Nikki Bella on potential Brie Bella WWE return: ‘All the women want her back’
Nikki Bella has made up with Sports Illustrated, and says all the women in WWE want her sister Brie to return.
During an in-ring promo segment on Raw this week, Nikki Bella complained about Becky Lynch’s frequent mentioning of Sports Illustrated naming her the greatest women’s wrestler of all time, saying “We don’t care what Sports Illustrated says, Becky.”
“The Takedown on SI is happy to report that we’ve squashed our kayfabe beef with the WWE Hall of Famer,” wrote SI.com’s Rich Ucchino.
Nikki continued to say that she’s been pushing WWE for her sister Brie to return to the company.
“I keep pushing it. All the women want her back and they keep asking me every week has that decision changed,” Nikki said.
Last month, Brie Bella noted on an episode of The Nikki & Brie Show that her husband Bryan Danielson working for AEW is a “roadblock” to her potentially returning to WWE. Nikki expressed she doesn’t believe her sister being married to someone from AEW should factor into things.
“I don’t think legacies should be determined on spouses, but I also understand business,” Nikki said.
Nikki added that she believes WWE is starting to come around to the idea, saying:
“I do think [WWE is] becoming more and more open to it. I understand it takes time and we just have to figure things out. There’s so much business to figure out, and Brie and I both completely understand that.”
