Speaker 1 (00:25):
Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Welcome to the battle Ground battles let the.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I gotta tell you this is actually pretty cool for me.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Because in studio right now I have two women who
not only just became stars in the ww but they've
also changed the game, helped open doors for an entire generation,
and somehow in the middle of all that built an
empire with Total Divas and Total Bella's motherhood business now
of course, Benita Beanita. And with that being said, welcome in.
(01:06):
I'm trying not to get cursed. The Bella clones, I'm
the Bella Twins are in studio with us right now.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
How are you guys doing? Oh, we're doing good. We're Inville.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
We're here with you. Yeah, we're having We're having a
lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Life is good.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I mean I was following along on social media watching
all the fun you guys were having last night you
were at all red and posties, and just seeing the
long line on social media people showing up to hang
out with you, wrestling fans, wine connoisseurs. Now, I gotta
tell you, I am not much of a wine guy.
I'm more of a whiskey kind of bourbon kind of guy.
(01:43):
So how do you convince somebody like me to pour
a glass of uh, you know, Benita, Benita gosh.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Well, I feel like it would have to be with
us in Napa Valley, Okay, and we'd have to Nashville
or in Nashville. You're right me, Yeah, but I mean
to really give you the vibes, the feeling, well, and
I would say we'd have to do bubbles, little har bit.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
See. I feel like there's a lot of people like
you here in Nashville that love their bourbon and whiskey
and all that, and so you appreciate a good palette,
and you.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Do you like food? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Absolutely, Okay, So I would look at it as like, Okay,
so I'm here in Nashville and I have this experience,
and you know what, I'm craving this food and I
want to pair it not with my typical whisky or bourbon,
me pair it with a good.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Glass of wine.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
And it's like starting there, you know, just have a
little little red good yeah, you know, dot and pairing
and then you're like, Okay, I'm kind of feeling good
because you know, for us wine, as we all know,
a wine.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Buzz is like one of the greatest uzzes.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Well that's what I'm saying that because I was saying
thinking wine tasting is always like the best way for
someone who doesn't enjoy wine get into wine.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Just get a little taste, all right. Now, I will
tell you this.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I did have some wine a while back, and it
was canned wine, and we did this thing where they're like, oh,
you got a shotgun it. They didn't tell they didn't
tell me that in side, this canned wine was actually
an entire content of a bottle and a half and
I did it was like a twelve ounce can and
I shotgunned it. And I was like, what is happening?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
And did you have the worst hangover? It was awful, awful, awful. No,
you can't ever do that.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Well, And I thought, well, they're like, oh you could
shotgun a beer, so shotgun this can of wine being cool,
I thought, ah, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
No, they read like your turn off of it. Yeah,
I get Yeah, that's terrible choice. Wine can't wine can
ever be checked?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
And I learned that the hard way.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yes, right now, sticking with the wine topic, if you
had to name your next bottle after the most iconic
Belatwin's moment, what moment gets the label?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Oh that's wow?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Right, I mean I would I would say probably like
it would be the Hall of Fame wine. You know,
we'd have to think maybe be like a Hall of Famer, yeah,
or something with the word word divas yeah. Right, yeah,
And when you think of a moment, I mean the
hall of Fame moment's good.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
But I mean I could think individually if we had
our own bottles, so one together we would do would
be like hall of Fame, yeah, you know, and then
for me would be like longest reigning Davis Champion.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, I like or.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I I'm kind of thinking okay that it would be
for when NICKI turned on me a Summer Slam and
joined the authority.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
I would have to think of like, there's always that
one in the family, you know, that'd be the back label.
And then it would have to be like a really
good red blend because a lot of families have that one.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Well, so mine would be bubbles because obviously mine's about celebrations, work.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Moment making history.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
And my label would look like when Alicia Foxenbree were
lifting me up on the shoulders and I was going
like this to Charlotte well Flare's Rick and Art and
then Becky and Page, you know, rubbing in their face
that I just became the long stream to uest champion
of all time and w B, So should we do
a tripack try pack Hall of Famer.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I think those are good collector's edition and you know
they start up great debates. Absolutely, and that's all about
wine experience conversations.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I think we just created some new wines that so,
you know, it's awesome to see how things have have
changed with today's women's division in ww right, main events,
longer matches, bigger stories. Do y'all ever look back at
that and think, yeah, we help build this.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I mean, you definitely look and you're like, wow, I
had a part of this path that is where the
women are at today.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And obviously we know, like there's so many.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Of us that contributed to that path, but it is
incredible to know and to be in the locker room
now and you know, see what the girls like are
doing and just knowing at one point we're in a
locker room wishing for all this and but now you
know here we are, so yeah, we definitely do oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
It's always a pinch me moment. And I feel as
women a lot of women who have not only have.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Created history wherever part of the world that they're in
our industry, but I think of women of the past
who have paved the road and they never usually get
to see that road I don't want to say finish,
but like where it comes to life. So I always
feel so grateful that I got to be a part
of a road that was paved and I get to
(06:38):
actually now be in it. I get to experience these
different things, you know. I think of women who fought
hard for us to vote and never probably got to
vote a day in their life.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
They were already you know, had passed on.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
So I feel so blessed in that way to see
it only when I've watched it, But now that I'm
backing get to be a part of it, I'm like that.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Doesn't always happen for women like Guess at all.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And speaking of somebody else who also
has helped the new generation of wrestlers, we recently had
Natty on the show and we had a conversation with
her about bringing back Total Divas and she said she
wants to bring it back, she wants to spearheaded. Listeners
were all commenting on who they should bring back. Obviously,
of course your names have been broughten up. If that
(07:20):
call came in tomorrow, are you in to bring back
Total Divas well.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
We've had conversations about it for years about bringing it back,
and we've always.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Pushed hard for that because it.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Really helped the women not only showcase what they can
do in and out of the ring, but it gave
our voices such a big platform. And so I feel like,
now what the women are doing Total Divas is a
perfect time for it to be back and to showcase
what these women are doing, how they're delivering. And I
want to know what some of them are doing inside
outside the ring. If they were to call, I mean,
(07:57):
we are back right now, so you know it? Yeah,
you know they might be a yes so and yeah,
you know no, I'm like, what's the age difference?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Drama might be a little.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Different because I think a lot of fans are wanting
to see that, especially with most recently some of the
girls posting their Coachella experiences and you see all them
together and it seems like everybody is there for everybody,
So it'd be.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
A fun little thing to bring back Total Divas, bring
back Total.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
We've talked about this, and I'll be honest, A pushed
hard for both Divas and Bella's in their own ways
to come back because I do feel like they're different
shows than Unreal.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
We are more.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Docu follow in a series and we're more docu soap,
and that's they're more documentary based in showing.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
You know, They're just different, and so I.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Do feel like because the girls, there's different groups and
they all have fun, and it would and then it's competitive,
and I think there's drama, and there is drama, so
we wouldn't even have to write about that.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
It just happened and it was so great too.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
For fans to connect with us in our personal lives
and then just know our backstories. And then when they
saw us go out to the ring, I felt like
they appreciated more of like knowing the hard times we
were going through, yeah, and how we pull it together
to go, you know, to walk through grilling and get
to that ring. And so I mean, I think there's
a mess if they don't do it, And there's so
many girls I know that would love to do it
(09:30):
that it would be really fun. Well, we were even
chatting that like Total Divas should be like so much
about the new and then obviously need some ogs there,
but Total Bella is with the ogs would be really
cool because our famise is still so strong. But to
see the evolution of the ogs, so Trin, Natty, even Eva,
(09:50):
a few of the other girls who you know, Page Naya.
When we all were chatting and we'll send each other
photos that pop up in our phone, I'm like, how
is this fourteen years ago?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah? I was like Paige tea time.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
In London, like that was fourteen years So I think
it would be really great because we still have that
reality fan base and I think it would be really
cool for them to also see you think, how many
of us become moms and entrepreneurs and are doing so
many different things but also making returns. I mean, think
of before Naomi got pregnant, she was I mean doing
so many incredible things and now you can see her
(10:24):
being a mom and can you imagine her? And it
was so like weird to get that inside look of
them as parents together, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And then I think it's kind of cool what Arion's.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Doing in her own way with wrestling and how she's
evolved in her own career. I think there's a lot
there and people were really connected and invested in those ogs.
And I think, you know, Eva getting divorced, Like I
want to know the tea there and I want to
watch so I think I've been there a little bit.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Like so old and new, old and new, old and
old and new.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
And I think we get a little glimpse of you know,
Tota bellis total bell. Excuse me when we sit there
and watch social media, because we're getting behind the scenes
of all these Benita Benita signings that you guys are doing. Yeah,
how fun is that getting to do these signings and
meeting not only wrestling fans but Winos as well.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Oh my gosh, it's a trip because we'll have like
a conversation about WrestleMania with someone and then the next
person we're.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Having like a conversation about this incredible winery.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
In Italy and like wines and yeah, but we love it,
like we love the fact that two of our biggest
passions in our lives can actually come together.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Who would have thought of wrestling and wine? And how
many wrestling fans we brought into wine. Yeah, and they
love it because it is a fun experience, and we
make sure what they love is when they come into
our tasting room, they're either gonna we have, you know,
our premium wine, which Napa Valley Wine is very premium.
But then we've also been on a hunt for over
(11:50):
eight years. I'm finding a very formal wine. But that
still tastes greatcause Bellas don't drink shit, like, no, don't.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
They can't sell it, so won't.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
And that's like our new wine that's taken over Las
Vegas now taking over Nashville. It's Bonita Bonita by Nicki
and Brie, and we have three viritals our chardonnay right here.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It got rated ninety points do you know how hard.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
It is to get ninety points this or now you
can get at Sam's Club for twelve dollars and total
wine no more.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I think it's about like eighteen nineteen.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
But we really were on a hunt for like good
wine that was affordable and it's our.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Cabernet got eighty nine points.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Our kuve is like almost sold out because Vegas WrestleMania
everyone was drinking it. Now Nashville wants it. We're about
to head into some other states.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
But yeah, so cool.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Now you mentioned WrestleMania, and y'all have had some massive
moments at WrestleMania. I want to go behind that curtain,
talk about being in Gorilla standing there right before your
music hits. Is there one moment that stands out to
either of you all your WrestleMania moments?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Wow, I mean gosh, I mean it's hard because they're
all so different and just being a part of a
big one this past WrestleMania, you know, with Nikki breaking
her ankle two weeks before.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Us kind of being like what are we going to do?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah, because there was a lot of things that were
going on, Like I was like, should I just sit
out with Niki until she gets better and come back
with her. You know, like we were thinking like would
you know, we both like, would Page do it?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Can she do it?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Like there's so many two weeks sounds like a lot
of times, it's really not a lot. So I feel
like that being in that moment just recently at WrestleMania
forty two, And it was really cool because right before
we walked out see him, Punk literally was standing, I mean,
our music's about to hit, and he said some really
cool stuff to NICKI like just you know, like what
(13:44):
you're doing is incredible, Like it's hard to you know,
be this like where we're at and you're just like,
come take my spot, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
So it was like.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Having that and then also in our music's anymore, like
hugging him and we're like okay, and then just knowing
Page is about to come out and everyone's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Surprised, Like it was me super emotional.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yeah, And I shouldn't even say medically, right, I think
I messed it up, even though the echo whatever tells
you about the echo and stadiums. It's like I was
talking to myself. The words were hitting me back in
the face and I was like, wait, why.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Wasn't I warned so emotional right now?
Speaker 4 (14:17):
But yeah, so that one was It was really neat
because I think there was just so many moving parts
and everything was moving fast.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
So I felt like that was really well.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
And you never that one because you never know if
you're gonna have that moment again, I would say though.
Also when we came out together and went up against
AJM Page, we finally had gotten an entrance at WrestleMania,
so that one felt really cool. And then our first
one when we were in the Battle Royal and Kid
Rock performed and like and then you divas are gonna
come out like I remember that being.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Like, oh my god, I made it like that one
felt so cool. We were wearing like artwork pretty much.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Remember, we were just so pumped and we were like,
I wanted it to look like art And when you
think of everyone that was in that ring at that time, who.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Is that one was? Really? Always remember that one and
afterwards that was one of the best.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
That was easily one of the ever. Yeah, and they
don't do that anymore. They stopped doing it for a
long long time.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Now. You mentioned Page being a part of wrestlmating with
you guys. Of course, a lot of fans super excited
about that. What was that phone call like getting her
back into the fold of everything?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I remember like texting her and it was like I
was just texting her like fill her out, like see
where she's at, and we've always kept in touch, like
she's just one of our closest friends.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
And she was like hell, yeah this like you guys
need me. I'm there, but you know, obviously you have
to go through a process.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
But I mean from the moment like we reached out
to the end, it was like she was stoked.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Like she's she's wanted.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
She was kind of like me where we were wanting
to come back for a while, but it seemed like
an absolute no and kind of I think we both
heard she would make jokes. I got a phone call, yeah,
because you guys were texting, but like I wasn't a
part of that. And then right before I literally landed
in Birmingham to get surgery.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
But remember Paul, he.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Was texting me in air and he goes, hey, I
really need to talk to you, and I was like, oh,
I don't land. I had just taken off from Newark
to like head to Birmingham. I'm like, I think I'm
in air for like three hours. I don't rememberhim texting
me like have you landed yet? And I'm like, oh,
he has something important to say. But Bri and Paige
had been communicating more like that. She was already in Birmingham,
and then he called me and he's like, so, let
me know how you feel like.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
He totally gave me the option of like.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Page is available to take your place, and he really
teed it up and I agreed that would be the
one person that would.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Make it so meaningful and blah blah blah and all
the things. Jagreed. He's like, if you want to say no,
I mean that's up to you. And I was like, no, that's.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
That is the one person actually that would make the
moment feel super iconic. She's like her sister, we have
incredible chemistry and Page is a massive superstar, like massive
star superstars.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
So it was perfect. It was perfect.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
You know, it was crazy, you know when they say
like sometimes stars align, Paige, when Nicky was flying to Birmingham,
Page was actually there.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
How wee is that getting getting cleared?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
It was randomly it was all, you know, because I
even told her. She's like, well, what are we thinking?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
And I go, well, I don't know, Nicki's on her
way to get surgery in Birmingham.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
She's like, I'm in Birmingham. I'm like wait what.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
So it was like all just you know what I mean,
it was crazy, Not that I want to say it
was meant to be, because what it was weird because
you two were.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Like starting to chat just by yourselves.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Yeah, and then all then Paul like calls me with
his same thoughts, but they were like no one ever
talk no one talked yet.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, it was wild. It was I guess it was
meant to be, meant to.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Be stars aligning.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
What a What an interesting story for sure.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Speaking of interesting, I mentioned.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
His name earlier, Dan Housen. How hard is it not
to break character when he's around, because I'm sure you've
had to shoot so many social media videos over when
he walks up and calls you bella.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Clones, Oh yeah, my god, Like we naturally, from the
first time we did someone with them, we have like
you know, there's just somebody work with you have like
great chemistry with so with him off the bat we
did and it was really funny because of the whole
Bella Clones thing, but it is it's hard, like but
I love it.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
It's like you have to stay.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Serious and you're just like mm hmmm, and then he's
doing this thing and you're like.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Yeah, and you kind of have to go with it.
It's not like all perfectly planned. No, yeah, you don't
know really what he's going to say. You just have
an idea what might happen, but you never know which
way he's going to go, so you kind of just
lean into it.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
He is so great.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
He is, He's so talented, and we've we had so much.
We've been having so much fun with I mean, the
whole pulling the hair and making the I.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Mean, what can I say?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
We you know, we were part of getting his partner
from Honestly, he needs to. He got the win because
he has some that he had some Bella blood in
my I mean, he picked a good hair that DNA.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
What a fun time for sure.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I Mean every time I see it and he says
Bella Clones, I'm like, I don't see how you cannot
laugh at the time.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
It's like the greatest thing ever making me love like
hearing it, I'm like maybe I should.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Be, and he gives me like what I have like
been missing so much. A part of our product is
those colorful characters. So he's been I think, just such
a bus scene of showing the fans are loving him,
and it just shows like we are missing those kind
of characters. Like Santino was to show up right now,
we'd all be like in heaven because he would just
(19:37):
bring that moment of lasterers that would get you do.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
And you just laugh about it all week and you're like,
you know that was that was really good?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Yeah, I love that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Now we just need Bella Clones T shirts and then
we'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Honestly, I mean we really do. So that'll be our
next test. Really good idea.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Well, I think like Brein needs to show up with
like clones at one point or like he does something
and be funny.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
If like two Bella Twins.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Like pop out, yes, but if they like a lot
of fun to be But if they kind of just
walk by us and we're like, we're like.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Exactly, They're like walking by.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Exactly, that would be hilarious.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Now the Bellot Twins are hanging out here with us.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Right now in studio now.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
A while back, we had Naya and Lash Legend on
the show, and we always have fun with our guests.
We say, hey, if you could FaceTime anybody, who would
you want to call? They immediately called you, guys, is
there somebody on your phone right now that you could
call that if we FaceTime then they would actually answer.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
What do you think? Because it's because everyone's traveling right now?
Let me see? The only one I think of is
why don't you FaceTime Page?
Speaker 4 (20:51):

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Well, I know that our time is limited here, so
before I let you go, and you know, since I'm
still trying to be a wine guy, if I'm opening
up a bottle of beanita banita.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah, what do I need to have on the music
playlist to enjoy a glass? So it's a very good question.
We are lumineer girls.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
We love the lumineers, so we like we like when
we're having our wine. Well, actually we go both ways
because I well go Frank Sinatra and so we go
two different ways. But we like music with good lyrics,
like we need to feel something because that's.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
When you're having your wine. Yeah, and it has to
be kind of mild.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
But enough to like kind of get like you going
in the mood, but nothing too loud or crazy.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
So I'm gonna go a little different right now because
we're Nashville. Oh but because we just interviewed Fillmore and
hearing Fillmore and pipples yeehaw, little yeehaw, my glass.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
So that's we shotgun wine, we get our yew. That
might be after the first bottle. We'll play exactly exactly.
We're gonna start with like elephants jo and then we'll
make our way.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
We will start yeah small, and then after you know,
we have three glasses and then we get our yeeha, you.

Welcome to the battle Ground battles let the.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I gotta tell you this is actually pretty cool for me.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Because in studio right now I have two women who
not only just became stars in the ww but they've
also changed the game, helped open doors for an entire generation,
and somehow in the middle of all that built an
empire with Total Divas and Total Bella's motherhood business now
of course, Benita Beanita. And with that being said, welcome in.
(01:06):
I'm trying not to get cursed. The Bella clones, I'm
the Bella Twins are in studio with us right now.

How are you guys doing? Oh, we're doing good. We're Inville.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
We're here with you. Yeah, we're having We're having a
lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Life is good.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I mean I was following along on social media watching
all the fun you guys were having last night you
were at all red and posties, and just seeing the
long line on social media people showing up to hang
out with you, wrestling fans, wine connoisseurs. Now, I gotta
tell you, I am not much of a wine guy.
I'm more of a whiskey kind of bourbon kind of guy.
(01:43):
So how do you convince somebody like me to pour
a glass of uh, you know, Benita, Benita gosh.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Well, I feel like it would have to be with
us in Napa Valley, Okay, and we'd have to Nashville
or in Nashville. You're right me, Yeah, but I mean
to really give you the vibes, the feeling, well, and
I would say we'd have to do bubbles, little har bit.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
See. I feel like there's a lot of people like
you here in Nashville that love their bourbon and whiskey
and all that, and so you appreciate a good palette,
and you.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Do you like food? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Absolutely, Okay, So I would look at it as like, Okay,
so I'm here in Nashville and I have this experience,
and you know what, I'm craving this food and I
want to pair it not with my typical whisky or bourbon,
me pair it with a good.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Glass of wine.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
And it's like starting there, you know, just have a
little little red good yeah, you know, dot and pairing
and then you're like, Okay, I'm kind of feeling good
because you know, for us wine, as we all know,
a wine.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Buzz is like one of the greatest uzzes.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Well that's what I'm saying that because I was saying
thinking wine tasting is always like the best way for
someone who doesn't enjoy wine get into wine.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Just get a little taste, all right. Now, I will
tell you this.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I did have some wine a while back, and it
was canned wine, and we did this thing where they're like, oh,
you got a shotgun it. They didn't tell they didn't
tell me that in side, this canned wine was actually
an entire content of a bottle and a half and
I did it was like a twelve ounce can and
I shotgunned it. And I was like, what is happening?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
And did you have the worst hangover? It was awful, awful, awful. No,
you can't ever do that.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Well, And I thought, well, they're like, oh you could
shotgun a beer, so shotgun this can of wine being cool,
I thought, ah, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
No, they read like your turn off of it. Yeah,
I get Yeah, that's terrible choice. Wine can't wine can
ever be checked?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
And I learned that the hard way.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yes, right now, sticking with the wine topic, if you
had to name your next bottle after the most iconic
Belatwin's moment, what moment gets the label?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Oh that's wow?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Right, I mean I would I would say probably like
it would be the Hall of Fame wine. You know,
we'd have to think maybe be like a Hall of Famer, yeah,
or something with the word word divas yeah. Right, yeah,
And when you think of a moment, I mean the
hall of Fame moment's good.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
But I mean I could think individually if we had
our own bottles, so one together we would do would
be like hall of Fame, yeah, you know, and then
for me would be like longest reigning Davis Champion.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, I like or.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I I'm kind of thinking okay that it would be
for when NICKI turned on me a Summer Slam and
joined the authority.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
I would have to think of like, there's always that
one in the family, you know, that'd be the back label.
And then it would have to be like a really
good red blend because a lot of families have that one.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Well, so mine would be bubbles because obviously mine's about celebrations, work.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Moment making history.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
And my label would look like when Alicia Foxenbree were
lifting me up on the shoulders and I was going
like this to Charlotte well Flare's Rick and Art and
then Becky and Page, you know, rubbing in their face
that I just became the long stream to uest champion
of all time and w B, So should we do
a tripack try pack Hall of Famer.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I think those are good collector's edition and you know
they start up great debates. Absolutely, and that's all about
wine experience conversations.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I think we just created some new wines that so,
you know, it's awesome to see how things have have
changed with today's women's division in ww right, main events,
longer matches, bigger stories. Do y'all ever look back at
that and think, yeah, we help build this.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I mean, you definitely look and you're like, wow, I
had a part of this path that is where the
women are at today.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And obviously we know, like there's so many.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Of us that contributed to that path, but it is
incredible to know and to be in the locker room
now and you know, see what the girls like are
doing and just knowing at one point we're in a
locker room wishing for all this and but now you
know here we are, so yeah, we definitely do oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
It's always a pinch me moment. And I feel as
women a lot of women who have not only have.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Created history wherever part of the world that they're in
our industry, but I think of women of the past
who have paved the road and they never usually get
to see that road I don't want to say finish,
but like where it comes to life. So I always
feel so grateful that I got to be a part
of a road that was paved and I get to
(06:38):
actually now be in it. I get to experience these
different things, you know. I think of women who fought
hard for us to vote and never probably got to
vote a day in their life.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
They were already you know, had passed on.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
So I feel so blessed in that way to see
it only when I've watched it, But now that I'm
backing get to be a part of it, I'm like that.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Doesn't always happen for women like Guess at all.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And speaking of somebody else who also
has helped the new generation of wrestlers, we recently had
Natty on the show and we had a conversation with
her about bringing back Total Divas and she said she
wants to bring it back, she wants to spearheaded. Listeners
were all commenting on who they should bring back. Obviously,
of course your names have been broughten up. If that
(07:20):
call came in tomorrow, are you in to bring back
Total Divas well.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
We've had conversations about it for years about bringing it back,
and we've always.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Pushed hard for that because it.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Really helped the women not only showcase what they can
do in and out of the ring, but it gave
our voices such a big platform. And so I feel like,
now what the women are doing Total Divas is a
perfect time for it to be back and to showcase
what these women are doing, how they're delivering. And I
want to know what some of them are doing inside
outside the ring. If they were to call, I mean,
(07:57):
we are back right now, so you know it? Yeah,
you know they might be a yes so and yeah,
you know no, I'm like, what's the age difference?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Drama might be a little.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Different because I think a lot of fans are wanting
to see that, especially with most recently some of the
girls posting their Coachella experiences and you see all them
together and it seems like everybody is there for everybody,
So it'd be.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
A fun little thing to bring back Total Divas, bring
back Total.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
We've talked about this, and I'll be honest, A pushed
hard for both Divas and Bella's in their own ways
to come back because I do feel like they're different
shows than Unreal.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
We are more.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Docu follow in a series and we're more docu soap,
and that's they're more documentary based in showing.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
You know, They're just different, and so I.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Do feel like because the girls, there's different groups and
they all have fun, and it would and then it's competitive,
and I think there's drama, and there is drama, so
we wouldn't even have to write about that.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
It just happened and it was so great too.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
For fans to connect with us in our personal lives
and then just know our backstories. And then when they
saw us go out to the ring, I felt like
they appreciated more of like knowing the hard times we
were going through, yeah, and how we pull it together
to go, you know, to walk through grilling and get
to that ring. And so I mean, I think there's
a mess if they don't do it, And there's so
many girls I know that would love to do it
(09:30):
that it would be really fun. Well, we were even
chatting that like Total Divas should be like so much
about the new and then obviously need some ogs there,
but Total Bella is with the ogs would be really
cool because our famise is still so strong. But to
see the evolution of the ogs, so Trin, Natty, even Eva,
(09:50):
a few of the other girls who you know, Page Naya.
When we all were chatting and we'll send each other
photos that pop up in our phone, I'm like, how
is this fourteen years ago?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah? I was like Paige tea time.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
In London, like that was fourteen years So I think
it would be really great because we still have that
reality fan base and I think it would be really
cool for them to also see you think, how many
of us become moms and entrepreneurs and are doing so
many different things but also making returns. I mean, think
of before Naomi got pregnant, she was I mean doing
so many incredible things and now you can see her
(10:24):
being a mom and can you imagine her? And it
was so like weird to get that inside look of
them as parents together, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And then I think it's kind of cool what Arion's.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Doing in her own way with wrestling and how she's
evolved in her own career. I think there's a lot
there and people were really connected and invested in those ogs.
And I think, you know, Eva getting divorced, Like I
want to know the tea there and I want to
watch so I think I've been there a little bit.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Like so old and new, old and new, old and
old and new.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
And I think we get a little glimpse of you know,
Tota bellis total bell. Excuse me when we sit there
and watch social media, because we're getting behind the scenes
of all these Benita Benita signings that you guys are doing. Yeah,
how fun is that getting to do these signings and
meeting not only wrestling fans but Winos as well.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Oh my gosh, it's a trip because we'll have like
a conversation about WrestleMania with someone and then the next
person we're.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Having like a conversation about this incredible winery.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
In Italy and like wines and yeah, but we love it,
like we love the fact that two of our biggest
passions in our lives can actually come together.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Who would have thought of wrestling and wine? And how
many wrestling fans we brought into wine. Yeah, and they
love it because it is a fun experience, and we
make sure what they love is when they come into
our tasting room, they're either gonna we have, you know,
our premium wine, which Napa Valley Wine is very premium.
But then we've also been on a hunt for over
(11:50):
eight years. I'm finding a very formal wine. But that
still tastes greatcause Bellas don't drink shit, like, no, don't.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
They can't sell it, so won't.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
And that's like our new wine that's taken over Las
Vegas now taking over Nashville. It's Bonita Bonita by Nicki
and Brie, and we have three viritals our chardonnay right here.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It got rated ninety points do you know how hard.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
It is to get ninety points this or now you
can get at Sam's Club for twelve dollars and total
wine no more.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I think it's about like eighteen nineteen.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
But we really were on a hunt for like good
wine that was affordable and it's our.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Cabernet got eighty nine points.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Our kuve is like almost sold out because Vegas WrestleMania
everyone was drinking it. Now Nashville wants it. We're about
to head into some other states.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
But yeah, so cool.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Now you mentioned WrestleMania, and y'all have had some massive
moments at WrestleMania. I want to go behind that curtain,
talk about being in Gorilla standing there right before your
music hits. Is there one moment that stands out to
either of you all your WrestleMania moments?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Wow, I mean gosh, I mean it's hard because they're
all so different and just being a part of a
big one this past WrestleMania, you know, with Nikki breaking
her ankle two weeks before.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Us kind of being like what are we going to do?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah, because there was a lot of things that were
going on, Like I was like, should I just sit
out with Niki until she gets better and come back
with her. You know, like we were thinking like would
you know, we both like, would Page do it?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Can she do it?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Like there's so many two weeks sounds like a lot
of times, it's really not a lot. So I feel
like that being in that moment just recently at WrestleMania
forty two, And it was really cool because right before
we walked out see him, Punk literally was standing, I mean,
our music's about to hit, and he said some really
cool stuff to NICKI like just you know, like what
(13:44):
you're doing is incredible, Like it's hard to you know,
be this like where we're at and you're just like,
come take my spot, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
So it was like.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Having that and then also in our music's anymore, like
hugging him and we're like okay, and then just knowing
Page is about to come out and everyone's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Surprised, Like it was me super emotional.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yeah, And I shouldn't even say medically, right, I think
I messed it up, even though the echo whatever tells
you about the echo and stadiums. It's like I was
talking to myself. The words were hitting me back in
the face and I was like, wait, why.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Wasn't I warned so emotional right now?
Speaker 4 (14:17):
But yeah, so that one was It was really neat
because I think there was just so many moving parts
and everything was moving fast.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
So I felt like that was really well.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
And you never that one because you never know if
you're gonna have that moment again, I would say though.
Also when we came out together and went up against
AJM Page, we finally had gotten an entrance at WrestleMania,
so that one felt really cool. And then our first
one when we were in the Battle Royal and Kid
Rock performed and like and then you divas are gonna
come out like I remember that being.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Like, oh my god, I made it like that one
felt so cool. We were wearing like artwork pretty much.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Remember, we were just so pumped and we were like,
I wanted it to look like art And when you
think of everyone that was in that ring at that time, who.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Is that one was? Really? Always remember that one and
afterwards that was one of the best.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
That was easily one of the ever. Yeah, and they
don't do that anymore. They stopped doing it for a
long long time.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Now. You mentioned Page being a part of wrestlmating with
you guys. Of course, a lot of fans super excited
about that. What was that phone call like getting her
back into the fold of everything?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I remember like texting her and it was like I
was just texting her like fill her out, like see
where she's at, and we've always kept in touch, like
she's just one of our closest friends.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
And she was like hell, yeah this like you guys
need me. I'm there, but you know, obviously you have
to go through a process.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
But I mean from the moment like we reached out
to the end, it was like she was stoked.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Like she's she's wanted.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
She was kind of like me where we were wanting
to come back for a while, but it seemed like
an absolute no and kind of I think we both
heard she would make jokes. I got a phone call, yeah,
because you guys were texting, but like I wasn't a
part of that. And then right before I literally landed
in Birmingham to get surgery.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
But remember Paul, he.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Was texting me in air and he goes, hey, I
really need to talk to you, and I was like, oh,
I don't land. I had just taken off from Newark
to like head to Birmingham. I'm like, I think I'm
in air for like three hours. I don't rememberhim texting
me like have you landed yet? And I'm like, oh,
he has something important to say. But Bri and Paige
had been communicating more like that. She was already in Birmingham,
and then he called me and he's like, so, let
me know how you feel like.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
He totally gave me the option of like.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Page is available to take your place, and he really
teed it up and I agreed that would be the
one person that would.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Make it so meaningful and blah blah blah and all
the things. Jagreed. He's like, if you want to say no,
I mean that's up to you. And I was like, no, that's.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
That is the one person actually that would make the
moment feel super iconic. She's like her sister, we have
incredible chemistry and Page is a massive superstar, like massive
star superstars.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
So it was perfect. It was perfect.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
You know, it was crazy, you know when they say
like sometimes stars align, Paige, when Nicky was flying to Birmingham,
Page was actually there.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
How wee is that getting getting cleared?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
It was randomly it was all, you know, because I
even told her. She's like, well, what are we thinking?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
And I go, well, I don't know, Nicki's on her
way to get surgery in Birmingham.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
She's like, I'm in Birmingham. I'm like wait what.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
So it was like all just you know what I mean,
it was crazy, Not that I want to say it
was meant to be, because what it was weird because
you two were.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Like starting to chat just by yourselves.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Yeah, and then all then Paul like calls me with
his same thoughts, but they were like no one ever
talk no one talked yet.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, it was wild. It was I guess it was
meant to be, meant to.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Be stars aligning.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
What a What an interesting story for sure.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Speaking of interesting, I mentioned.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
His name earlier, Dan Housen. How hard is it not
to break character when he's around, because I'm sure you've
had to shoot so many social media videos over when
he walks up and calls you bella.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Clones, Oh yeah, my god, Like we naturally, from the
first time we did someone with them, we have like
you know, there's just somebody work with you have like
great chemistry with so with him off the bat we
did and it was really funny because of the whole
Bella Clones thing, but it is it's hard, like but
I love it.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
It's like you have to stay.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Serious and you're just like mm hmmm, and then he's
doing this thing and you're like.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Yeah, and you kind of have to go with it.
It's not like all perfectly planned. No, yeah, you don't
know really what he's going to say. You just have
an idea what might happen, but you never know which
way he's going to go, so you kind of just
lean into it.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
He is so great.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
He is, He's so talented, and we've we had so much.
We've been having so much fun with I mean, the
whole pulling the hair and making the I.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Mean, what can I say?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
We you know, we were part of getting his partner
from Honestly, he needs to. He got the win because
he has some that he had some Bella blood in
my I mean, he picked a good hair that DNA.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
What a fun time for sure.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I Mean every time I see it and he says
Bella Clones, I'm like, I don't see how you cannot
laugh at the time.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
It's like the greatest thing ever making me love like
hearing it, I'm like maybe I should.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Be, and he gives me like what I have like
been missing so much. A part of our product is
those colorful characters. So he's been I think, just such
a bus scene of showing the fans are loving him,
and it just shows like we are missing those kind
of characters. Like Santino was to show up right now,
we'd all be like in heaven because he would just
(19:37):
bring that moment of lasterers that would get you do.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
And you just laugh about it all week and you're like,
you know that was that was really good?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Yeah, I love that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Now we just need Bella Clones T shirts and then
we'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Honestly, I mean we really do. So that'll be our
next test. Really good idea.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Well, I think like Brein needs to show up with
like clones at one point or like he does something
and be funny.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
If like two Bella Twins.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Like pop out, yes, but if they like a lot
of fun to be But if they kind of just
walk by us and we're like, we're like.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Exactly, They're like walking by.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Exactly, that would be hilarious.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Now the Bellot Twins are hanging out here with us.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Right now in studio now.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
A while back, we had Naya and Lash Legend on
the show, and we always have fun with our guests.
We say, hey, if you could FaceTime anybody, who would
you want to call? They immediately called you, guys, is
there somebody on your phone right now that you could
call that if we FaceTime then they would actually answer.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
What do you think? Because it's because everyone's traveling right now?
Let me see? The only one I think of is
why don't you FaceTime Page?
Speaker 4 (20:51):

Speaker 4 (20:53):
Everyone flies today because SmackDown tomorrow. That's right, because I'm
on a fight here soon. Let me see.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
You know, though, I feel like if you were to
FaceTime Dolph Ziggler, he would answer.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Making things happen on the show this morning, Nick Nemeth,
I should say yeah, okay, but it has to be.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yah.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
We don't want to text and let him know it's surprised.
Will he answer?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Let's see, but also make sure the background Yeah, I will.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Here we go call him, Nick neme.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Is he going to answer or we go to voicemail?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I mean, we know he's not traveling today, Nick, He's
probably gonna workout.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah, But is it like in his backyard. Wow. Wow,
that's actually shocking. I thought here for sure, I answered
her beat Thanks a lot, Nick, you just ruined the
band so disappointing, like always disappointment. Oh my gosh.

playlist to enjoy a glass? So it's a very good question.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
We love the lumineers, so we like we like when
we're having our wine. Well, actually we go both ways
because I well go Frank Sinatra and so we go
two different ways. But we like music with good lyrics,
like we need to feel something because that's.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
When you're having your wine. Yeah, and it has to
be kind of mild.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
But enough to like kind of get like you going
in the mood, but nothing too loud or crazy.

we have three glasses and then we get our yeeha, you.

the studio with us right now before we let you go,
because I know you guys got other things to do. Uh,
