Nikki Bella and Maria came to WWE through the WWE Diva Search, but over the years the two women have made it clear that they don't get along. It appears that their deep-rooted dislike came from the fact that Maria was friends with Dolph Ziggler whilst Nikki Bella was in a relationship with the Showoff.

Back in 2013, Maria was able to open up about the issues between the two women as well as the fact that The Bella Twins had cost her a contract with WWE by meddling behind the scenes.

"They called me, I was busy. I sent her a text back. I said there's nothing really to talk about. I know what the story is and God bless you for it. I hope everything works out. There's no real reason to talk to her. She's not worth my time. She took something from me and it wasn't a man, or it wasn't a piece of candy, it was a contract. It's my career and I think for me, that's probably the worst thing you can do, is mess with my money. I'm not going anywhere. I'm in wrestling. I'm staying in wrestling and I'm sure our paths will cross again."

Maria did return to WWE back in 2017, and was even included with Nikki Bella as one of the legendary women responsible for the success of the Women's Division on RAW's 25th Anniversary.
