Nikki and Brie Bella are preparing meticulously for their return to WWE, which they have described as their final chapter in wrestling. Since Brie Bella’s appearance at the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble, the twins have reentered WWE’s women’s tag team division, determined to demonstrate their readiness for the evolving competition. Their preparation includes training in a wrestling ring installed in their backyard, reflecting their dedication to balancing family commitments and athletic performance. A key element in their training regimen is the support and coaching of Bryan Danielson, Brie’s husband and a highly respected wrestler.
Bryan Danielson’s Role in Enhancing the Bella Twins’ Ring Performance
Danielson has been actively involved in coaching both Bella sisters, focusing on improving their conditioning, timing, and overall ability inside the ring. Their practice sessions predominantly take place at home, allowing the twins to maintain a daily routine while managing their roles as parents. Brie Bella acknowledged Danielson’s demanding approach to coaching, calling him
“one of the greatest coaches in the world”
during her interview on Notsam Wrestling Live! She credited his guidance with helping her regain the physical shape necessary for competition after her last match at the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble.
Adapting to Modern Wrestling: Bella Twins’ New Approach
Speaking at the Crisco Kidd Block Party, Nikki Bella emphasized how different this phase in their careers feels compared to previous runs. She described how acquiring their own wrestling ring was a crucial step for training effectively while balancing parenting responsibilities. Nikki highlighted,
“We are going into this so beyond prepared. We bought a ring. When kids are in school, we are training. We knew…we can only be the best versions of ourselves if it’s pretty much in our backyard. That’s to be good parents, to be good at our jobs, it all has to be within a few miles of each other.”
Both sisters are engaging in daily training regimes that include watching extensive footage and carefully studying their competition. Nikki explained their desire to align their performance with the current era in women’s wrestling, stating their determination to be champions once again. She said,
“We are training every day, we bought our own ring, like Brie said, watching a lot of footage, really knowing who we are, not only as our characters but as athletes, and pushing our limits because we know it’s gonna be our final. And we don’t want to look back and go, ‘Gosh, what if we just trained a little harder, or if we learnt this a little better?’ We are really studying the women because we want it to be like, ‘Yes, the Bellas are back, but it’s the Bellas fit in this era. And that’s why they are going to be champs,”
Nikki concluded.
Balancing Family Life with Final Wrestling Chapter
While Brie Bella may not plan to compete full-time, both sisters are approaching this comeback with seriousness and respect, aware that this could mark the end of their wrestling careers. Their effort to maintain a balance between training, parenting, and performance underlines their thoughtful and strategic mindset as they prepare to leave a lasting mark in WWE’s women’s tag team division.
