The Shocking Shift: Why Nikki and Brie Dropped The 'Bella' Name
The name change from The Bella Twins to The Garcia Twins was arguably the biggest non-wrestling news story surrounding the sisters in recent years. This strategic and personal decision, which took effect in early 2023, marked a definitive break from their long-time association with the WWE.
A Return to Roots: Honoring Their Mexican Heritage
The name "Bella" was an identity they adopted early in their career, inspired by their grandfather who affectionately called them "my Bellas." However, as they stepped away from the WWE and sought to establish a legacy that was entirely their own, they chose to embrace their birth surname, Garcia. This move is a powerful nod to their Mexican heritage and their father’s side of the family, allowing them to fully embody their authentic selves as they enter this new chapter.
By rebranding as Nikki Garcia and Brie Garcia, the sisters signaled to the world that they were moving beyond the confines of their WWE-created personas. It allowed them to take full ownership of their brand, which now encompasses a wide range of entrepreneurial projects, including their successful wine label, Bonita Bonita, and their lifestyle brand, Birdiebee. This transition was essential for their growth as independent businesswomen and media personalities.
The Unretiring Act: WWE Comebacks in 2025
Despite their exit from the WWE and the name change, the allure of the squared circle remains strong. The biggest headlines of late 2024 and early 2025 revolve around their potential in-ring returns, now under their Garcia names. This is not just a nostalgic appearance; it suggests a serious desire to compete and solidify their legacy as the Garcia Twins.
Nikki Garcia's Royal Rumble and Evolution Returns
Nikki Garcia (formerly Nikki Bella) made a stunning, high-profile return to the WWE ring, participating in the *2025 Women's Royal Rumble* match. Furthermore, reports indicate Nikki is set to return to a major pay-per-view, *Evolution 2025*, expressing that her comeback would only feel complete if her twin sister, Brie, was by her side. This shows that despite their individual success, the Garcia Twins brand remains a powerful force in professional wrestling.
Brie Garcia: In Talks to Unretire
Following her sister’s return, Brie Garcia (formerly Brie Bella) is reportedly in talks with WWE to officially unretire. The speculation is that she will join Nikki for a major tag team match, potentially at *Evolution 2025*, to help her sister "kick some ass." A reunion of the Garcia Twins in a major WWE event would be one of the most significant moments of the year, blending their Hall of Fame legacy with their new, independent identity.
From Reality TV Stars to Business Moguls: The Garcia Empire
The Garcia Twins’ influence extends far beyond the ropes of a wrestling ring. They successfully parlayed their WWE fame into a lucrative media and business empire, proving they are savvy entrepreneurs.
Their foundation was laid with the success of their reality television shows, *Total Divas* and the spin-off *Total Bellas*. *Total Bellas*, which aired from 2016 to 2021, provided an intimate look into their lives, relationships with their husbands (Daniel Bryan and Artem Chigvintsev), and the challenges of balancing motherhood with a demanding career.
Today, their focus is on their independent brands. Birdiebee, a lifestyle and apparel brand, emphasizes eco-friendly fashion and female empowerment. Their Napa Valley-based wine label, Bonita Bonita Wine, is a testament to their love for fine wine and their commitment to building a sophisticated business portfolio. Attending high-profile events like the 35th Annual Environmental Media Association (EMA) Awards Gala in 2025 further highlights their commitment to social and environmental causes, cementing their status as influential public figures.
