After the previous episode's surprise audition of former President George W Bush on 'America's Got Talent' Season 17, the showrunners decided to surprise the judges and the audience yet again. This time around, an elaborate prank was designed with the Bella twins aka Nikki Bella and Brie Bella taking to the stage as "Duo Ragdolls".

Dressed in wacky clothes and wigs, the twins introduced themselves as Monique and Stephanie. They explained to the judges' that during the pandemic they couldn't find any performers like them on TikTok, so they decided to showcase their talents on the social media platform. They claimed that their dances were an instant hit and everybody wanted to be them. The duo then began their bizarre performance that almost immediately got a no from Simon Cowell. The audience too began boo-ing at their performance, leading to the other judges- Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Sofia Vergara hitting the no button as well. The judges began asking them what their performance was about. The Rag Dolls launched into an ugly fight while replying to the judges.
