Naturally, Brie departed at the same time as her sister, personally citing the missing of little leisures of life as a motivating factor for taking a sabbatical from the ring. The two were side by side ten and a half months later in March 2013, when the Bellas made a return as female accompaniment for Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes. By all accounts, it looks like Brie Bella will once again be leaving WWE in the near future. It's an understandable move now that her husband Daniel Bryan is fully retired from the ring, and there have been rumblings that the two want to start a family soon. With Nikki in limbo but still sticking around for now, Brie's exit would officially mark twelve former Divas champions no longer affiliated with WWE.
