Brie Bella Thought About Stepping Back From Competing After Nikki Bella’s Injury
Brie Bella considered stepping back after Nikki Bella’s injury.
Back in March, Nikki Bella suffered an ankle injury while facing the duo of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss in a tag team bout. The injury ended up keeping her out of WrestleMania, prompting Brie to form a new tag team with Paige.
Speaking with Stephanie McMahon on What’s Your Story, Brie noted that she considered not competing after Nikki got injured.
“Being a tag champ with Paige, I’ll admit that when Nikki broke her ankle two weeks before WrestleMania, I was like, oh my gosh. I definitely was like at the point like, hey, because Nikki can’t compete, I don’t need to compete either. But, when they had the idea with Paige coming, I was like, oh, well, yeah. I was excited, I told Paige, tag teaming is way different than being a singles. It feels like a lot of moving parts. We’ve had a blast.”
Nikki Bella will return to the ring at SummerSlam, where she’ll team with Brie Bella and Paige to face Fatal Influence. Check out the current lineup for the first night of the show by clicking here.
