At present, former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan is currently out of action following an injury, however he’s working on Tough Enough as a judge alongside Hulk Hogan and Paige.
His wife, WWE Diva Brie Bella spoke recently with The Mirror newspaper in the UK and spoke about Total Divas, and how her husband is currently dealing with the injury that is threatening his career.
Below are highlights from the interview.
On how Daniel Bryan is doing with his career threatening injury:
“You know he’s doing really well, he is, but it has been very hard. This injury unlike any other has just been the hardest because in the past we at least knew ‘okay it’s surgery, this long to recover’, he unfortunately had a relapse, but then we knew how long it would be to recover after the relapse. But with this one it’s so unclear and that’s the hard thing. As a wife, to put myself away from wrestling, as a wife it’s so hard to see your husband go through this. I mean, you know when doctors are starting to think, and you see his dreams come crashing down, it breaks my heart. To the point where I wish I was in his position and he was in mine because I hate seeing him like that. But my husband has so much fight in him and he tells me every day ‘I’m getting back in that ring, just you watch’ and I’m like ‘oh I bet you will’. I have his support 100% and I really think he will get back in there, I really do. He doesn’t see it any other way.”
If she believes that her sister Nikki will become the longest reigning Divas Champion:
“I hope so, I really do. But you know what? The one thing I really like about my sister is when I look at her holding this title, she says ‘I don’t care about the length of the reign, I care about the fight’. She has been the number one champion for putting that title on the line. That’s what Nikki cares about and keeps asking, every week she wants to put the title on the line. She wants to fight for it constantly and that’s her mentality. I really hope she does but she wants the NXT girls to come up and start fighting for it, she has a different outlook, she wants to change the division. I hope we start seeing that soon. The girls down in NXT are tremendous wrestlers and I hope we see them on the roster soon.”
On working a big storyline with her sister Nikki and Stephanie McMahon this time last year:
“Oh, it was the highlight of my career. It was amazing to work with Stephanie McMahon, you know for a Diva it was amazing to have a great story. And to have it happen organically from the Daniel Bryan situation. You know Stephanie and I main evented Raw two weeks in a row. Just as women. We had no men in our storyline, it was just two women who had beef. And then when we were going into SummerSlam to have Vince McMahon tell us that we helped sell the pay-per-view and that was the main story going in, it was incredible. Those are moments I will be telling my grandchildren, that I will remember forever. And the best part too, someone like her was bullying my husband and I got be the bitch that stepped in and put her in her place.”
