Background

Brianna Monique Danielson is an American professional wrestler and television personality born on November 21, 1983. She is currently working as a representative for W.W.E. She was born in San Diego, California, and raised on a farm in Scottsdale, Arizona, a Phoenix suburb. Her twin sister, Nicole, was born 16 minutes later to Jon Garcia and Kathy Colace. She is of Mexican and Italian descent. She and her sister played for the Scottsdale club in elementary school. She graduated from Chaparral High School in 2002. She then went back to college in San Diego before moving to Los Angeles a year later to work as a waitress at the Mondrian Hotel while looking for an agent.

She went on to model, act, and do promotional work. She made her first national television appearance on the Fox reality show “Meet My Folks.” Following this appearance, the Garcia twins were hired as Budweiser’s World Cup Twins and photographed with the World Cup trophy. Danielson and her sister Nikki took part in the “International Body Doubles twins search” in 2006. Danielson and Nikki later competed in the 2006 W.W.E. Diva Search but did not make the cut.

In June 2007, World Wrestling Entertainment (W.W.E.) signed Brianna and Nicole to developmental contracts and assigned them to Florida Championship Wrestling (F.C.W.), W.W.E.’s then-developmental territory, in Tampa, Florida. The twins made their ring debut on September 15, 2007. Their most recent F.C.W. appearance was on September 2, when they took part in a Divas battle royal, which Miss Angela won. The twins made their independent wrestling debut on May 1, 2012, at Northeast Wrestling in Newburgh, New York. Later, on December 15, they appeared for C.T.W.E. Pro Wrestling at the Season Beatings pay-per-view, each escorting a different wrestler to the ring.
Danielson revealed her retirement on the March 10, 2019, episode of “Total Bellas.” Danielson and her twin sister Nikki were integrated into the W.W.E. Hall of Fame during the ‘A Moment of Bliss’ segment on the February 21, 2020 edition of SmackDown. Danielson and Nikki were confirmed to compete in the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble match on January 7, 2022, episode of “Smackdown.”
