Brie Garcia Plots Pro-Wrestling Return, Husband Bryan Danielson Teases AEW Collaboration
Garcia (formerly Bella) revealed she has a timeline for a wrestling comeback — and Danielson said, 'If she wants to come do it, it'll get done'
Not only is Brie Garcia itching to get back inside a pro-wrestling ring — she already knows whom she wants to face.
Garcia (formerly Bella) hasn't wrestled since appearing in WWE's Women's Royal Rumble match last year, but that might all be coming to an end soon.
When asked if she had plans on wrestling again, Garcia gave an optimistic update on her Instagram Story last week.
"I will...waiting for Buddy to grow a little more," she wrote. "The great thing is there's so many companies with great opponents!!!"
Garcia and husband Bryan Danielson, who currently wrestles for All Elite Wrestling, welcomed son Buddy in August 2020. They also share daughter Birdie, 6.
Furthermore, the WWE Hall of Famer — who was inducted in 2021 alongside twin sister Nikki — has her eyes set on some big names in AEW, mentioning current AEW Women's Champion Saraya and former AEW Women's Champion Dr. Britt Baker as potential opponents.
Garcia and Saraya previously worked together in WWE when Saraya went by Paige.

In addition, Garcia said she'd love to work with current Impact Wrestling Women's Champion Trinity (formerly Naomi of WWE) and Mickie James, whom Garcia also crossed paths with during her lengthy time in WWE.
"First on my list is The IIconics," Garcia noted, "wrestle them in Australia would be amazing!”
The IIconics — aka Australian natives and former WWE Womens' Tag Team Champions Jessica McKay and Cassie Lee — have not wrestled since leaving Impact Wrestling in April 2022.
Whether or not Garcia does return to wrestling, she has the full support of her husband.
When asked about he and his wife teaming up in AEW during a press conference following the company's WrestleDream in Seattle on Sunday, Danielson said, "Never say never."
"I will say this," Danielson continued. "Brie is the boss in our family. If she wants to come do it, it'll get done."
