Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned The Bella Twins will not be taking part in the upcoming season of "Total Divas" in an effort to focus on their spin-off series "Total Bellas." 

Sources tell us Nikki and Brie Bella made the decision at the end of last season to step away from WWE's flagship reality show for the time being.

To help fill the void they'll leave behind, producers got Ronda Rousey to join the show for Season 9 -- which was first reported this morning by Squared Circle Sirens. 

We're told the rest of the cast is as follows: Sonya Deville, Carmella, Natalya, Nia Jax and Naomi. 

This means Paige joins Lana and Rusev in cast members who won't be returning next season.

FYI -- Nikki will continue to be an Executive Producer, despite not being part of the cast. 

Sound off in the comments below and tell us what you think of the new cast.
