After a four-year gap since her last Royal Rumble appearance, Brie revealed at the Crisco Kid Brock Party that Danielson, known to AEW fans by his real name Bryan Danielson, played a key role in preparing her for her return. She described adopting intense weight training and boxing routines inspired by Danielson’s methods, emphasizing how she pushed herself physically and mentally to be ready for the event. Brie also mentioned how she and her husband worked together throughout her preparation, admitting she kept studying footage and staying active daily to regain confidence in the ring.
