Brie Bella: I Feel Like As A Wrestler, You Always Miss The Ring

Brie Bella addresses her WWE return in a new interview, noting that she ‘always missed the ring’ while retired.

At the 2026 Royal Rumble, Brie would make her return to WWE, reuniting with her sister Nikki and are set to compete in a fatal four way tag team match for the WWE Women’s Tag Titles at WrestleMania 42 next month.

While speaking to LiveKellyAndMark in a new interview, Brie Bella spoke about coming out of retirement, noting that as a wrestler, ‘you always miss the ring.’

“I feel like as a wrestler, you always miss the ring, and seeing Nikki back in it for the last year, I really just got the itch. I was like, gosh, I just- being 42 and with the kids, because my kids have never seen me wrestle. Like literally every day, my son would be like, ‘you’re not as cool as Dodo. She wrestles.’ But so I just think I just missed it. I missed it so much, being- challenging myself. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone. The WWE Women’s Tag Team titles are here. The division’s hotter than it’s ever been. I’m like, Nikki, ‘we’re like the original tag team. We’ve never been champions. We gotta do this.'”

Elsewhere in another recent interview, Brie spoke about wanting to be on WWE TV every week since her return. You can read more about that here.
