Brie Bella Reveals What She Told Bryan Danielson About Choosing Between WWE & AEW

Brie Bella recently appeared on Sippin’ the Tea with Ariane Andrew, and one of the topics she discussed was Bryan Danielson deciding to leave WWE and sign with AEW.

When asked about Danielson making the decision to leave WWE for AEW, Brie noted that it was far from an easy choice for the former WWE Champion, while also mentioning that she didn’t want to be a factor in pushing him in either direction (via Fightful):

“I have to tell you, all summer long, he kept contemplating, kept going back and forth. He took the summer off and I just remember every other day, he honestly didn’t know where he was gonna end up, and then just finally, one day it spoke to him, he felt it. Because I was like, ‘I am not helping you make a decision. You’re 40 years old, this is probably going to be your last run. So you have to just let your heart tell you where to go.’ I’m like, ‘Just because I’m with WWE, doesn’t mean you have to be there,’ because I don’t know if I’ll make a comeback. To be honest, I told Nicole, maybe in a year or so. But like right now, my life — we’re so busy with our companies and the kids, like taking Birdie to school. That’s a whole thing in itself.”

As for Brie, her most recent match was on RAW in October of 2018.
