As WWE SummerSlam 2025 approaches, Brie Bella clarified that she will not participate in any matches or make an in-arena appearance at the event. During a recent episode of the Nikki and Brie Show podcast, she put an end to speculation about her involvement, confirming she will be absent from the wrestling card despite her twin sister Nikki Bella’s active return to the ring.
While Brie will not be wrestling, she and Nikki are planning several fan engagement activities in New York during SummerSlam weekend, including a wine event and appearances with DraftKings. Brie encouraged fans to follow their social media for detailed information on how to meet them and join in the weekend’s festivities.
“I’m going to SummerSlam—actually, I’m not at SummerSlam, but I will be in New York during SummerSlam weekend. Nikki and I are super excited because we have a wine event, DraftKings, and more. Follow our socials and you’ll see the places where you can meet us and join in on some fun stuff!” —Brie Bella, WWE Star
