Nikki and Brie Bella- better known as The Bella Twins. Between the two of them, they have been three time WWE Diva Champions, with Nikki having a reign of 301 days - the longest in the titles history. They are also recognized as having helped to usher in the 'Women's Revolution' in the WWE, where the company gave more TV time and higher-profile storylines to its top female performers.
