Brie Bella Believes Bryan Danielson’s AEW Career Is “Roadblock” To Her WWE Return

Brie Bella believes that her husband, Bryan Danielson, working for AEW has led to some people at WWE feeling “uncomfortable” about bringing her back to the company.

While Nikki Bella returned to WWE in June and competed at Evolution, she has so far been unable to reunite The Bella Twins with her sister, Brie Bella. Nikki has repeatedly teased that Brie will be back in the company after a three-year absence, but the star has now revealed there is a big roadblock to her potential comeback.

On the latest edition of The Nikki & Brie Show, Brie said she’s asked about returning to WWE constantly, and usually gives a lighthearted answer to get onto the next question.

“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.”

Brie Bella Opens Up On Feelings Of Discomfort From People In WWE

With Bryan Danielson working in AEW, Brie Bella understands why people in WWE feel uncomfortable about bringing her back, but admits it does “bum her out.”

“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.”
