A recent episode of The Nikki & Brie Show podcast featured WWE Hall of Famer and co-host Brie Bella’s thoughts about how her husband’s Bryan Danielson’s status with AEW has been a roadblock for her potential return to WWE.
“When I’ve been on red carpets or in interviews, there’s one question I constantly get asked and it is, ‘When will we see you back in the ring?’ As if I have that power.
So I have constantly made the joke, ‘Oh, 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.
I know my roadblock is the fact my husband is with the rival company. And for some people, it makes them uncomfortable at WWE thinking I would be there when my husband’s with AEW. And 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. And that’s okay. They have that right. Does it bum me out at times that I wish their feelings were different? Absolutely. But it doesn’t make me angry and it doesn’t make me bitter.”
