During the latest episode of the Nikki and Brie show, Brie Bella noted she was “bummed” by the short amount of time in-ring time she and Lainey Reid of Fatal Influence were given on the July 3 SmackDown. This was the first episode of going back to a two-hour format and Brie’s first singles match since 2018.

Brie also said that she also understands, as SmackDown’s time has been cut back to two-hours and everyone is back to fighting for TV time. Brie further noted that SmackDown is returning to a three-hour format in January.

“As everyone saw this past Friday Night SmackDown, I finally got a singles match. I’ve been pitching a while to have a singles match. I’ve been wanting it forever. So when I finally was like, ‘Oh, I get a singles match,’ I was super excited. When I heard the times… I was bummed. But also, I understand SmackDown is back to two hours. It’ll be two hours until January. So all of a sudden when you have all these storylines going on SmackDown and it’s a three hour show, and then boom, you get cut down to two hours, you’re back to fighting for TV time, and they’re gonna condense a lot of stuff. So a part of me understood it. I won’t lie, I was bummed. For me, this is how I look at it. They tried to get a bunch of stuff in. Obviously, I’m always grateful to be on the card. I mean, did I make jokes? Like when I went back, Paige and I were like, ‘How did I lose my time?’ Or if there’s anyone we can give three minutes to, it’s Brie Bella because she’s from the Diva Era, and I did. Paige was honestly like, ‘Are you bummed?’ I’m not gonna lie, I’m not here to stroke anyone and make anyone feel good about themselves. I was bummed, of course. I think I left the fans wanting more. I’ll admit even when I heard my time before I got to the building, I was pissed. But then I was like, ‘You know what? Look what I get to do for a living.’”

The match, which only last just over three-minutes saw Reid get the win over Bella, after the other members of Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley) caused a distraction when they assaulted Brie’s tag team partner Paige at ringside.
