Brie Bella thinks Bryan Danielson working for AEW is a roadblock for her WWE return.
Back in January, Nikki Bella made her return to WWE as part of the Women’s Royal Rumble, with more frequent appearances coming on Monday Night RAW in recent weeks. Now that the former Divas Champion is in the midst of her latest run, many fans have been wondering whether Brie Bella is set to join her sister and make a comeback in the near future. However, it seems like there might be a major factor in the way of her return.
Speaking in Nikki & Brie Show, Brie discussed how Bryan Danielson working for AEW may be a roadblock for her WWE return.
“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.”

As of now, there’s no indication that Brie will join Nikki on RAW, but she’s previously indicated a willingness to return to the company if they gave her the call. For now, the situation remains one to keep an eye on in the coming weeks as Nikki’s current run progresses. Tonight, the 41-year-old teams up with IYO SKY, Rhea Ripley and Stephanie Vaquer to take on Naomi, Chelsea Green, Piper Niven and Alba Fyre.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on Brie Bella’s possible WWE return as soon as we hear more.
