Brie Bella said Bryan Danielson’s transition away from active in-ring competition gave her the opportunity to return to WWE.
Speaking on The Nikki & Brie Show, Brie explained that Danielson’s retirement allowed their family to reverse roles, with him taking on more responsibilities at home while she resumed her wrestling career.
“I’m actually going through that right now, where my husband retired, which gave me the opportunity to go back and wrestle, and he’s like Mister Pinterest mom.”
Brie said Danielson has embraced life as the primary caregiver and has excelled in the role.
“I’m like, damn, all right, like making little tree snacks and like homemade meatballs and gluten free chicken fingers. And he’s like thriving in it. Like he’s loving it, which is so nice, because you know you never know for men if all of a sudden they become Mr. Mom. Like you never just know how they’ll handle it. And he’s like nailing it.”

Brie also praised the positive impact Danielson has had on their children’s education.
“I mean, my kids went up a couple grades in reading. Their math is like out of control. Where I was like, oh s***, I didn’t do that. Good job.” [H/T WrestlingNews.co]
Danielson’s retirement following AEW WrestleDream 2024 gave Brie the flexibility to return to WWE, and she made her comeback in the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble.
Since then, Brie reunited with Paige, and the duo captured the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 42. After losing the titles to Fatal Influence, the duo will join forces with Nikki Bella to take on Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Lainey Reid at SummerSlam 2026.
