History Wrestling / BellaTwins

* RoguesGallery: Wrestling/GailKim, Wrestling/TheFunkadactyls, Wrestling/KellyKelly, and Wrestling/{{Kaitlyn}}. Wrestling/AJLee and Wrestling/EveTorres can be added to the list as well, AJ having been a rival and KickTheDog opponent since Wrestling/NXT3 and Eve having been the one who used her influence with Wrestling/JohnLaurinaitis to ([[TheBusCameBack temporarily]]) fire the twins in an EvilVersusEvil twist. Wrestling/{{Paige}} has become a big enemy and was later joined by Wrestling/BeckyLynch and Wrestling/{{Charlotte}}, with Wrestling/{{Naomi}}, Wrestling/SashaBanks, and Wrestling/TaminaSnuka getting in the mix, to dethrone the Bellas (aided by Wrestling/AliciaFox) from the top of the Divas division and take Nikki's second Divas Championship (which Charlotte eventually did).

* PowerTrio: Became this with Wrestling/AliciaFox once she joined them, forming Team Bella. It came back to bite them in the butt when Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon brought up the three strongest women's wrestlers from [[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} developmental]] and assigned them to help Team Bella's [[Wrestling/{{Paige}} three]] [[Wrestling/{{Naomi}} greatest]] [[Wrestling/TaminaSnuka threats]] to make two new, powerful trios who wasted no time in going after Team Bella.

* ThickerThanWater: Generally is quite devoted and forgiving towards her twin, even when Nikki really doesn't deserve it. It turns into a case of ExtremeDoormat with the resolution of their 2014 feud, where Nikki betrayed her, heaped verbal abuse on her, and then abused her power over Brie when Brie was forced to be her assistant... only for Brie to [[StockholmSyndrome forgive Nikki offscreen because they are sisters and serve as her loyal]] [[TheDragon Dragon]] and BetaBitch for the next two years.

* BoobsOfSteel: Nikki is a powerhouse-style wrassler with bigger muscles and breasts than her sister.

* TheLadette: Nikki is quite close in real life. She [[GamerGirl liked video games]] growing up, is a BigEater, works out, and loves wine.

* ContraltoOfDanger: One of the ways that the twins can be told apart is that Brie has a deeper, raspier voice than Nikki, [[VocalDissonance which one probably wouldn't expect.]]

* BetaBitch: When one sister held the Divas' title, the other sister became this. Due to Nikki having a longer title reign the second time around, Brie ultimately spent more screentime in this role.

* SiblingTriangle[=/=]TriangRelations: Two, Wrestling/{{Carlito| Colon}} and Primo for Brie on Smackdown, and both twins for [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] on Raw. Both situations ended poorly. They were teasing a third with Wrestling/AlbertoDelRio, but nothing came out of it due to them leaving WWE.

* TokenWholesome: The twins admitted this in their 2012 Shoot Interview. They said that when they first appeared in WWE, they tried very hard to preserve PG. Nikki says "we were like the G girls", saying that they didn't want to alienate their kid fans. Their attire back then was considerably more modest - aside from BareYourMidriff, their tops concealed all cleavage and underboob while their pants had lots of ruffles. They became HotterAndSexier after their heel turn - even wrestling in catsuits for a time.

* PunnyName: Her finisher is the [[BuxomIsBetter Rack]] Attack, [[BlatantLies named of course because]] it is a Torture Rack drop Backbreaker.

* ArmourPiercingSlap: When Jerry Lawler tries to stop Nikki from attacking Brie, she smacks him in the face...and he backs off.

* ActionMom: She gave birth to her first child in May 2017, and competed in the Women's Wrestling/RoyalRumble eight months later in January 2018 for an 11-minute stint, helping attack [[Wrestling/KanakoUrai Asuka]] and eliminate Nia Jax and Wrestling/SashaBanks before taking one of Nikki's forearms to the nose to fall out of the ring and be eliminated.

Wiki/ThatOtherWiki has a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bella_Twins rundown]] of their career.

* IHaveTheHighGround: In her 2017 Falls Count Anywhere match, she does a springboard Pele kick to Natalya ''off the stage''.

* NiceHat: Nikki wears a baseball cap to the ring during her entrance, probably as a ShoutOut to the [[Wrestling/JohnCena wrestler]] she dated.

** From around Mid-2014, Brie favored red outfits (much like [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson her husband]]), while Nikki wore black and has [[MulticoloredHair blonde streaks]]. Ever since they both turned heel in 2014, they often wear the same colored outfits.

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: It's become much easier to tell them apart since their face turn in 2013.

* EvilTwin: Nikki plays this role whenever the sisters are pit against each other. First in 2009 briefly, then on NXT season 3, and in 2014. The last case showed how obvious this is, as the Bellas had ended their first run in WWE and started their second run back as heels, but as soon as the twins turned back face with the cast of ''Total Divas'', fans were already speculating when Nikki would turn heel on Brie — and never the other way around. [[FaceHeelTurn Sure enough…]]

** Nikki won the WWE Divas Championship twice. The first time, she had it for six days in what is the second-shortest Divas Championship reign in the company's history, beat only by Wrestling/JillianHall's four-''minute'' reign. The second time Nikki was champion, she went on to hold it for 301 days, breaking Wrestling/AJLee's 295 day record for longest-reigning Divas Champion. Talk about a turnaround!

* DoNotCallMePaul: On ''Total Divas'' the name Bella is used as if it's their real last name - whereas other talent gets called by their real names. That being said, Bryan did use Brie's real last name when he proposed to her. John Cena likewise referred to Nikki as 'Stephanie Nicole' when he proposed - the first time Nikki had ever had her true first name acknowledged.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Brie and Nikki Bella's real names are Brianna Monique and Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace, but they're called by their ring-names even on the reality show ''Series/TotalDivas''. To be fair, ''Total Divas'' also treats several other wrestlers' ring-names as their real names (probably in attempt to avoid confusing the viewers who don't know the wrestlers's real names), "Brie" and "Nikki" are shorthands for Brianna and Nicole respectively, and presumably Nicole goes by her middle name to avoid confusion with [[OneSteveLimit that other]] [[Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon Stephanie]] who happens to be their boss.
* PolarOppositeTwins: As shown on ''Series/TotalDivas''. Brie is a vegan and hippie at heart, being very conservative (clothing and lifestyle wise, anyway), and responsible. Nikki meanwhile loves expensive clothes and wines and deserts, being far more impulsive and passionate. Ironically Brie is the harder drinker of the two.

* TookALevelInBadass: Her in-ring skills improved significantly in mid-to-late 2015 and she expanded her moveset as well. By 2016 she was competing in street Fights and Falls Count Anywhere matches.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Since Brie introduced the catch-line on ''Series/TotalDivas'', "Brie Mode" has become a slogan of Brie-related WWE merchandise being sold to all ages. Said introduction defined "Brie Mode" as what happens when she gets wasted drunk, loses all sense of inhibition, and is playfully [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyMAYyLCHOU mocked for it]] in bed the next day by Wrestling/BryanDanielson.
