One of the Bellas is speaking out about a possible return to the WWE. Brie Garcia, half of The Bella Twins, a professional wrestling tag team that performed in WWE, is speaking out about the possibilities of returning to the ring. Her sister, Nikki, made her return to the WWE ring earlier this year and has gone on to appear in WWE Revolution and RAW.
Both Bella Twins are former WWE Divas Champions.
During a solo episode of the Nikki & Brie show, the podcast she hosts with her sister, Brie spoke about the roadblocks in her life. “There’s been what I can consider a roadblock, but it’s also a good sign,” she said. She then went on to explain. “And that’s where I make a joke because I’ve been on red carpets or in interviews. There’s one question that I constantly get asked. And it is, ‘When will we see you back in the ring?’ As if I have that power.”
“And I always make a joke because when I’m in interviews. I don’t want to ever answer something serious because usually it’s a quick question and they need a quick answer. So I have constantly made the joke, ‘Oh, waiting on the call.’ Which in some ways, can be true. And in some ways, I am just saying something cheeky and sweet so I can get on to the next question.”
But what is the roadblock? Brie explained that her husband, Bryan Danielson, is employed by AEW. “I know my roadblock is the fact that my husband is with the rival company,” she said. “For some people, it makes them uncomfortable at WWE, thinking I would be there while my husband is with AEW.”
“Does it bum me out sometimes when I wish their feelings were different? Absolutely. But it doesn’t make me angry, and it doesn’t make me bitter. It makes me [realize] that that is a sign that I am supposed to be staying in my ‘soft girl era.’”
However, never say never. Brie Bella certainly isn’t.
WWE Summerslam is this August 2-3 and it can be streamed on Peacock.
