Speaking on the latest episode of The Nikki & Brie Show,
Brie said that she feels she has not returned to WWE because
of one roadblock: her husband.
“I know my roadblock is the fact that my husband is with the
rival company and you know, for some people, it makes them
uncomfortable at WWE thinking I would be there when my
husband’s with AEW and you know what? That’s okay,” Brie
said in this solo episode.
She said that if that makes them feel uncomfortable, then it
is what is, but it also bums her out at times.
“Does it bum me out at times that I wish their feelings were
different? Absolutely, but it doesn’t make me angry, and it
doesn’t make me bitter. It makes me be like that right there
is a sign that I’m supposed to be staying in my soft girl
era,” she continued.
The full transcript addressing her rumors of returning to
WWE is below.
Brie Garcia: As of late, there’s been what I can kind of
consider a roadblock, but it’s also a good sign and that’s
where I make a joke because when I’ve been on red carpets or
in interviews, there’s one question I constantly get asked
and it is, “When will we see you back in the ring?” as if I
have that power and I always make a joke because when I’m in
interviews, I don’t want to ever answer something serious
because usually it’s a quick question and they need a quick
answer, so I have constantly made the joke, “Oh, waiting on
the call,” which in some ways can be true and in some ways
I’m just saying something cheeky and sweet so I can get on
to the next question, but what I wanted to bring up because
I feel like, okay. Something that’s important in these solo
episodes is to really open up to all of you what I’m going
through so it can help some of you, but when I look at that,
I know my roadblock is the fact that my husband is with the
rival company and you know, for some people, it makes them
uncomfortable at WWE thinking I would be there when my
husband’s with AEW and you know what? That’s okay. I’ve kind
of looked at that roadblock as people have the right to
feel. If people feel uncomfortable, they’re uncomfortable
and that’s okay. They have that right. Does it bum me out at
times that I wish their feelings were different? Absolutely,
but it doesn’t make me angry, and it doesn’t make me bitter.
It makes me be like that right there is a sign that I’m
supposed to be staying in my soft girl era. That when I was
thinking about my summer, all I wanted was to have July off.
It’s like I manifested. It’s like the angels heard and they
gave it to me, and I look at these signs and I know I’m
living my purpose because I’m so open to what my purpose is
and needs to be.
Brie Garcia: And so, when constantly people are like,
“When’s Brie coming back? When’s Brie coming back to
wrestling?” You know, guys, it might not be in my era right
now and, you know, that is okay, because I feel like we in
life have to look at our roadblocks and we can be quick to
think like, “Oh man,” and the negativity of it, but there
might be a beauty to it and we have to look at those and
really, and this is why I love journaling, because I write
things down like what I feel and then I sit on it, and I’m
like, “You know what? It’s actually not meant to be and that
is okay,” because how I’m living now and where I’m at, this
is where I’ve wanted to be. I just think I have fun and make
jokes and interviews, because I get asked the same
questions, so I’m just the type of person to just throw out
kind of the same answer and disregard it, but then it gets
blown up into something bigger and I’m like, “Okay, I don’t
think that’s the identity I want right now. I don’t think
it’s the era I’m in.”
