Brie Bella says WWE hasn’t contacted her about returning: ‘I didn’t change my number’
Brie Bella says WWE hasn’t contacted her about returning.
Brie’s twin sister Nikki Bella returned to the company on the June 9 Raw and appeared to be building an angle with Liv Morgan for Evolution 2 before Morgan was injured. However, Brie told reporters at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards on Saturday that nobody has called her about coming back.
“I would love to return, but I’m kind of waiting for that call still. Nikki got the call, Brie didn’t,” Brie said to Courtney Tezeno of 15 News. “I didn’t change my number, if you guys wanted to know, it’s still the same.”
Brie Bella’s potential WWE return
Brie’s comments come after it was reported by TMZ that she had been speaking with WWE about returning in time for Evolution 2.
“A source with direct knowledge tells us Nikki’s twin is in talks to unretire and help her sister kick some ass at the promotion’s all-women pay-per-view event, Evolution, next month,” TMZ wrote.
Nikki Bella later teased Brie’s return in an interview with Sports Illustrated. When asked if her sister, who is married to AEW’s Bryan Danielson, is headed back to WWE as well, Nikki responded:
“I’m not going to lie, I mean, I like having my own time but also I can’t do it without my tag partner. And so you never know. As what we love to say in WWE is, you never know what’s going to happen. It keeps us on our toes. But you gotta stay tuned.”
Evolution 2 plans change
Plans regarding the all-female PLE scheduled for July 13 will have to change following Morgan suffering a shoulder injury on Raw this week. Dave Meltzer addressed the situation in Friday’s edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
“The Evolution show has to be redone due to Liv Morgan’s injury and the entire card is up in the air,” he wrote.
Meltzer later added that Nikki was at Raw on Monday and scheduled to do a run-in during Morgan’s match with Kairi Sane on the show.
“Morgan vs. Nikki Bella or the Bellas vs. Morgan & Rodriguez for the tag titles was scheduled for the 7/13 Evolution show and obviously that’s out of the picture.”
“Nikki Bella was advertised all week for the show and didn’t appear on it. She was there and was scheduled to do a run-in for the finish of Sane vs. Morgan to help set up the match, but with the injury, the decision was made not to use her for a promo after.”
