WWE News: Brie Bella Contemplating Retirement; Triple H Makes Peace With Sportscaster Michelle Beadle
World Wrestling Entertainment diva Brie Bella is contemplating retirement, following the decision of husband Daniel Bryan to leave the sport for good.
The 34-year-old Bryan, who once held both the WWE and World Heavyweight titles, announced his retirement early this month after suffering a concussion-related injury in 2015. It was later revealed that he was also having concussion-related seizures, which he hid from the public.
On the Tuesday edition of Good Morning America, Bella announced that she is also thinking of "hanging up the boots" sooner than later.

"It's gonna be hard on me as well, but that day is definitely very close," Bella told Good Morning America host Kayna Whitworth.
The 32-year-old Brie, along with twin sister Nikki, have been successful as Divas champions in the WWE, a title they held in 2011-2012. The two parted ways, upon their WWE return in 2014, as Nikki went on a hiatus in October 2015 due to a neck injury.
Brie, on the other hand, had since been competing in singles matches.
Meanwhile, WWE superstar and executive Triple H has mended his professional relationship with ESPN sportscaster Michelle Beadle. The two had been at odds since May of 2015 after Triple H showed his support for then pound-for-pound boxing king Floyd Mayweather Jr., who was facing his five-year on-paper rival, Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao.
In a statement Beadle issued during the said time, she criticized the WWE's Executive Vice President for Talent, Live Events & Creative, noting how supporting a "convicted batterer" can damage the WWE's goodwill through their anti-bullying program.
"I was a fan. A big fan. But it's time to use my voice," Beadle said in her statement.
But during the February 15th episode of Monday Night RAW, the two posted separate tweets of photos of themselves hanging out at the backstage area.
"Awesome to reconnect with old friends and bury the hatchet… Good things to come," Triple H said in his post.
