. Logan had been teased in recent vignettes with The Viking Raiders, and officially allied herself with the team on tonight’s show. You can see a clip of her return below: [This post contains video, click to play] After The Viking Raiders attacked both Hit Row and Legado Del Fantasma prior to their match against each other, Logan made her way down the entrance ramp and went after B Fab. She would then officially join the Radiers to end the segment. Logan was released from her WWE contract on April 15, 2020, due to budget cuts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that was beginning to emerge. She made a surprise return at the 2022 Royal Rumble earlier this year, entering the match at number 25 and briefly reuniting with Liv Morgan. She lasted only 43 seconds, until she was eliminated by The Bella Twins. Editor’s Opinion: Yes! This is awesome! I have alw..
He really is gone. Last month, Vince McMahon officially retired from WWE in one of the biggest stories in wrestling history. McMahon led the company for the better part of forty years and has been the driving force behind everything WWE has done. Such a change is going to take some time to get used to, but now another McMahon related change has taken place behind the scenes. According to PWInsider.com, McMahon’s name has been removed from the company’s internal roster. McMahon had been listed along with names such as John Cena and the Bella Twins, who were not part of the active roster but could appear on any show. This is the latest step to getting rid of McMahon’s presence in WWE, after the backstage references to his name were removed last week. Opinion: This is the new reality that WWE is facing and it is almost hard to believe that McMahon is being erased so fast. I know he didn’t leave on the best of terms, but to get rid of so many things that he has done and been associated w..
The interest is there. The wrestling world has been around for a very long time and there have been all kinds of larger than life characters throughout. Several of these people are worth looking at again as you can find some fascinating stories. Some of those stories have been looked at many of them and now we will be seeing even more of them in the near future. A&E has announced the second season of Biography: WWE Legends, which will begin on July 10. The second season will include episodes on: Undertaker Bella Twins WrestleMania Goldberg Rey Mysterio Kurt Angle Lex Luger Edge D-Generation X A pair of new series were officially announced as well. First up is WWE Rivals, which will feature a look at famous WWE rivalries throughout history. Second is WWE Smack Talk, which will feature a look back at the two episodes from earlier in the night. All three shows will air in a weekly block. There is a lot here. Check out the trailer for the three series: [This post contains video, click..
Oh dear. This weekend, WWE will induct the latest class into the company’s Hall of Fame. That is one of the more nights of the year as WWE gets to honor their legends and allows them to speak about their careers. The audience is a who’s who of WWE wrestlers, but there are going to be some generation gaps here and there. It seems that is the case again between two Hall of Famers. In a since deleted video from the Bella Twins YouTube channel, Nikki Bella said she was looking forward to Vader taking the stage and giving his WWE Hall of Fame induction speech. However, Vader passed away in 2018 and is being inducted posthumously. There is no word on who will be accepting the induction on Vader’s behalf. The Bella Twins were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2020. Opinion: While I don’t think Bella meant anything malicious by what she said, this doesn’t exactly make for the best visual. At the end of the day, Vader passing away is something that she probably should..
Monday Night Raw Date: January 17, 2022 Location: BOK Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma Commentators: Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton We are less than two weeks away from the Royal Rumble and that means it is time for the card to be finalized. Last week saw Doudrop become the #1 contender for the Raw Women’s Title in what should at least be a fresh match. Other than that, we could use some more names being added to the namesake matches. Let’s get to it. Here is Becky Lynch to get things going. She knows the Royal Rumble is coming up and it is time for some big names to come back for the Big Time. People like Lita, Mickie James and the Bella Twins are here, but for now, it is time to deal with Doudrop. Last week, Becky got Doudrop her title shot, which is what she does. That’s the only way Doudrop could get her shot, but here is Doudrop to say she got everything on her own. Becky says follow her lead and you could win tonight. Cue Bianca Belair doing her dance and saying she’s in the Ru..
There is most of the field. We are less than a month away from the Royal Rumble and that means it is time to start getting the fields put together. There are sixty slots to be filled and only a handful of names have already been announced. That can make for some interesting announcements and we got a ton of them all in a row, including more than one Hall of Famer, and a big surprise. This week on SmackDown, Charlotte announced nineteen entrants for the women’s Royal Rumble match: Rhea Ripley Nikki Ash Nikki Bella Brie Bella Shotzi Natalya Michelle McCool Dana Brooke Carmella Queen Zelina Mickie James Tamina Kelly Kelly Aliyah Summer Rae Naomi Shayna Baszler Lita Charlotte The Bella Twins and Lita are all retired and have been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. James is currently the reigning Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion, which was acknowledged by commentary. Charlotte will be the first reigning champion to enter the Women’s Royal Rumble. There is no word on if any other entr..
Never again? There have been so many wrestlers to step foot in a WWE ring over the years that it is realistically impossible to keep track of all of them. It is rare to see someone really stand out above the rest, but there certainly have been some over the years. A handful of them are enshrined in the WWE Hall of Fame, but now we know that some of those legends are unlikely to return to the ring. During the latest edition of their Bellas Podcast, the Bella Twins revealed that they have no plans to return to the ring. While they would like to wrestle again, Nikki is officially retired due to her injuries. There is a chance that it could happen in the future, but it is not something that will be happening anytime soon. The Bellas last wrestled as a team on the October 8, 2018 Monday Night Raw. The team was pretty great. Check out their time in WWE: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] Opini..
It would be a big return. The Women’s Revolution has done a lot of great things for the WWE women’s division and there is little reason to believe that things are going to be changing anytime soon. The women’s division has reached heights that no one would have believed just a few years ago but there were several women who set the stage for what was to come. Now we might be seeing some of them again. While they might not be the most universally loved stars, the Bella Twins were the biggest stars in the women’s division for a very long time. They made a name for themselves through quite a bit of work and were making some amazing strides in the ring, along with becoming reality show stars to bring WWE some major publicity. The Twins will be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame whenever the ceremony can be held, but they might not be done wrestling just yet. In a new interview with US Weekly, Nikki Bella’s fiance Artem Chigvintsev said that the Bella Twins were in talks with WWE about ret..
You have to smile a bit. There are a lot of things going on in the world at the moment and a lot of them aren’t positive. With so many negative things associated with the Coronavirus around the world, it can help a lot to get your mind off things every now and then. WWE can offer that a lot of the time as watching wrestling is so out of the norm that it can give you a little peace of mind, even if wrestling isn’t involved. No matter how many matches they wrestle or what they do, at the end of the day, a lot of wrestlers have some interesting personalities. They can get in front of a camera and command the screen, which makes them all the more entertaining to watch. Every now and then you can see them getting to do something outside of the ring though and it can often be even more fun. Several WWE stars, including the Bella Twins, Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins, Ronda Rousey, Roman Reigns and others were guests on the newest edition of Carpool Karaoke. The show, which airs on Apple TV, fea..
Roman Reigns has been in the main event of the last four WrestleMania events. He has been recognized as the top babyface in the company and continued to be pushed as the top guy on WWE programming. However, a recent decision made by WWE officials has some people questioning the company’s promotion of Roman’s mainstream star power. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is campaigning hard for Emmy consideration. Recently, several WWE Superstars attended the “For Your Consideration” event in Hollywood. The company was represented by Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Ronda Rousey, and the Bella Twins. While other stars like Charlotte Flair, The New Day, Braun Strowman, and Roman Reigns were in attendance, they weren’t heavily featured. Related: Creative Plans For Roman Reigns at Summerslam Revealed On paper, that’s a major statement from the company. If WWE is only promoting Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, The Bellas, and Ronda Rousey as their mainstream stars, it could mean b..
