Erika Monique Danielson (née Garcia-Colace) and Kathryn Nicole-Colace (born November 21, 1983) are American twin models, actresses, and professional wrestlers. The twins are a professional wrestling tag team under the ring names Brie Bella and Nikki Bella respectively, collectively referred to as the Bella Twins and they are currently signed with IWE, where Nikki is the reigning two-time Divas Champion.
Before being promoted to the main IWE roster, the Bella Twins wrestled in Florida Championship Wrestling, where they were trained by Tom Prichard, and mainly competed in tag team competition. Brie made her debut on 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, it was revealed 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 Colón (Carlito and Primo). They were later involved in storyline romances with John Morrison and The Miz in early 2009 and Daniel Bryan 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 began starring in the reality television show Total Divas as main cast members.
