In the latest episode of Nikki and Brie Bella’s podcast, “The Bellas Podcast,” Nikki Bella opened up about her forced retirement from the WWE ring. Bella talked about her doctors recommending she should immediately retire due to her injury, getting emotional, and Brie saying she might be able to return to action.

Here are the highlights:

Doctors recommending she should immediately retire due to her injuries: “I feel like they haven’t had me come in and do a retirement speech because – guys, it’s crazy. Brie and I have become hated by the ‘Smart Marks’,” Nikki said. “I always looked at it like, well, we did a really good job as heels for so long.

“But it was like the more successful we would get with the reality shows, and the men that we were dating and married to, and all that, we became more and more hated. For people to go against us in the ring and on the mic, it’s very easy to create promos with Brie and I, or about us. And I look at Paige, and Bryan, and Edge, and the list goes on of people who got to have that moment [of a retirement speech].”

Getting emotional: “It’s actually going to make me emotional,” Nikki said. “It’s going to make me cry because, you know, I love wrestling. I gave thirteen years of my life. I beat my body up. I mean, it was my world. It’s so sad sometimes when I see the lack of respect or, like, not the appreciation. You know how badly I wish I could go out there and wrestle again, and do it for the fans, and do it for us? I mean, I’ve risked my life.

“And you know what? I’m a human being; sometimes we like to be acknowledged or appreciated. And the fact that I gave so much and I will never get to stand in that ring and have the ‘thank you, Nikki’ chant, or even give my last, final words – I found out the Thursday before WrestleMania and I’m done. That’s it… I pray one day, Brie, we will be appreciated by that crowd.

“I don’t need to be appreciated by them. And I’ll tell you why, they’re a small part of the huge WWE Universe,” Brie responded.

Brie discussing a possible return:  “The door is closed for Nicole in wrestling; maybe not for me,” Brie said. “I’m not going to confirm anything but maybe or maybe not. [Teaming with Daniel Bryan against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch] would be good, but I think too, if I do go back, I would like to do something a little different. Something I’ve never done before. Obviously with my husband, but he and I talk about certain ideas.”
