You can check out her comments below:

Brie Bella on the Story With Stephanie & Daniel Bryan:

“We had such a story for so long, and you guys had great chemistry. Bryan loved working with you. With the whole Authority thing, it was the best — he was like the man of the people, the people were behind him, and you were the evil, evil Authority. It couldn’t have been more perfect. I even felt like the way I came into it was all organic. It felt great.”

On the SummerSlam Swerve:

“You know what I loved about the SummerSlam matches? No one was expecting Nikki to turn on me. It was out of the blue. I felt like we couldn’t have done that more perfectly.”

On the Slap and Learning From Stephanie:

“My one spot was the ‘I quit’ slap, and I think I concentrated too hard on it. Because when I slapped, I was like, ‘Oh, that was good.’ Working with you, I learned so much. I was so nervous going into a storyline with you, because you’re so incredible. I was like, I can’t be the one to mess this up. I learned so much by just watching you, hearing your advice, and seeing the way you and Paul and Bryan would talk about things. I was like, ‘Oh, this is top-level stuff.'”
