During the latest episode of the Brie & Nikki Show, WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella said she believes the roadblock for her return to WWE is because her husband, Bryan Danielson currently works for AEW. Brie added that Danielson being with AEW makes some within WWE uncomfortable about her returning.
Brie went on to say that it does bum her out at times, but it doesn’t make her angry or bitter, but feels like its a sign she is supposed to be staying in her ‘Soft Girl Era.’
“As of late, there has been, what I kind of consider a roadblock, but it’s also a good sign. That’s where I make a joke because when I’ve been on red carpets and interviews, there is one question I constantly get asked and it is, ‘When will we see you back in the ring?’ As if I have that power. I always make a joke because when I’m doing interviews, I don’t want to ever answer something serious because usually it’s a quick question and they need a quick answer. I have constantly made the joke, ‘Waiting on the call,’ which in some ways can be true and in some ways I’m just saying something cheeky and sweet so I can get on to the next question.…what I wanted to bring up, when I look at that, I know my roadblock is the fact that my husband is with the rival company. For some people, it makes them uncomfortable at WWE, thinking I would be there when my husband is with AEW. You know what, that’s okay. I’ve kind of looked at that roadblock as people have the right to feel. People feel uncomfortable, they’re uncomfortable. That’s okay. They have that right. Does it bum me out at times that I wish feelings were different? Absolutely, but it doesn’t make me angry or bitter. It makes me feel like that right there is a sign that I’m supposed to be staying in my Soft Girl Era.”
Brie had said during a previous episode and during past interviews, that no one from WWE has contacted her. Brie’s twin sister Nikki has recently made her return to the company.
