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

Brie on the other hand took the medium to appreciate her in-ring character and all she has accomplished as a performer. “I just want to thank Brie Bella—Brie Bella the character, the name, all of it that I have been the last 16, 17 years.”

She went on to add, “I am so excited to close that chapter on Brie Bella, put that book to the side and open up a news one—and see what Brie Garcia is gonna do next.”

After Brie’s shout-out to her past self, Nikki also took that opportunity to chime in how she’s “so beyond grateful for Nikki Bella. She empowered me, she inspired me, she truly made me become fearless, and the road that she has paved and what she’s done for women and the youth—and will continue to do—just as Nikki Garcia.”
