Born in San Diego, California and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, Brie and Nikki Garcia wrestled on WWE SmackDown! as the Bella Twins.
They were signed to developmental contracts by the WWE in the summer of 2007, and went straight into Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW).
They feuded with Nattie Neidhart and Victoria Crawford in a series of tag team matches and used the old school masked wrestler tactic of switching places behind the referee's back if one of them was injured.
They moved up to Smackdown and Brianna debuted as Brie Bella.
There they used a variation of the gimmick, with Nicole hiding under the ring and switching places with her sister under the ring when needed.
But one night Brie ran under the wrestling ring and was followed by Natalya and Victoria, who emerged with both Brie and Nicole.
Thus the WWE's worst kept secret was blown.
