Brie Bella "Would Love" To Do WWE Mixed Match Challenge With Daniel Bryan

Hall of Famer-in-waiting wouldn't say no to comeback with husband.

Brie Bella, who would be a current WWE Hall of Famer but for the global health crisis, and is currently expecting her second child, is all but retired from wrestling now. Indeed, she hasn't made an in-ring appearance since 2018, a Monday Night Raw six-person alongside twin Nikki and Ronda Rousey, against The Riott Squad.

And yet, the wrestling bug is a hard one to shake. With first-born daughter Birdie getting older - and starting to catch it herself - Brie is increasingly falling into the legend's trap of wanting to show her kids how she used to go.

Speaking on The Bellas Podcast, Mrs. Danielson said she'd love to return to the ring for a Mixed Match Challenge run alongside husband Daniel Bryan:

"I told Bryan, if they bring back [Mixed Match Challenge], granted I'm about to give birth in a week or two, but when they bring it back and I'm ready, I would love to go back and do that with him. It'd be really fun. Birdie is getting older and is understanding wrestling -- she likes it until she sees Bryan getting beat up, then it's game over -- Birdie just naturally does wrestling moves on us and is very tall for her age. I look at her and am like, 'She might be born for the business,' which terrifies me as a parent." [h/t Fightful]

We reckon if WWE are to bring back Brie - and partner her with Bryan no less - it'll be in a setting more glamorous than the Facebook exclusive Mixed Match Challenge, which ran for two seasons and garnered approximately two views. The tournament hasn't been part of WWE's schedule since 2018.
