Nikki and Brie Bella allegedly asked for more TV time
Freddie Prinze Jr. recently stated that Brie Bella and Nikki Bella were on the verge of walking out on WWE earlier in their careers. Speaking on his Wrestling With Freddie podcast, former WWE writer Prinze Jr. recalled how Brie Bella once contacted John Laurinaitis about The Bella Twins’ status. She warned WWE’s Head of Talent Relations that she and Nikki Bella were prepared to leave if their situation did not change.
“He [WWE producer Michael Hayes] was the one that ran into the room when we were about to lose them,” Prinze Jr. said. “Because Brie Bella called John Laurinaitis and was like, ‘Look, our contracts are up. Put us on TV or we’re gone.’ John Laurinaitis calls Freebird [Hayes] and is like, ‘You gotta find a way to get the twins on television right now.’ Freebird runs in the writers’ room, he’s like, ‘We got twins! We gotta get them on TV!’”
