Former WWE star reveals he had a crush on The Bella Twins

NWA Champion EC3 recently disclosed that he had a crush on The Bella Twins and noted that the former champions were great people in real life.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws show, EC3 recalled hanging out with Nikki and Brie Bella in the past. He noted that both stars were sweethearts and are very much like the characters they portray on television.

"In reality, they are kind and very much like the personas they portray. They are just extensions of themselves. They are twins; they are very similar but they are very different. Brie is into holistic things like nature's cool and Nikki's high-end, Kardashian-style stuff. It's all cool; they are great people; sweethearts. I had a crush on them and I went on a date with them. Isn't that cool? That's life imitating art," said EC3. [0:37 - 1:19]
