Both sisters have been working hard in the gym since forgoing their fifth year in college last month.
The Cavinders’ are social media stars and played for the Miami Hurricanes last season after leaving Fresno State.
They were key players during March Madness as the Hurricanes reached the Elite Eight, only to lose out to eventual champions LSU.
But after signing with the WWE last fall, the twins are preparing to make their wrestling dreams a reality.
They are due to begin training at the WWE Performance Center in the next few weeks.
And they headed out into the warm Arizona evening air for one last look at their home state before hitting the road.
The twins uploaded a snap of their stroll to their 223k Instagram followers, captioning it: “Last AZ walk for a while.
“West Coast has been so good to us.”
Haley and Hanna were born in Indiana but moved to Gilbert, near Phoenix, as young children.
They recently revealed their WWE preparation, which has included an overhaul of their diet and exercise regime.
And wrestling legend Booker T – himself one part of a sibling duo – is confident that their natural sporting ability will see them succeed in their new career.
Booker told TMZ: “The best advice I can give to siblings is [to] learn this craft and stick together because it will be a ride.
“It’s going to be a journey. This is a marathon. You got to be ready to run the long haul.
“These young ladies that are coming in, they are so athletic.
“So much more athletic than the crop when I came up. I see this business going in a really great direction.”
The Cavinders’ recent health kick has seen them broaden their sporting horizons.
Hanna attempted her best Paige Spiranac impression on the golf course, although admitted her swing was a “work in progress”.
While the sisters teamed up for a competitive game of Pickleball last week.
