I believe @BellaTwins are very deserving inductees into the #WWEHOF Great athletes, excellent attitudes, mainstays in the Divas division for years before the women’s revolution - and were tireless ambassadors for @WWE well before @TotalDivas brought them mainstream attention.

Nikki and Brie were signed to a WWE developmental contract in June 2007 and were mainstays in the promotion for the next five years. After a brief hiatus, the twins came back to WWE in 2013. Over the next few years, they made a name for themselves in mainstream media, courtesy their Total Divas stint.

The success of Total Divas led to The Bella Twins getting their own show, named Total Bellas, in 2016. Last year in March, The Bella Twins announced on Total Bellas that they were done as in-ring performers.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
