Nikki Bella and Brie Bella are cutting their ties with the WWE and are not renewing their contracts with the company.

Not only have the twin deleted all references to WWE on their social media bios and profiles but they are going back to their birth names as well dropping “Bella”.

The twins will be renaming their podcast to The Nikki & Brie Show which will be carried by Sirius XM and podcast platforms.. On their latest episode they confirm the change.

“Today we are officially from here on out, the Garcia Twins, Brie and Nikki Garcia,” said Nikki.

The decision follows a very public falling out with the WWE over the recent Raw Anniversary show in which the Bellas were not featured.

“Why didn’t they (WWE) showcase anything from the women’s evolution?” asked Nikki Bella in a social media video post at the time.

Nikki also ripped into the WWE on The Sessions podcast with Renee Young. She claims Total Divas brought in and introduced a lot of female viewers to the WWE but the show and the Bellas didn’t get the credit they deserved from the WWE.

“They push who they want the crowd to be behind. Perception is reality. That is WWE to a ‘T’. Even though the fans think they own it, no, they laugh in the back. ‘No, we own you at the end of the day.’ So I truly believe Total Divas was the first thing they couldn’t control. They couldn’t control the success. They couldn’t control what the mainstream was,” she said.
