WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella is keeping the wrestling world guessing about her future, recently revealing that she believes she has one more chapter to write in her storied in-ring career. During an intimate conversation on her podcast with twin sister Nikki Bella, the former two-time Divas Champion opened up about her physical condition, her wrestling aspirations, and the possibility of a triumphant comeback that could reshape the women’s division.[1][2]
The 42-year-old wrestling legend, who last competed professionally at the 2022 Royal Rumble, has been watching from the sidelines as her sister Nikki has made waves since her shocking return to WWE at the 2025 Royal Rumble. Now, with Nikki firmly established back on the roster and recently turning heel to challenge Stephanie Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship at Survivor Series, Brie appears energized by the prospect of joining her sibling for one final collaborative run.
The Physical and Mental Case for One More Run
During her appearance on The Nikki & Brie Show, Brie made her case for why she believes another wrestling chapter is still within reach. “I think there is definitely a last run in me,” she stated with conviction. “I’m at the age, and I’m strong, and I think it’s because I’m working out so hard and I’m feeling good. But, there’s for sure a last run in me.”[1][3]
The statement carries significant weight coming from someone who has been largely absent from active competition for nearly four years. Brie’s emphasis on her current physical conditioning suggests she’s been maintaining her fitness with a potential return scenario in mind. The fact that she’s regularly training at an elite level indicates this isn’t merely casual speculation but rather a genuine consideration for her future.
What makes Brie’s comments particularly intriguing is the timing. With Nikki experiencing a career renaissance on Monday Night Raw, the window for a Bella Twins reunion—one of professional wrestling’s most beloved tag teams—appears to be opening wider than it has in years. The nostalgia factor alone could drive significant viewership and merchandise sales, making a reunion storyline financially attractive to WWE’s decision-makers.
A Bella Twins Reunion: The Dream Scenario
When asked about the specifics of any potential return, Brie made it abundantly clear that she wouldn’t want to make a comeback without her sister by her side. “Wherever it may take me, wherever it may be, I hope it’s with you (Nikki). Wherever that is at, who knows? Whether it’s for one night or 200 nights. We’ll see,” Brie explained, leaving the door open to various possibilities.[1][2]
This statement is crucial because it underscores the emotional and professional bond between the twins. The Bella Twins aren’t just sisters—they’re a brand unto themselves, having revolutionized women’s wrestling during their prime. A reunion could serve multiple purposes: it could provide Nikki with an established ally during her current heel turn, create compelling television moments, and offer fans a chance to see one of wrestling’s most iconic duos perform together one final time.
According to sources close to WWE’s creative team, the company has been monitoring Brie’s social media activity and podcast appearances closely, with several executives viewing a Bella Twins reunion as a potential marquee attraction for a major pay-per-view event. The combination of nostalgia, star power, and the natural chemistry between the sisters represents a compelling narrative opportunity that WWE hasn’t fully explored since Brie’s departure.
The Bryan Danielson Complication
However, any potential Brie Bella return isn’t without its complications. The WWE Hall of Famer’s husband, Bryan Danielson, is currently a prominent figure in All Elite Wrestling, serving as both an in-ring competitor and commentary team member. This cross-promotional conflict has historically been cited as the primary obstacle to Brie’s comeback.[1][4]
Brie has previously acknowledged this “roadblock,” though she hasn’t completely ruled out other options. The wrestling landscape has evolved since her last appearance, with various promotions now more willing to work around such situations. However, WWE remains the most logical destination given Nikki’s current prominence on the Raw brand and the Bella Twins’ storied history with the company.
The question of whether Brie would even be available for a WWE return remains open. While her comments focus primarily on wrestling in general, the specific mention of her hopes to reunite with Nikki—who is exclusively signed to WWE—suggests that a WWE return remains her preference, even if complications exist.
Nikki’s Momentum and the Tag Team Championship Dream
Nikki Bella’s current trajectory adds another layer of intrigue to Brie’s comments. After returning to WWE following a seven-year absence (excluding her 2022 Royal Rumble appearance), Nikki has quickly established herself as a major player in the women’s division. Her recent heel turn against Stephanie Vaquer has positioned her for significant storyline opportunities moving forward.
Nikki has previously expressed her desire to reunite with Brie for one specific goal: capturing the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. “We have unfinished business in WWE,” Nikki reportedly told associates backstage, according to wrestling insiders. “The tag titles would be the perfect way to bookend our careers.” Such a scenario would give fans a concrete reason to invest in a Bella Twins return, transforming it from mere nostalgia into a goal-driven narrative with championship implications.
What’s Next?
While Brie Bella hasn’t announced any official return date or confirmed negotiations with WWE, her recent comments suggest that a comeback is more than just idle speculation. The combination of her maintained physical fitness, her sister’s active status on the roster, and the natural storytelling opportunities available make a Bella Twins reunion seem increasingly plausible.
Whether Brie’s “one last run” materializes remains to be seen. But based on her latest statements, it’s clear that the wrestling chapter of her life isn’t quite closed. Fans who have longed to see the Bella Twins perform together one final time should remain cautiously optimistic about the possibility of seeing them grace a WWE ring once more.[5]
