While most fans simply scoffed at her reasoning, some also suggested that the former WWE Divas Champion could jump ship and join the Jacksonville-based promotion as a competitor full-time and work in storylines with her husband, Bryan Danielson. Meanwhile, Brie's sister Nikki Bella has returned to the Stamford-based promotion and has competed on TV. As far as Brie is concerned, time will tell when and where she shows up next.
