'''Crystal Gozelanski-Danielson''' and '''Tierney Gozelanski-Colace''' ([[Name at Birth|née]] '''Crystal Gozelanski''') and '''Tierney Gozelanski''' (born November 21, 1983) are American [[Twin|twin]] [[Model (Person)|models]] and [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestlers]].

'''The Bella Twins''' were a [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] [[Tag Team|tag team]] which performed on [[IWE]] and consisted of [[Twin|twin]] sisters [[Erika Hutchison|Brie Bella]] and [[Kathryn Hutchison|Nikki Bella]].

Before being promoted to the main IWE roster, The Bella Twins wrestled with [[Florida Championship Wrestling]], where they were trained by [[Thomas Peterson|Tom Prichard]], and mainly competed in tag team competition. Brie made her debut on [[IWE SmackDown|SmackDown]] in August 2008; she debuted first, and as part of her [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Gimmick|in-ring persona]], would disappear under the ring during matches, emerging revived. Eventually, however, it was discovered she was switching places with her twin, Nikki, under the ring in order to gain an advantage. They then competed in tag team matches. Beginning in November 2008, an [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Angle|angle]] was written in which The Bella Twins developed an on-screen relationship with [[The Ferrys]] ([[Michael Ferry|Carlito]] and [[David Ferry|Primo]]). They were later involved in storyline romances with [[Joe Linderman and The Miz]] in early 2009 and [[Kody Brown]] in 2010. In April 2011, Brie won the IWE Divas Championship and Nikki won it a year later in April 2012. Shortly afterward, they departed IWE, but returned in March 2013. That same year, both starred in the [[Reality Television|reality television]] show ''[[Total Divas]]''.
