On yesterday’s episode of SiriusXM’s The Nikki and Brie
Show, Nikki and Brie Garcia open up about stepping into the
ring to wrestle for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship
for the first time ever.
Nikki Garcia reveals that she and Brie will likely retire
after their two-year WWE contract is up and shares her hopes
for their final run. The twins also discuss their nerves and
preparation for their upcoming title match, how they’d like
to be remembered and much more.
Nikki & Brie Garcia open up about nerves & pressure of title
match (2:02-3:27)
Brie Garcia: How do you feel right now?
Nikki Garcia: You know, I feel a lot of things. Being here
for the past year, I’ve gotten to know how these women in
this era work and I have learned and have understood the
incredible competition it is in this era on both these
shows, so you know, that puts a lot of pressure on of all of
a sudden getting a title match so quickly. It creates a lot
of nerves. You know, it also has made my head just spin. I
mean, I was telling you earlier day when we were on a power
walk, I haven’t been sleeping the past few nights because I
wake up right at 3 a.m., it’s usually at 3 or 3.30, and I’m
just like thinking of all these things and thinking of
things. “Okay, this is how we can take them out,” because I
mean, also Nia Jax, Lush Legend are no joke, I mean, strong
tag team, but you and I are built in tag team. We are a tag
team that was born together and it’s incredible, and so my
mind’s been racing and I’m thinking of all these things and
how to be as prepared as possible as going in, so it’s been
a lot of emotions, but incredible emotions.
Brie Garcia: For sure. I mean, there is a difference between
when you see mental strength and physical strength, but both
are very powerful and chemistry, you know, is a powerful
thing. Alignment and there’s something we’ve been together
since the womb, since we were tiny little embryos.
Nikki Garcia says she & Brie will retire after their two-
year WWE contract is up & shares hopes for their final run
(18:57-20:46)
Nikki Garcia: For me, I don’t think you and I will ever get
that last retirement moment that John got and AJ Styles got,
let’s be honest, the men get, right? I don’t think you and I
will ever get that, but I would love to have that because I
do know that the contract that we signed, you know, we
signed a two-year deal starting Royal Rumble and for you and
I, the talks we’ve had and what I know just where I’m at,
that’s it. That will be the end for me and for us and I
would love, because I need the buttons on things, right? I
would love to have them on. I would love to put my kicks, my
snapback, my jersey right in the middle of that ring and
just give that final bow, so I don’t know if we’ll ever get
that. I don’t think we will, but is that what you were?
Brie Garcia: Yeah, I mean, if that’s what you want out of
this all. Yeah.
Nikki Garcia: Well, I just want to have such a great iconic
final run. A final run that you and I look back on and we’re
so proud of. I want the Bella Army to be stronger than ever
and you see them. They’re still there. They’re so strong,
and it’s been so fun seeing new Bella Army, old Bella Army,
Bella Army that’s had kids now that have shown up and
they’re now Bella Army and I just want to have this like, I
want to have some of my best matches. I want to have a lot
of fun, but I want to have an iconic moment where it’s like,
I could look back and go, “Damn, that was a great two years.
We did it.” I don’t want to walk away with any what ifs. I
don’t want to like, “If I only did.” I don’t want any of
that. I want to look back at these past two years that we’re
about to create and be like, “Damn, girl. We did it.”
