5 Things you should know about the Bella Twins

#3 They tried out for the WWE Diva Search in 2006

Like many future female stars in the WWE, the Bella Twins tried out for the WWE Diva Search back in 2006. However, they were not able to follow in the footsteps of past winners, Christy Hemme and Ashley Massaro. Neither twin made the final cut and thus did not appear on television, making their appearance here relatively lesser-known.

Nikki and Brie looked back at the contest from almost 14 years ago, including some unseen footage, for their YouTube channel. It seems like they were the least experienced out of all contestants in that year's Diva Search, pointing out how "bad they were" compared to the other contestants.

The Diva Search winner in 2006 was Layla El, who would go on to win multiple titles and have a solid run in WWE. Fun fact, Layla actually defeated Nikki Bella for the Divas Championship at Extreme Rules 2012. Future champion and reality TV star Maryse Ouellet finished 7th that year, we know how her paths crossed with both twins, at separate points.
