We all had a hunch that Brie Bella may soon be done with professional wrestling. Brie already has a child with husband Daniel Bryan and has teased more children recently, but Nikki Bella leaving the squared circle is at the very least somewhat shocking.

After all, Nikki's career was already threatened by a significant neck injury, but she worked intensely to get back to her profession and climbed all the way back to WWE's main event scene, even taking on RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey at the historic Evolution pay-per-view.

Brie Bella let her family know that she would be walking away from professional wrestling in the penultimate episode of Total Bellas. On a beach, in the presence of her closest relatives, Brie Bella announced that she was leaving the sport that gave birth to her celebrity and introduced her to the love of her life in Daniel Bryan. Nikki Bella seemed distraught by the announcement and no one expected what was to come next.

After Evolution, Brie Bella stepped away from the ring, but Nikki joined the WWE on their European tour adding to her already busy schedule. After returning home from the tour something didn't sit right with Bella,

"The tour was good, but I just feel like I'm too old for that travel. The travel was really really rough, so I realized - I was like, 'Why am I doing this anymore?' I don't feel good....I really am ready to hang up the jersey."

When Bella was asked if she was done, she replied simply, "Yeah." The move prompted a toast by Nikki Bella's sister and long-time tag team partner Brie Bella, who said that the two would be hanging up their boots together.

Nikki Bella offered more insight into her decision,

"Being on the European Tour, I had a lot of time to think. Just how my body feels, being away from my companies, how time consuming this is - it's making me realize I'm ready to fold the jersey and put it away. I'm ready to put the kicks aside and I'm ready to take Nikki Bella into a different direction."
