The Bellas revealed that, unlike others, they needed to meditate and pray ahead of their match. Nikki Bella detailed that both of them sought a calm mindset to get their heads in the right place.
Another pre-match ritual that the twins had was kissing each other on the cheek and slapping each other’s butts before heading out to the ring.
