The Bella Twins Were Bullied Into Changing Their Outfits For Their WWE Debut

Nikki Bella is one of the most beloved female WWE Superstars and the same can be said about her sister Brie. It was a slow and gradual process as they were also hated at one point. They were also bullied on the night of their WWE debut.

Their first appearance took place on the August 29, 2008 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, with Brie Bella squaring off against former WWE Superstar Victoria. During the match, she switched places with Nikki.

The company only acknowledged them as twins until November of that year. While speaking during their A&E Biography: WWE Legends episode, The Bella Twins revealed they were bullied into changing their outfits during the night of their WWE debut.

And that’s a lot of women fighting for a spot.

The seamstresses at WWE, they were amazing. They were like, ‘We’ll help you, what do you have in your bag?’ And we’re like, well, we have a tankini swimsuit, some BB workout pants, and they literally cut our swimsuits. They sew them onto our workout pants that we actually worked out in that day, and we made a wrestling gear

The Bella twins also stated that they will make a return to WWE if it makes sense. Till then, we will have to wait and see what the future holds for both Nikki and Brie Bella.
