The unthinkable of The Bella Twins walking out of their home turf of WWE was unimaginable to the fans. During their timespan with the company for more than 115 years, they had solidified their legacy in the women’s division of the WWE and also established themselves as some of the very few WWE lifers. So, it was literally a shock for the WWE Universe to move forward without their beloved stars onboard.

Earlier this year, The Bella Twins came to the news after they stated that WWE didn’t want to feature a lot of women on their RAW XXX show in January. Apparently, differences in creative things also forced them to opt themselves out of the show despite being promoted for the night. Soon after that night, the duo eventually announced to be parting away with the WWE.

Appearing on a recent episode of The Today Show, the now Garcia Twins explained that they wanted to go back to their roots and the first step of doing so was by leaving the promotion which made them The Bella Twins in the first place.

“We feel like this is going to be harder for our fandom than us because we’ve been preparing for this for the last year,” Brie Bella said on the show.

“Nikki and I, we just wanted to expand. We wanted to grow more. We knew doing that, we had to go back to our roots and back to our roots being the Garcia twins.” (quotes courtesy TODAY)
