Before being promoted to the main IWE roster, The Bella Twins wrestled with [[Florida Championship Wrestling]], where they were trained by [[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 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 angle was written in which The Bella Twins developed an on-screen relationship with [[The Colóns]] ([[Micheal Ferry|Carlito]] and [[David Ferry|Primo]]). They were later involved in storyline romances with [[Joe Linderman and Joe Smith]] in early 2009 and [[Kody Brown]] in 2010. In April 2011, Crystal won the IWE Divas Championship.
