The Bella Twins have always caused a stir around them, and their popularity has been increasing since they first joined the WWE. Brianna and Nicole Bella were born on the 21st of November 1983 to a family of Mexican and Italian descent. The twin sisters began their careers as models after college, and enjoyed acting and doing promotional work. They were featured in several magazines and appeared in shows around the country.

Brianna and Nicole were dubbed The Bella Twins when they first appeared at Florida Championship Wrestling where they took part in several tag team matches. Brianna was featured as Brie Bella in August Smackdown where she picked up a win against Victoria. Nicole was dubbed Nikki as she came in the ring to help her twin fend off the angry Victoria and Natalya. The Bella twins had their official first match only weeks later and are the first twins ever employed by the WWE.
