Brie and Nikki Bella left a major mark in the history of professional wrestling and the women’s division to be specific. Starting from nobodies with no wrestling backgrounds, they strengthened their foothold in the company for years before coming to a position where they could literally demand from the company better plans for themselves as well as the women.
During her active days in the WWE, Nikki Bella won the Divas Championship twice, whereas, Brie enjoyed one solo reign that lasted for 71 days. As the WWE Divas Championship has been retired, Nikki is likely to remain the longest-reigning champion with it, forever. This history-making achievement didn’t come easily.

Nikki Bella proceeded to reveal that she always had the aim of empowering women in the WWE. She wanted men and women to be treated equally in the WWE.

“We wanted to empower the women. We were about everyone. ‘Who are we getting over today? What’s the story?’ We never worried about getting our shit in. We just wanted everything to be good and for people to be happy,” Nikki Bella wanted to speak for each of her colleagues.
“The locker room was becoming so miserable because girls were working so hard on live events and getting to Raw or SmackDown and being so disappointed. They were losing their will and their hope. We were like, ‘there needs to be a massive change here, this is not good.’”
