Brie Bella Details Her WWE Return
Evan Real: Fans have been just waiting for this moment. How did it come to be? Why now?
Brie Bella: To be honest, I mean, so two things. I was shocked when the moment came because I definitely thought the door was closed for me. And so when I got the call I was just like, “Whoa. Like, all right, let's go.”
Nikki Bella: Thank you, Nik.
Brie Bella: Thank you, Nik. And also, I mean now I look at the women's tag division and it's the best I've ever seen it and has been. And I just told Nikki, I'm like, “This is our time. This is our time to go for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships. It's time for like the Bella Twins to be back.”
Danny Murphy: I know because it's exciting because of course The Nikki and Brie Show, you guys are together on that and also your family. So you're together on that with new episodes Monday and Thursdays, and also on Stars 109, which we love. But how does it feel to be back as the Bella Twins?
Brie Bella: Oh, I mean, it's wild. It's iconic.
Evan Real: Very iconic, I know.
Nikki Bella: Very iconic. You know, it's kind of funny because I feel like we're in the era of nostalgia.
Danny Murphy: The 2016 challenge.
Nikki Bella: Yes. You know what I mean? I mean that was like prime Bellas baby.
Brie Bella: It like the challenge came to light.
Nikki Bella: But it's just, it feels so great to be back together. It's crazy that it's been over seven years. I mean, we've done like rumbles, but to be in that Monday Night Raw ring, it's been over seven and a half years. And so it just feels right. It's the perfect moment. It's divine timing.
Evan Real: Absolutely. What was it like doing the WWE without Brie for so long?
Nikki Bella: Lonely. Well, actually I was actually having a lot of fun without her. But this is the thing. Like, I understand what era I'm in and I know we can only do this for so long. So I know my days are more towards the end than the beginning, of course. And I just kept being like, “Goodness, like I really wanna end this here, my legacy with Brie, like, I have to end it with her by my side and our family there.” And look, I think we have, you know, a few years left in us, maybe less, who knows? But I want it with her. And so that was like, even though this past year was amazing and it's been incredible growth for me in that ring. And I've become so close with all the other girls, I really missed her and I knew I needed her too.
The Bella Twins Put The WWE On Notice
Danny Murphy: Who should be the most afraid of the Bella Twins being back in action?
Nikki Bella: I mean, the ones that are holding the titles. If you're holding the gold, Rhea…
Brie Bella: And the Bella twins always have tricks up their sleeves. You know what I mean? So, that's what you have to watch out for.
Nikki Bella: But they all need to watch out. I want to make a statement on everyone. I want gold. I want to make a statement. I want to put them away. I want to do it all.
Evan Real: Put them away. Now, once the WWE journey ends, eventually, hopefully, you know, I hope it never does, but when it does, kind of, what's the next step? Are you already thinking about the future beyond the WWE?
Nikki Bella: You know, it's so funny 'cause like WWE is such, we're family. I mean, when you were back and everyone was saying hi to you, and it's crazy. We've all, I mean, we've been there almost 20 years, so people that are still there, I hope to always do something in that industry because I just love wrestling. I love women's wrestling so much, but we are wine makers and wine is our passion and Bonita Bonita has boomed in the past few years, so that is obviously where when we become, like not become. When we have our entrepreneur hats on and we're on planes like, okay, but now we're really sore, so let's just talk about the future. You know, it's mainly that and we love The Nikki & Brie Show, and then of course being moms is number one, and you know, maybe one day I might be a wife again. I mean, I don't want to be like a wife, but I'd like to have a partner. You know.
Danny Murphy: And more gold. Yes.
Nikki Bella: Someone to watch the sunset with. Yeah, something. I don't know, but I mean, long time, long time.
