The International Business Times has published an interview with The Bella Twins, which was conducted during Super Bowl 49 weekend in Phoenix, Arizona.
Last summer, Nikki and Brie were embroiled in a heated feud that culminated at SummerSlam with Nikki turning on her sister and siding with Stephanie McMahon and Brie becoming Nikki’s assistant after they wrestled at Hell in a Cell in October. The feud ended abruptly, with the sisters reuniting on television shortly afterwards as if nothing ever happened.
Here’s what they said about it:
Nikki: “I really enjoyed where the story started. There was nothing better than having that turning moment on Brie at SummerSlam against Stephanie McMahon. Brie and her had such a great buildup, they had such a great story and I loved the start of our story. I feel like we didn’t get a chance to end our story. Unfortunately, we didn’t end it, and I wanted to go so much longer with it and I felt like we could do so much more. I truly enjoyed my pay-per-view match against Brie. We have a bond that you just can’t create. We’re born with it and we had this magic in the ring. We had great chemistry, and I wish we could’ve done a lot more. I was really enjoying our feud and the people were. It was hard for some people to watch because it’s like “Nikki’s so mean.” It was just fun and I think why it was hard for people too is because it’s (like) real life. People get interested in moments with their siblings. I wish we went longer, and I wish we could’ve finished the story. I think Brie needed to do something to me because I was just so mean to her.”
Brie: “It was a lot of fun to be working with my sister and to go from Stephanie McMahon to my own sister was great. And the nice thing is we all have a really good friendship with Stephanie. I have one with my sister, and I think you go out and there and you make magic. And after we’d be done in the ring we’d go backstage and whether you’re crying or hugging, you just let it all out and we’re like “OK I didn’t mean that.” So that’s the great thing about having your sister in the story with you.”
There were many other topics discussed, including how Total Divas has affected their careers and how Daniel Bryan and John Cena have helped them improve in the ring.
