Rumor: WWE Releasing The Bella Twins

[Jack-Hammer]

According to PWInsider.com, the Bella Twins & WWE are going to be parting ways once their current deal expires, which is said to be April 30. Right now, there isn't any word on why the Bellas are leaving but I'm sure there'll be tons of rumors as to why.

In all honesty, I think this is a good move. In my view, the Bellas are mostly dead weight that WWE doesn't need. They're hot, of course, but WWE has a lot of hot women signed to their roster and most of them are better wrestlers than the Bellas.

So let the "Do you think TNA will sign the Bella Twins?" speculation begin.

 

[Martin Gabriel]

I swear, if their departure creates some sort of backstage drama that fucks over Dolph Ziggler's and Daniel Bryan's careers, I'll flip a bitch.

And no I don't think they'll go to TNA.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

I'm still not sure which one was the Divas champion.

They had a good run for what they bring to the table. Although they are very attractive (great stomachs and are shockingly beautiful in their modelling photos), their best feature, being twins got old a long time ago. The surprising thing for me is that the best work they have done has been recent. I enjoyed their campy antics as the arguing sisters representing Teams Teddy and Johnny.

If they are going there are probably a couple of Divas or Divas-in-training that need to step up their game and realize a door just opened for them that may shut very quickly if they can't capitalize on it.

 

[The Perfect Max]

To be fair to them, they are by no means the best in the ring, probably some of the worst, but I do believe Brie Bella's title reign and the use of Twin Magic is something special and can only be seen once in a long time. I mean the only case of this I can remember is the referee switch when DiBiase wanted the title.

Whether or not they will go to TNA? I can easily see them going, but something tells me they won't. Why would they. What do they have to give? Unlike WWE, TNA only look for people descent in the ring, The Bella's are not. TNA does seem like a likely home for them, but I don't see it happening.

I mean, from now until April 30th 2012, The Bella Twins may re-sign their contracts. Who knows? Only The Bella Twins. But if The Bella Twins leave, they have to realise that the door they easily walked out of may not be as easy to walk back in.

 

[Remix]

Oh no! The Bella twins might be leaving WWE? However will the Diva's division maintain its complete irrelevence to the programme being there to look hot, wrestle badly, and display no charisma? But maybe there's people in FCW that can fill in for them there. Hmmm let's see, what about this girl, Sofia Cortez.

[youtube]Tbt-mOyvjV8[/youtube]

No wait, that can't be right. That promo was... good and it seems like she's got something resembling a personality. We can't have that, the replacement(s) for the Bellas need to have nothing going for them except their looks. What about this pale chick, Paige:

[youtube]Vo2CEvsro_4[/youtube]

NO NO NO! This can't be happening, she's got a gimmick and ability to cut a non shit promo too! This is simply not on. What about this mexican girl, Raquel Diaz?

[youtube]P7uYKWyhAD8[/youtube]

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT! Another solid effort. I bet NONE of them can wrestle though, and I'll prove it... right after I take this call. What? You seriously expect me to believe that Sofia Cortez, Raquel Diaz and Paige can all wrestle at or above the level of most WWE Divas? That's simply not possible! Fine, I'll look the bitches up if it means that much to you. Paige isn't in this match, but if music has taught me anything two out of three ain't bad. Shut up man, everyone loves Meatloaf references.

[youtube]Qqa9TZhCxjg[/youtube]

Who the hell's Audrey Marie? Don't answer, I'm watching the match already. Alright, I'll admit it that match was a hell of a lot better than any Bella twin matches. Hell I'd bet most divas couldn;t put on a match this good. And Paige is good too? That can only mean that the divas in FCW can't fill the tallentless void that will be left by Bree and Nicoletta's depatrure. Their names are Brie and Nikki? Huh, who knew? But anyway, WWE is doomed without them, whatever their names are! Doomed I tell you!

No wait, thinking about it. Having talented people in spots formerly occupied by tallentless people is an improvement. I guess that means that the Bellas going would be a good thing. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

 

[The_Sharpshooter]

Let me be the 1st to say I'd be upset to see the Twins go. Whether googling over Daniel Bryan or ADR, sucking up to the authority of Johnny, or getting squashed by Kharma, they always seemed to play their role effortlessly. Twin Magic is probably the most interesting thing to watch for in a Diva's match besides the Glam Slam and between all the lackluster Divas competitors, they had the most poersonality.

And they're freakin hot! Only way you see twins that hot is in a C Movie. And I don't plan on seeing American Reunion.

 

[LoudClearVoice]

They suck at wrestling but so do virtually all the Divas. It seems like they were starting to get a little bit of a push as of late. I also think the twin gimmick is good, or at least somewhat interesting.

Even if they're released from the roster, they'll always be in my spank bank

 

[jrichardson25]

I'd take it as a rumor. Their current contract might be up soon but I doubt they'll just leave. For two beautiful women, its easy money and they get to travel. They have gotten better in the ring but honestly, Nattie, Beth and Kharma need to rule that division (which never gets airtime in the first place).

Do I think they'll leave? No, like I said, easy money and travel. I'm willing to bet they will stay. They will negotiate new contracts soon and it will be like they never left... look at the other people that were going to "leave" then re-signed a contract a couple weeks later.

 

[TBK]

I'd say it's about time they head on their way. It seems like so much Divas hold the others back. Removing the Bellas I'd say is a very good thing. It's just a way to get more Divas who don't have much spotlight. The Divas division feels like it could be so much more, but it feels like to do that they need to just trim the fat a bit. If I was WWE, I'd just get rid of them, Eve and Kelly Kelly and we eliminated our biggest roadblocks to having solid wrestling in the division. Then afterwards, WWE can bill it as the whole new divas division. They can actually give time to them and expect good results. I'm not lying, I do find them pretty hot, but overall, I'd say this is just a step in the right direction for the Diva's division in WWE and I hope WWE capitalizes on it and pushes who they feel can move up.

 

[ThisisBDub]

About time! But the thing here is, is WWE releasing them or are the Bella Twins deciding to leave because if its the latter, they're crazy. My bet would be on WWE releasing them because they don't need them. They barely wrestle at all, all they're used for is to escort hall of famers to the ring. They can use Eve, Kelly Kelly, Alicia Fox, etc. for that, no need to waste money on these twins.

 

[Peoples_Champ]

Although it's curious why Divas haven't been seen over the past couple weeks, I don't think the Bella twins will be on their way out. If they can't renegotiate their contracts because they're not willing to stay, that's one thing. But I would bet that WWE want them around, if for nothing else other than they're fucking main eventers.

 

[Dagger Dias]

I won't miss them. The Bella Twins are awful. They are among the worst on the mic and nothing special in the ring. A storyline where one was a face and the other a heel could have been interesting, but knowing creative they would somehow mess that up. I'm not interested in seeing either of them in another match, ever. They suck. It's not like the divas division (or lack thereof) would fall apart if they left, so I say let them leave after their contract expires. They should be future endeavoured as they have practically nothing to bring to the table.

The only thing they were ever good for was involvement with the celebrity guests by bringing them out for their promos or talking to them backstage. They have a whole roster of other divas who could do that, most of which are better than the twins in every other category. I can see WWE wanting to keep them around if possible since they are twins, but is it really worth it? They aren't good at anything and there's next to nothing they can provide that other divas cannot do better. So long, Bellas! I'm sure we will see them in TNA this fall with all of the others that WWE decide to get rid of this summer.

 

[Remix]

They suck at wrestling but so do virtually all the Divas.

See the videos that I posted earlier? Note how none of them suck. The Bellas do and if they're deassing their locker room that's a good thing. They're a waste of TV time and a pay cheque.

It seems like they were starting to get a little bit of a push as of late.

God knows why.

I also think the twin gimmick is good, or at least somewhat interesting.

If by that you mean even close to good, done to death, tired and generally stupid/

Even if they're released from the roster, they'll always be in my spank bank

Go watch porn. Spank banks went obsolete as soon as porn became free.

I'd take it as a rumor. Their current contract might be up soon but I doubt they'll just leave.

Because?

For two beautiful women, its easy money and they get to travel.

So you're saying that being on the road 200 days a year with a very real risk of injuries and a 100% chance of being in pain a lot of the time? Yeah, it's so much easier to be a WWE wrestler than anything else if you're pretty.

You know what the hardest part of being a wrestler is? It's not the training, it's not the bumps, it's the road. That shit's tiring and relentless. How much do you enjoy the airport? Try going there on a biweekly basis.

They have gotten better in the ring but honestly, Nattie, Beth and Kharma need to rule that division (which never gets airtime in the first place).

So you're saying that they're shit and better people could use their air time and you think it would be a good thing to keep them? That is not logical, Captain.

Do I think they'll leave? No, like I said, easy money and travel. I'm willing to bet they will stay. They will negotiate new contracts soon and it will be like they never left.

The article makes it sound like they're the ones who don't want to stay. Perhaps they've realised that there are easier ways to make money than spending a life on the road, taking bumps for a living when their "best before" date on their gimmick has expired.

look at the other people that were going to "leave" then re-signed a contract a couple weeks later.

Like Gail Kim? Oh, right.

About time! But the thing here is, is WWE releasing them or are the Bella Twins deciding to leave because if its the latter, they're crazy.

Because a life spent on the road and taking bumps is like totally awesome! And there aren't any easier ways for hot twins to make money than that. Oh wait there totally are.

My bet would be on WWE releasing them because they don't need them. They barely wrestle at all, all they're used for is to escort hall of famers to the ring. They can use Eve, Kelly Kelly, Alicia Fox, etc. for that, no need to waste money on these twins.

Quitting, getting released. It doesn't matter. Either way they're gone.

Although it's curious why Divas haven't been seen over the past couple weeks,

The Bellas wrestled on Smackdown. Know your facts before you post.

I don't think the Bella twins will be on their way out. If they can't renegotiate their contracts because they're not willing to stay, that's one thing. But I would bet that WWE want them around, if for nothing else other than they're fucking main eventers.

Fucking Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan isn't going to protect their jobs. Ask Eden Stiles who's dating Cody Rhodes and got fired, Melina who was and is dating Morrison and Matt Hardy, who got fired because his girlfriend cheated on him.

 

[jrichardson25]

Because?

I can? Honestly, they aren't Stacy Keibler nor are they Torrie Wilson. They could get booked based on who they are.. but mainstream exposure won't happen more than likely.

So you're saying that being on the road 200 days a year with a very real risk of injuries and a 100% chance of being in pain a lot of the time? Yeah, it's so much easier to be a WWE wrestler than anything else if you're pretty.

Not what I meant. They're young. They're what 27? They can model til they're in their 40s and beyond assuming they stay in shape and whatnot. They can't be WWE Divas that long... anyway...

You know what the hardest part of being a wrestler is? It's not the training, it's not the bumps, it's the road. That shit's tiring and relentless. How much do you enjoy the airport? Try going there on a biweekly basis.

Not where I was going but a valid point. Yeah, travel beats up the body. That's why Show uses his tour bus. Its a hell of a lot easier on him. I hate traveling by plane but you do what you have to do for the money and the enjoyment of the work.

So you're saying that they're shit and better people could use their air time and you think it would be a good thing to keep them? That is not logical, Captain.

When did I ever say I was completely logical in my arguments? I'm half a wake sue me =P They are worth keeping... but shouldn't be the face of the division... (I believe that's what I wanted to say... I blame the shit caffeine haha)

The article makes it sound like they're the ones who don't want to stay. Perhaps they've realised that there are easier ways to make money than spending a life on the road, taking bumps for a living when their "best before" date on their gimmick has expired.

Good point. Eh, honestly. They're part of my diva eye candy... if they leave I'll find others (aka staring at K2 more... but not the point) If they decide to leave more power to them... but I'd miss them on that accord.

Like Gail Kim? Oh, right.

That's a can of worms and you know it. She knew damn well what she was getting in to when she re-signed with the company... The way she did it was way unprofessional and I lost all respect for her. She had a complex that made her think she was a bigger star than what she has been in the past...

 

[Remix]

I can? Honestly, they aren't Stacy Keibler nor are they Torrie Wilson. They could get booked based on who they are.. but mainstream exposure won't happen more than likely.

Because there's no way that they could, ya know be models, sell stuff, or anything like that.

Not what I meant. They're young. They're what 27? They can model til they're in their 40s and beyond assuming they stay in shape and whatnot. They can't be WWE Divas that long... anyway...

So you're saying that they could have an easier life with more longevity and a considderably lower risk of injury and they'd want to stay in WWE? You high or something?

Not where I was going but a valid point. Yeah, travel beats up the body. That's why Show uses his tour bus. Its a hell of a lot easier on him. I hate traveling by plane but you do what you have to do for the money and the enjoyment of the work.

And the Bellas could do a whole lot less traveling if they weren't in WWE and still make good money.

When did I ever say I was completely logical in my arguments? I'm half awake sue me =P They are worth keeping... but shouldn't be the face of the division... (I believe that's what I wanted to say... I blame the shit caffeine haha)

So you admit that they're shit but they're worth keeping around because they're hot? Wow, WWE really is short of shitty but hot divas, right? Oh wait, they've got more than enough.

Good point. Eh, honestly. They're part of my diva eye candy... if they leave I'll find others (aka staring at K2 more... but not the point) If they decide to leave more power to them... but I'd miss them on that accord.

I'm sure your right hand will find something to do during Smackdown.

That's a can of worms and you know it. She knew damn well what she was getting in to when she re-signed with the company... The way she did it was way unprofessional and I lost all respect for her. She had a complex that made her think she was a bigger star than what she has been in the past...

Also, Maryse asked to go too.

 

[TheChosenOne10]

I think the Bellas are perfect for the role they play in the WWE. They occasionally have a match and do the twin magic which at least makes them different then all the other boring divas (excluding beth, kharma). They mainly are eye candy and serve as escorts. Yes they aren't necessary in the least but they are better than every SD Diva who I couldn't even tell you half their names AJ, Teddy Longs gf?, blonde girl maybe was on an NXT challenge. In the long run, i think there is many others id rather see go then these two girls. But in all honesty, who really is gonna notice them gone with all thats going on right now?

 

[d3thRoW]

I always liked them, thought they have been pretty entertaining, at least as far as divas are allowed to be, and served the eye candy role well enough. Leaving or not, their wrestling ability doesn't much apply to anything related to their jobs, since even the divas who are good in the ring still get 1 minute matches and garbage celebrities involved in their wrestlemania matches. Not sure what the Bellas plan on doing outside of the wwe if they leave, but I'm guessing they have a plan. Remember all the ones who have left in the past for bigger and better things? That always works out well right? Like Vince told Sable, girls like that are a dime a dozen(although twins might get a bit more of a premium).

 

[sTyLnK]

According to PWInsider.com, the Bella Twins & WWE are going to be parting ways once their current deal expires, which is said to be April 30. Right now, there isn't any word on why the Bellas are leaving but I'm sure there'll be tons of rumors as to why.

In all honesty, I think this is a good move. In my view, the Bellas are mostly dead weight that WWE doesn't need. They're hot, of course, but WWE has a lot of hot women signed to their roster and most of them are better wrestlers than the Bellas.

So let the "Do you think TNA will sign the Bella Twins?" speculation begin.

Most wrestlers are "dead weight" and don't contribute much of everything. Especially in the Divas division. But to be fair, Vince and co. treat most of the Divas horribly. The entire division is a complete mess.

The Bellas probably asked to leave so they can focus on other things. No, I do not think they will sign with TNA. The WWE has been very good to them and Vince always loved them. Which is why they were always on tv. And I don't think that's changed. It sounds like they've just had enough and want to try something else. Which is fine of course. I know both are huge football fans and even to the point where they do fantasy pools and what not. So maybe they will do something with that.

 

[The Scarred One]

I'm surprised the Bellas lasted as long as they did.

I remember listening to one of Colt Cabana's podcast last year and he had an interesting story about them. He said while both he and the Bellas were in developmental together, Brie and Nikki allegedly called up the office and threatened to quit if they weren't promoted to the main roster. Also, it was noted that the twins weren't fans of wrestling growing up. They even got the company's name wrong, calling it Worldwide Wrestling Entertainment on their MySpace.

From that, I got the feeling that the Bellas were in it for the wrong reasons, mainly money and exposure. I always felt that if you're in it for the wrong reasons, you won't last. It's a grueling lifestyle from what I've heard and if you don't love what you do, you'll be miserable. But I guess they enjoyed doing what they did, otherwise they probably would've quit a long time ago.

Now as far as they go as performers, I thought they were decent. They weren't bad, but were passable. But the whole twin magic switcheroo got stale after a while. It sucks because being twins was their gimmick. But at the same time, their biggest attribute was also their biggest drawback. You got the impression that, if they were split apart and forced to wrestle as singles stars, that one couldn't survive without the other. That's probably why, whenever there were signs of a split, they stuck together. Although, I thought it would've been interesting to see them operate seperately to see if one was truly better than the other.

But they might decide to stick around and resign with the company. Considering how big a fan Vince McMahon is of them, he'd probably offer them anything they want just to stay on board. We'll just have to wait and see.

If they choose not to come back, than it won't really be that big a loss. They probably won't go to TNA, but most likely go back to modeling full-time. If they do leave, it will leave slots open for the likes of Sofia Cortez, Raquel Diaz and Paige to come up.

 

[ccotreau1]

I love their current roles in the WWE, they remind me of the Basham Brothers in their antics in the ring (pulling the Twin Magic antics) but in this case, they are legit twins whereas the Bashams were not. I think the bickering sisters thing would make for an interesting storyline, showing which sister is better kind of thing. I would love to see them split up and manage wrestlers and that kind of stuff as well as compete from time to time.

 

[Tripleb2k1]

its just as well...saves from 2 more releases when they begin. they weren't really given a "push" with 1 win...it was more about Kelly Kelly/Beth Phoenix

 

[jacdnwarrior]

I actually liked the Bellas. They're hot and they're not great but they're good in the ring. Tbh, they didn't have much of a division to work with in WWE. Vince clearly has no interest in the Divas. They get very little air time, harldy any time on ppvs. The Divas are an afterthought, not a priority to him.

Now I'm not saying they necessarily will go to TNA, (I haven't watched TNA in ages), if TNA were to take them on, with the knockouts, the Bellas could flourish there.

 

[Swiggs]

This is a surprise to me based on the fact that only a month or so ago the internet was claiming that Vince was huge on the bellas and wanted them involved more on TV. Not to mention the recent involvement in current TV.

We have seen in the past that they have the sisters bicker all the way to the point that it seems one is going to turn on the other but plans always seemed to be backed out of.

Personally I don't think they are TOO marketable without the other sister at their side. Most likely wont affect the world of wrestling too much but will be interesting to see what happens.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

bout time the bellas go bye bye out the door i hope they dont resign they should be sent packing to the indy scene there hot sure but not really that talented i hope this leads to britini knight being called up shes just as hot as the bellas and way more talented! wouldnt be surprised if the bellas resign though

 

[shooter_mcgavin]

This is a surprise to me based on the fact that only a month or so ago the internet was claiming that Vince was huge on the bellas and wanted them involved more on TV. Not to mention the recent involvement in current TV.

As I recall reports states its the Bellas that decided not to resign with the company. I like the Bellas but I guess this shows how Wrestling was never their passion and they just used the WWE as a platform or stepping stone for public exposure. I would think their next career move would be on modeling, TV, or movies it seems like that was their plan all along.
