Brie Bella Comments On WWE Royal Rumble Appearance And Possible Full-Time Return

Brie Bella is set to return to the ring on Saturday when she enters the women’s Royal Rumble.

Brie hasn’t wrestled since 2018 when she teamed with Nikki Bella & Ronda Rousey against The Riott Squad (Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott & Sarah Logan).

Speaking to Scott Fishman of TVInsider, Brie commented on her return.

“I’m nervous. I was counting down the days before I left on my mirror in red lipstick. And at the bottom, it says ‘no regrets.’ There were also other things written like ‘no alcohol, no carbs.’ I just felt the butterflies in my stomach. We have such a hardcore fan base in the Bella Army. I never want to let them down. I also don’t want to let myself down. I’m also bringing my daughter who will be watching. This will be her first time seeing it live with me where she understands. It’s just a lot of pressure, but I feel ready. You want to go out there and impress everyone. You want to be perfect. That always comes with nerves,” she said.

Brie is one of many moms set to enter the Royal Rumble with herself, Nikki, Mickie James, and Michelle McCool having children while still wrestling.

Brie said about being a mom in the match, “I remember coming up in the wrestling industry where it was, if you want to have babies, that was it. You never saw them again. They would go off and have babies and once in a blue moon, they would stop in to say hi. I love seeing the trend now that you can have children and come back either full-time, part-time, or make appearances. I think that will empower our own children, especially our daughters, [to see] what you are capable of doing.”

Along with her Royal Rumble commitment, Brie is set to be part of The Real Dirty Dancing series on Fox, which premieres on February 1.

When asked if a full-time return could be in the works for Brie, she said, “I tell everyone one time. Then I get there and get the itch. You never know when WWE pitches you. They always find a way to get the Bellas back. Never say never. I think I will admit my concentration now is my children and my businesses. I’m so busy, but wrestling is my No. 1 passion. And when I’m in that ring, it feels like home. I’ll never be able to ever get rid of that feeling. There are times when I am like, “I could go back.” It’s hard because my husband is full-time on the road. That’s the only thing.”
