Reports were out on the internet for quite some time about WWE Hall of Famers The Bella Twins possibly coming back for one last stint. However, the fans were shocked to learn that they decided to leave the WWE. After changing their names to Garcia Twins on social media, they officially announced on several outlets about the departure.
During a recent episode of their podcast, The Bella Twins addressed their departure from the Vince McMahon-owned promotion. They noted reaching a point in the career where one needs to get separated from the current position to experience something new. It was also added that this is perhaps not the end of their WWE career.

“When our contract came up with WWE, mutually, we all knew we needed to head into this next chapter. We are so grateful for the past 17 years. I have learned so much in and out of the ring. I have traveled all over the world, I have incredible fandom. It’s been amazing,” the elder of The Bella Twins stated.
“This is part of relationships. Whether it’s business, love, this is relationships in life. Sometimes, you come to this part of your life where it’s like, ‘let’s go separate ways. It doesn’t mean it’s forever, but we just know that it’s right.'”
The other half of The Bella Twins, Brie Bella added also disclosed that they had thought about leaving WWE for several years prior to reaching this decision and eventually executing when the deal renewal phase arrived earlier this year,
“It doesn’t mean that it’s bad either. When things like this happen, everyone wants to look for the negative. ‘What happened? It had to be something crazy.’ It wasn’t. It was actually something beautiful. [We] thought about it for a while. This has been years coming. I want to thank Brie Bella.” (quotes courtesy No DQ)

The Bella Twins had enjoyed an illustrious career in WWE
The Bella Twins were signed to WWE in 2007. Since then, they have been regular in-ring competitors for nearly seven long years. During that time span, both the Bellas held the Divas Championships on separate occasions. Nikki became the longest-reigning WWE Divas Champion while as a duo they gained three Slammy Awards in the Diva of the Year category.
After injuries and family planning kept The Bella Twins away from the action, the two ladies starred in the company’s reality TV show called Total Divas to bring more mainstream eyes to WWE TV. Despite the fact that they were absent from mainstay WWE TV for a long time, the two were signed to WWE Legends’ Contract, working as WWE Ambassadors before moving into the WWE Hall of Fame.
