The former WWE Divas Champion hasn't been seen in any wrestling capacity since the 2022 Women's Royal Rumble. She made a brief cameo with her kids at All In last year to celebrate her husband's AEW World Championship win in the main event.

With her twin sister, Nikki Bella, back in WWE, fans have been buzzing on social media about the possibility of the Bella Twins getting back together.

In fact, Brie recently claimed that she "definitely" has one last run in her, but it doesn't look like she has any plans to continue singles wrestling.

Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Bryan Danielson revealed that his wife has no desire to compete in singles competition. The American Dragon said Brie wants to tag with her twin sister if the right opportunity presents itself.

“Yeah, only in certain contexts. She doesn’t want to come back and do a singles run or anything like that. If she comes back, she would want to do it with Nicole [Nikki Bella]. But I think there’s something in her too, and I can appreciate this, because our kids see her as just a mom, just a mom, as if that isn’t the hardest job in the world. Part of her, I think, has a desire to have the kids see her in that light too."

Is former WWE Champion Bryan Danielson done with wrestling?

During the interview, former WWE Champion Bryan Danielson made it clear that he is not fully retired, but he isn't the same guy that he used to be due to nagging injuries.

“I hate the R word because I was forced to retire before. So I never consider myself fully retired. This is how I think, and this is how a lot of wrestlers think, Well, I think I could do this in this situation, if needed, or called upon, or whatever it is. But effectively for the Bryan Danielson that I used to be, yeah, that guy doesn’t exist anymore.”

The American Dragon last wrestled against Jon Moxley at AEW WrestleDream last year, where he brought the curtain down on his full-time career.

He has since made sporadic appearances for the company and is now working as a commentator on Dynamite. Have fans seen the last of him and his wife in a wrestling ring? Only time will tell.
