For viewers who've tuned in to Total Divas and Total Bellas, they often see Brie Bella counseling her sister.
Brie and Nikki often sat down for heart-to-heart talks with Brie advising Nikki on her personal life. Brie's caring and protective attitude would lead one to believe that she's the oldest twin, however that's not true.
