Brie Bella made a surprising comeback to WWE by entering the women’s Royal Rumble match at number 29 on Saturday. After initially believing her return was unlikely, she credits WWE President Nick Khan for reopening the door and inviting her back to the company. Brie had doubted a comeback for months but changed her perspective when Khan personally reached out to her.
Challenges Faced Before Rejoining WWE
Late last year, Brie Bella openly expressed hesitation about returning to WWE, partly because her husband, Bryan Danielson, is a cornerstone of AEW, a rival wrestling promotion. She shared these thoughts during a conversation with her sister Nikki on the Notsam Wrestling podcast, where she admitted to having given up on the idea of a final run in WWE. With other potential opportunities on the table, Brie was ready to move on before Khan’s unexpected call shifted her plans.
Training Regimen with Bryan Danielson
In preparing for her comeback, Brie has been training under the guidance of Bryan Danielson, whom she praises as an exceptional and demanding coach. The support and rigorous training provided by Danielson have played a significant role in helping her get back into shape for WWE competition.
“Obviously, my husband might be one of the greatest coaches in the world… And he’s a very hard coach.” – Brie Bella
Significance of Brie Bella’s WWE Return
Brie Bella’s return carries both personal and professional importance as she aims to close her WWE chapter on her own terms. The involvement of Nick Khan highlights WWE’s interest in bringing back established stars, while Bryan Danielson’s role in her training underlines the growing influence of AEW personalities behind WWE scenes. Moving forward, fans will be watching how Brie’s experience and preparation translate into her upcoming performances.
