The Bella Twins Announced for WWE Hall of Fame

Nikki and Brie, The Bella Twins, will join Batista and the NWO (Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Sean Waltman) in the 2020 Class of the WWE Hall of Fame.

On this week’s SmackDown, Alexa Bliss broke the news on her “Moment of Bliss” talk show segment, where the Bellas thanked their “Bella Army,” brought up how they’re both also pregnant (yes, a week and a half apart), and then mentioned Nikki’s engagement to her boyfriend, Artem Chigvintsevwith.

The announcement ended with Brie’s husband Daniel Bryan coming out on stage, with their daughter Birdie, to share in the celebration.

The Bella Twins debuted in WWE back in 2008, using dirty tactics – “Twin Magic,” in which Nikki would secretly swap in for Brie – to win matches. In 2011, Brie captured the WWE Divas Championship while Nikki would win the title in 2014, holding it for 300 days and setting a record for the championship. The duo are also the stars of E! reality shows Total Divas and spinoff Total Bellas.

The 2020 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony takes place on Thursday, April 2, during WrestleMania 36 Week.
