Former WWE Superstar Nikki Bella opened up on why her name change was necessary
WWE Superstar Nikki Garcia, fka Nikki Bella, gave her honest opinion on why The Bella Twins began using their real names again after leaving WWE.
Given the fanbase they carried worldwide, it almost certainly wasn't easy for The Bella Twins to give up the names so many people knew. While speaking on the Not Skinny Not Fat Podcast, she asserted that the Bella Army tag gave them a lot of inspiration, and it took a year's decision to let go of this identity.
She further detailed:
"So we had to work with a life coach literally with this, cause like it’s an identity thing not only to the world but like to who you are. We have this incredible Bella Army, an insane fandom worldwide. The relationship with them became so intimate and strong, and a lot of inspiration and motivation. So for us, we even thought about them, 'How are they gonna feel that they can’t be called the Bella army anymore?' It took us a year to really talk about that. We were losing our identities."
The Bella Twins are officially retired from in-ring competition, but they might make sporadic appearances for the Stamford-based company in the future.
