The Bella Twins haven’t disappeared from WWE television because they’re done wrestling — they’re simply waiting for the call.
During a recent appearance on Lala Kent’s podcast, Brie Bella addressed the duo’s current status with WWE and why fans haven’t seen them regularly since their Royal Rumble appearance earlier this year.
According to Brie, she originally expected that she and Nikki Bella would transition back into weekly programming after competing in the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble. However, WWE reportedly told the sisters that they would be brought back when there was a storyline ready for them.
Brie admitted that the situation caught her off guard, noting that five weeks have already passed since then without a follow-up from WWE creative.
Despite the wait, Brie made it clear that both she and Nikki are eager to return to the ring. With WrestleMania 42 approaching, the sisters have their eyes on a potential opportunity — particularly with the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships scheduled to be defended at the event.
Brie said they’re motivated to show that they can still compete with the current generation of WWE talent if given the right storyline and platform.
The Bella Twins’ most recent joint appearance on WWE television came during the February 2 episode of Monday Night RAW. Since then, speculation about their return has continued to circulate among fans.
Fueling those rumors even more, Nikki Bella was recently spotted in Phoenix ahead of SmackDown, sparking discussion about a possible appearance. The sisters have also confirmed that they will be involved during WrestleMania 42 weekend in Las Vegas, though exactly what that involvement looks like remains to be seen.
For now, it appears the Bellas are simply waiting for WWE creative to find the right moment to bring them back into the spotlight.
