2. Brie Bella (#29)

Some eyebrows were raised when Brie Bella claimed that WWE hadn't brought her back due to Bryan Danielson's AEW run last July. She described that as a "roadblock" during negotiations, which shouldn't be the case (if indeed it is the case). Surely everyone has come to terms with Bryan being #AllElite by now.

It's been almost 4 years, people!

Bella's last WWE match was the 2022 Royal Rumble, so it's officially been 4 years for her since fans last saw 'Brie Mode'. In truth, that was never really all that over, so it'd be for the best if she dropped it during the 2026 Rumble and stopped pretending that her very own 'Hulk Up' routine works.

Brie working a short stint in the match would be a lovely moment for her, at least.
