WWE star Brie Bella made a major reference to her husband Bryan Danielson on tonight’s SmackDown. The Bella Twins made their return to WWE earlier this year and are having a great run so far. Not only that, Brie and Paige are the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. During her recent defenses, she has paid tribute to the former AEW World Champion multiple times.
The American Dragon made his way to the top over a decade ago in WWE. The ‘Yes Movement’ forced WWE to give him the championship at WrestleMania 30. Since then, the schtick has stuck with him. Fans used to chant ‘Yes’ during his entrance and during his matches. One of the entertaining parts of his bout was his gimmick, the ‘Yes Kicks’. Unfortunately, when he joined AEW, he wasn’t allowed to use his Yes gimmick due to legal reasons.
Now that the former AEW World Champion is no longer a full-time wrestler, it seems like he has passed his legacy to his wife, Brie Bella. She recently revealed that the current AEW star has been coaching her during her ongoing WWE run.
On tonight’s SmackDown, Brie Bella and Paige took on the Fatal Influences’ Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid, where the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships were on the line. During the contest, she used Bryan Danielson’s iconic ‘Yes Kicks’. Despite Fatal Influences’ cheap tactics, Paige and Brie won the contest.
While Brie made her long-awaited return, Bryan Danielson’s future is still uncertain. While the American Dragon has claimed that he hasn’t retired fully from in-ring competition, no sign of his comeback is seen so far. He is currently contributing as an AEW commentator. It will be interesting to see if the couple ever work together in the global sports entertainment juggernaut down the line.
