Wrestling career

Before their promotion to the main roster of the WWE, they were trained by Tom Prichard at Florida Championship Wrestling , where they mainly appeared as a tag team . They had their first appearance on September 15, 2007. Their first feud they had against Nattie Neidhart (now known as Natalya) and Krissy Vaine .

Their last appearance was on September 2, 2008 at a Divas Battle Royal.

Brie made her WWE debut on SmackDown in August 2008 . Her gimmick was that she crawled under the ring during their matches and reappeared with new strength.

In April 2014 there was a Kayfabe split between the two, in which Brie Bella was fired as part of the storyline and Nikki was punished for it in the month of absence. This heralded a heel-turn from Nikki, who then attacked her sister. The feud between the two lasted until the end of the year.

Brie then supported her sister Nikki as she received the Divas Championship, setting AJ Lee's record for a 301-day reign.

The end of 2015 was overshadowed by Nikki Bella's neck injury, which had to be treated and operated on.
