WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella appeared on “Live with Kelly & Mark” to discuss various topics, including her reasons for returning to the company.

Bella said, “Well, I feel like as a wrestler, you always miss the ring. And seeing Nikki back in it for the last year, I really just got the itch. And I was like, ‘Gosh, I just–‘ Being 42 and with the kids, because my kids have never seen me wrestle. Literally every day, my son would be like, ‘You’re not as cool as [Nikki]. She wrestles.’ So I just think I — you know, I just missed it. I missed it so much, challenging myself. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone.

On the Women’s Tag Team Titles:

“And also, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles are here. The division’s hotter than it’s ever been. I’m like, ‘Nikki, we’re like the original tag team. We’ve never been champions. We gotta do this.”
