The Context
Total Divas was a reality TV show on E! that ran from 2013 to 2019. It followed the personal and professional lives of female World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) stars, including the Bellas.

In March 2019, the sisters announced their retirement from the WWE on their Total Divas spinoff, Total Bellas. Their careers, however, predate the shows as the siblings started at the WWE in 2007.
In 2023, they revealed their departure from their Bella persona and shared that they would be using their maiden name, Garcia, moving forward.
Despite their retirement, the twins announced this week that they'll be returning to the WWE in some capacity, though the specific details have not yet been released.
What To Know
During a joint appearance on the Busted Open podcast on Tuesday, Nikki Bella—whose real name is Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace—pointed to her sister and said, "I'm waiting for this one to join me in the ring, so yes, there will be a Bella Twins comeback."
In February, Nikki Bella made a surprise appearance at the 2025 women's Royal Rumble match in Indianapolis.
Meanwhile, Brie Bella—whose real name is Brianna Monique Danielson—spoke out about Nikki Bella's comeback at the Queen of the Ring Los Angeles premiere in March and said that she often thinks about a WWE return.
"Oh yes, always. But you know, what the women are doing today in both AEW [All Elite Wrestling] and WWE gets me wanting to get out there. It's incredible to be a fan of pro wrestling today. But definitely when I saw her I was like, 'Wait, it's not complete if I'm not there.'"
And on The Nikki & Brie Show, Nikki Bella spoke out about their former reality show, noting that "everyone wants this Total Divas reboot."
"They want the Total Divas OGs," she said, referring to the original cast members, but "with a few newbies."
The original cast members of the program included Nikki and Brie Bella, Naomi (Trin), Cameron, Eva Marie, Natalya (Nattie) and JoJo.
"You know what? I mean, I might be biased, but I feel like they would kill it," Brie Bella said, adding that her choices for new cast members would be "Bianca Belair, Maxxine [Dupri] and Chelsea Green."
Nikki Bella said that since they "can't bring" all of the original members back, she would choose "Paige, Nia Jax, you, me, Nattie and Trin."
"We all are bringing something different to the table right now," she said.
The reality star suggested that Total Divas could have a revival like Sex and the City did with its sequel And Just Like That... before sending a message to Netflix directly.
"Sign us up. We got our team here. You all need to make a call live. They'll step away. They can take it," Nikki Bella said. "I really do think there's something there."
What People Are Saying
Nikki and Brie Bella's comments come several months after Total Divas was discussed on Reddit. Fans expressed their thoughts in a thread titled, "Would a Total Divas reboot be a good thing for WWE women's division?"
"Now that WWE is on Netflix, I think a reboot of Total Divas would be great to draw more people into the product," the original poster, /u/Hot-Acanthisitta5237, wrote. "Some may discount the impact Total Divas had but many of the top women in WWE today became wrestlers because of TD like Bianca Belair. It brought many fans to watching WWE again or the first time."
They added, "Reality TV is still popular on Netflix so I think it would be a great idea for those who may not watch WWE and introduce the talents to the world in a different medium."
/u/RusserStinky said in a reply with 17 upvotes: "Absolutely. The women's roster is the future of the company, and you'd be surprised how many people became regular viewers or even wrestlers because of Total Divas. Also, it was entertaining as h***."
/u/BashfulWalrus7 added in a message with 22 upvotes: "Call it something else but yeah, those inside looks into the lives of pro wrestlers can only serve to get more eyeballs on the product."
/u/10024618 shared in a comment with 11 upvotes: "Yeah it could probably work. Like you said reality TV does big numbers for Netflix and they have plenty of charismatic wrestlers on the roster who could pull it off."
