Our Jan/Feb cover stars are the Bella Twins, arguably the most famous female wrestlers ever, and we’re excited to share their exclusive digital covers (swipe —> to check them out!) The sisters are also sharing what it’s like to be so open all the time: “We aren’t the type to fake anything. The good, the bad, the ugly—you get it all,” says Brie. . But even if you’re an avid fan of their reality show #TotalBellas, there are a few things you might not know about the twins—like how they got their start: “Nicole and I were athletes, but we also loved to lip-synch to the Spice Girls,” says Brie. And when she found wrestling, she realized it was a mix of athleticism and entertainment. “It was everything we loved to do,” she continues. “So I persuaded Nicole to try out.” The Bellas didn’t make it into the #WWE at first but they were offered a spot in a training program, which exposed them to how physically taxing wrestling can be. “We went to this chiropractor who told us we were basically putting our bodies through a car accident every night,” says Nikki. “When you are wrestling, you almost grow this inch-or-two-thick layer of fluid to protect you.” . The next challenge came when they started to do televised matches. “In a way, that’s when I felt like we had made it. But the criticism was hard,” said Nikki. “Everyone started calling me the fat twin. It was the first time I really lost my self-confidence. Through Brie and the support of other people, I started to care more about what I thought than what other people said.” .

“The one thing I really regret about showcasing the breakup is that no one got to hear [John’s] voice, and it just seemed so one-sided,” Nikki said referring to sharing her side of the story on her reality show “Total Bellas.” “I felt like that wasn’t fair to him because he was on this journey with us from the beginning.”

“He was fully there to support me,” she continued. “I’ll never forget his support and his love. That’s what made me sad. I don’t want to say it became the Nikki show, but in a way it did because you didn’t get to see John anymore.”

Nikki’s twin sister, Brie Bella, admitted she thought the professional wrestler made a “mistake” ending the relationship. (RELATED: Nikki Bella Announces Wrestling Career Is Over: ‘Here’s To Closing One Chapter And The Next One Opening)

“I thought she made a big mistake!” Brie claimed.

“I did [think it was a mistake] for a long time because they were just such a lovely couple, and I thought they were such a perfect match,” she explained. “Because I’m married, I felt like there are ups and downs in relationships, and you work on things — you don’t just give up. But then, after the breakup, I started seeing that they both wanted different things. So then I approved of the breakup.”

Bringing Cena on the show to discuss the break up would have made the conversation more two-sided, but would have also made the whole thing more public than it already was. Nikki seemed to have made the right moves and the two have moved on and gone their separate ways.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
