The Bella Twins may be major stars outside WWE, but according to Natalya, they didn’t ask for special treatment when they came back.
With WWE getting closer to WrestleMania 42, several returning names are back in the spotlight, including Nikki and Brie Bella. While the twins have built a strong presence outside wrestling through reality TV and entertainment projects, Natalya recently revealed how they handled their return behind the scenes — and it caught attention.
Speaking to the Toronto Sun, Natalya talked about welcoming Nikki and Brie back to WWE and explained that despite their mainstream fame, they didn’t act like bigger-than-the-locker-room celebrities. Instead, she said they made a choice that earned respect from the rest of the roster.
While discussing their return, Natalya explained that WWE offered the twins private locker rooms — something often given to high-profile names — but they turned it down and chose to stay with the rest of the women’s division.
“Sometimes when people come back where they’re like bigger celebritie. The Bella Twins are mainstream celebrities. It’s so funny because WWE, whenever they’re back here, talent relations always says, ‘Okay, do you girls want your own locker room? Do you guys want your own?’ and they’re always like, ‘No, we want to change with the girls.’”
Natalya also pointed out that their attitude made a big impression on the locker room, saying the women were happy to have Nikki and Brie back and that they blended in immediately after returning.
“So, the girls in our locker room love having the twins back. They just fit in with us so well. It’s like they never missed a beat.”
With WrestleMania 42 just weeks away and returning names playing key roles, moments like this offer insight into how locker room culture continues to shape the company behind the scenes.
