Brie Bella: Bryan Danielson winning AEW title in front of his kids would be ‘badass’
WWE Hall of Famer Brie Danielson, FKA Brie Bella, spoke to Renee Paquette about her husband Bryan Danielson’s upcoming career vs. title match at AEW All In.
Brie says that she has mixed emotions about Sunday’s pay-per-view. She confirmed that she and the couple’s two kids, Birdie and Buddy, will be ringside for Danielson’s match against Swerve Strickland. Brie thinks it would be great for her kids to see their father become a champion, but also sees the physical toll wrestling takes on him.
“We joke, ‘Oh, we’re getting old and the aches and the pains’ but I’m also like, Bryan, at 43 years old you shouldn’t be feeling this much pain, and that’s where I get worried. And I will say, compared to a lot of people, my husband takes such great care of his body. He does so many things outside of the ring to make sure he’s in the best shape he can be, he feels good, but at the same time, I do see his body breaking down.”
“When he’s feeling these aches and pains and it’s hard for him to play with his kids, that’s when you start to think, ‘Should (he) be doing this anymore?'”
“I don’t know which way I’ll be cheering because it’s like yes, I’ve always wanted my husband to be home more but at the same time, I’ve been with him and all we’ve ever known together is wrestling and I don’t know if I want to see that end for him.”
Brie continued to say that her husband has felt fulfilled with the last three years of his career. She remembers when Danielson was frustrated that his ideas weren’t being heard, but now that he’s in AEW, that’s no longer the case.
“It’s just been incredible the last three years to watch him. I loved watching him before but I truly have felt Bryan here and I see the excitement. I was with him when he was frustrated, when he felt like he wasn’t being heard and he’s been nothing but heard here and he’s done everything that he’s wanted to do,” Brie continued.
“One thing I told Bryan is we all flew out here because we’re not hoping this is your last match. We all know your journey is coming to an end but it doesn’t have to come to an end tonight so when you go out there fight hard, fight so hard because I think it would be pretty badass for your kids to see you become a champion.”
