Brianna and Nicole were signed to developmental contracts by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in June 2007 and were assigned to Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), WWE's then-developmental territory, in Tampa, Florida. On September 15, 2007, the twins made their in-ring debut. Dubbed The Bella Twins, they defeated Nattie Neidhart and Krissy Vaine with Victoria Crawford as the special guest referee. The duo quickly started a scripted rivalry with Neidhart and Crawford, and had a series of matches against them throughout October 2007. As a part of their on-screen personas, they switched places behind the referee's back if one of them was hurt. They also occasionally competed in mixed tag team matches, teaming with male wrestlers including Kofi Kingston and Robert Anthony. They also made some non-wrestling appearances on Heath Miller's Happy Hour promo segment.

Starting in December 2007, they managed Derrick Linkin,{{cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/fcw/_2007/|title=Florida Championship Wrestling (2007)|access-date=March 31, 2009|publisher=Online World of Wrestling}} but this storyline was cut short when Linkin was released in January 2008. They then resumed their feud with Neidhart and Crawford, wrestling them throughout much of 2008.{{cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/fcw/_2008/|title=Florida Championship Wrestling (2008)|access-date=March 31, 2009|publisher=Online World of Wrestling}} After Neidhart was called up to the WWE roster in April 2008, Milena Roucka took her place in the feud.{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2008/04/05/5199146.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120717114223/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2008/04/05/5199146.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=July 17, 2012|title=Smackdown: Two debuts for first Friday|date=April 5, 2008|last=Waldman|first=Jon|access-date=March 31, 2009|work=Slam!
