The Bella Twins - whether you loved them or hated them, you knew who they were and what they accomplished in the WWE during their time there. You also knew that they are responsible for several successful ventures outside of WWE, including a stint on Dancing With The Stars, launching independent brands and even a spin-off reality show.

With that being said and Wrestlevotes reporting that The Bella Twins are being floated as an idea for a Hall of Fame induction this year, here are five reasons why the twins no doubt deserve the spot.

As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to tell us if you believe they deserve the spot or not.


#5 part in The women's revolution

While The Bella Twins definitely didn't start the women's revolution, especially since they were more representative of the old guard, they played a significant part in the evolution of women's wrestling. In all honesty, The Bella Twins served perfectly in the role of stop-gap champions and did a great job of eventually putting over the likes of Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch.

Think about it, none of those three women would be where they are today if it wasn't for Nikki Bella building up a big reign and being toppled by Charlotte Flair. Of course, Lynch and Banks played a role in this too by competing in six women tag team matches against the twins, but Charlotte was arguably the first person to get the rub.

In the end, that was the spark that allowed the women's revolution to move forward and we should appreciate that a little more. Maybe they didn't always do it in a way that fans agreed with or even got little to no time to tell a story, but they made the most of it.

#4 Memorable moments

Another reason The Bella Twins belong in the WWE Hall of Fame is the litany of memorable moments they have had throughout their careers. Now, maybe this wasn't exactly true during their first run with the company, but they definitely made up for it with a few dream matches later in their runs with WWE.

For example, who could forget when The Bella Twins were challenged by AJ Lee and Paige to a match at WrestlemMania 31 and lost? Or even Nikki Bella and John Cena teaming up to take on The Miz in Maryse at WrestleMania 33? It was even capped off with a marriage proposal, which was pretty shocking at the time.

Sure, some are going to bring up The Total Divas versus WWE Divas match during the WrestleMania 32 kick off show, but those are exceptions and not the rule. If nothing else, these women have provided fans with a lot of memorable moments over the years and whether they did that as heels or faces, they did it in a way that moved the product forward.

#3 Title reigns

Believe it or not, The Bella Twins held The Divas Championship on three separate occasions for a combined total of over 377 days. That's only 29 days short of AJ Lee's combined total of 406 days as champion and is absolutely nothing to bat an eye at. In fact, one could say they held the division over until the women's revolution.

Of course that probably wasn't clear in the beginning, especially since Brie Bella's first and only reign ended after only 70 days, but Nikki Bella's two title reigns make up for that. One also has to keep in mind that Nikki was champion during the titles dying days and really carried it with class.

If nothing else, Nikki Bella's last reign as champion might be overlooked as a bit of a blight on the company, but she proved herself every time she stepped into the ring. Furthermore, she did the best with what she was given and along with Brie, made the title picture mean something bigger than what it was.

#2 Reality TV crossover

Of course, there is going to be debate about whether this factor is a good thing or not, but try to think about WWE as an entertainment entity and not just as pro wrestling. In all seriousness, the company is publicly traded on the stock market and is doing everything they can to bring in new audiences.

And that's where The Bella Twins came in. Two beautiful women that had been with the company for almost a decade and were ready to share their life with the world. They showed us the good, the bad and the ugly of the journey and while there was a whole cast of co-stars, one could argue that the twins were the focal point.

In the end, The Bella Twins helped to further WWE in the public conscious by staring in the Total Divas and Total Bellas reality show. That is what helped the company create more content for both the WWE network and the company's broadcast partners while also bringing it to the mainstream.

#1 Top heels

It's no secret that The Bella Twins were one of the most despised duos for a period of time and while they ultimately flipped the script on that narrative, they still deserve to go down as one of the best heels of all time.They had everything - the looks, the attitude and acting skills to make it work.

These two women knew how to get you to hate them and used that to their advantage. Think back to The Bellabrations that they held for months during Nikki's reign with the Divas Championship. Or even their feud with Paige and AJ Lee at WrestleMania 33. These women knew the role and played it to absolute perfection.

Beyond all that, these two women were the perfect stop-gap between the Divas era and the women's revolution. They bridged the gap perfectly by focusing on Nikki Bella's long reign and putting over the right talent when the time called for it. These women served as the stepping stone to what is women's pro wrestling today and they did it by making you hate them.
