Brie Bella and Paige were “very sad” about not being able to wrestle on SmackDown in Europe
During her podcast with sister Nikki, WWE women’s tag team champion Brie Bella commented on traveling for WWE’s 2026 European tour…
“I obviously start off my trip in Barcelona for Friday Night SmackDown. I will tell you all, Paige and I were very sad not to wrestle in front of you in Spain or actually be out there. You know, we had a backstage with Fatal Influence. Those are some naughty girls. But, you know, we’re going to have our, you know, we get them now. So we got a little taste of their medicine. They’re going to get right back.
But I will say Paige and I were so sad not to be out in Italy as well. Those crowds are so amazing. I mean, they’re not quiet for one second—loud and just like they play into the stories. They’re just so great.
And, you know, I know we’ve talked about this before on the podcast, but it does something to the wrestlers. It adds to the energy. Do you know what I mean? And so thank you, Spain. Thank you, Italy, for being outstanding crowds.
And then the Friday, the SmackDown after, Paige and I thought we had a match, and then we didn’t. And we were so sad. We’re like, ‘Can we please walk out to the crowd and cut a promo and do all that?’ Which actually, we originally were supposed to be out in the crowd and do this thing out in the arena, and last minute it got switched.
We were so bummed. I was like, ‘How is it that I’m in Europe and I did not once walk out to any of those fabulous, high-energy crowds?'”
