Nikki Bella discussed her planned return to WWE with Inside the Ropes, as well the possibility of Brie joining her and Daniel Bryan’s desire to come back. The highlights are below:

On her intentions to return to the ring: “Definitely coming back, and I want to come back when I have my sister by my side. It’s been I think over two years since the Bella Twins have been in the ring together, so I definitely want to make a comeback with Brie.”

On when she might return: “I’m obviously still waiting for my neck to heal, so I’m hoping 2018 is gonna be the time that we come back. I hope before then, but I don’t know if that can happen.”

On her schedule when she comes back: “Unfortunately because of my neck, my surgeon doesn’t even want me to come back and ever be in the ring again. But he definitely said I can’t ever be full-time again, and we kind of saw that when I came back last SummerSlam and I went full-time into WrestleMania and I ended up getting injured partially two weeks before that. It’s very tough on my body having a full-time schedule, unfortunately.”

On Daniel Bryan’s possible return: “The one thing that I’ve realized about Bryan because I’ve spent so much time with him, is that he eats, breathes, lives wrestling. He’s been training with Brie in the ring because Brie really wants to make a return, and seeing him he’s an amazing coach, but in his heart he wants to compete. He wants to be in the ring.”
