Promoting Saturday's WWE live event in Rochester, New York, at Blue Cross Arena, Brie Bella spoke to area newspaper Democrat and Chronicle. The former Divas Champion says she plans to enjoy her last few years with the sports-entertainment organization before shifting her focus to raising children.
"I'm Mexican and Italian. I want to raise my babies, I want to be home with them every day. And I'm excited for when that chapter in my life happens," she said.
Bella, who became engaged to fellow WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan during a hike in Big Sur, California, last week, says always she looks forward to traveling to matches with her fiancé since they often create "little adventures" on the road.
"I'm a typical girl," says Bella. "I'm such a Cathy Chatters. We'll have a five-hour drive and I'm like 'Yes! Him alone in a car — I can just express everything and talk to him.' And I'm sure he's like 'Oh gosh, music!'"
Bella, who has appeared for WWE since 2008, says she enjoys the creativity she can bring to the ring.
"Every time you go out into the ring, you're doing something different or figuring something out with your character or seeing how you can change a crowd. I think it's just keeping your creative mind going that keeps me from getting burned out," says Bella.
When Bella decides to hang up the boots, she will look back at her time with WWE fondly.
"Succeeding in this sport has been so empowering," says Bella. "It just gives a lot of fuel to your inner fire and makes you feel kind of unstoppable. At first it can be intimidating, but the drive that I got from my intimidation just created this really powerful woman inside of me."
