Former WWE Divas Brie and Nikki Bella issued a statement on their official website addressing their WWE departure today. They said that they were taking “time away” from wrestling.

The twins, real names Brianna and Nicole Garcia, wrote:

What a whirlwind few days. As you all know by now, TwinMagic has decided to take some time away from wrestling. First and foremost, we want to thank each and every one of you for your support. We would not be where we are without the Bella Army. This beautiful chapter in our life was filled with many amazing memories, friendships and moments with you all that we will cherish. Being apart of WWE is like being apart of a family, we will always be in it.
