Bella says short singles match left her frustrated
Summary
– Brie Bella was frustrated after learning her SmackDown singles match was only getting around three minutes
– Bella said she had been pitching WWE for a one-on-one match for a long time
– She understood SmackDown’s two-hour format created tighter TV time, but still felt disappointed
Brie Bella finally got the singles match she had been asking WWE for, but the timing left her disappointed.
Speaking on The Nikki and Brie Show, Bella said she had been pushing for a one-on-one match for a while. When WWE booked her against Lainey Reid on SmackDown, she was excited to get that opportunity finally.
That excitement changed once she found out how much time the match would receive. Bella said she was bummed when she learned the bout would last only about three minutes.
Bella also acknowledged the bigger issue. SmackDown is back to two hours until January, which means more storylines are fighting for less television time.
She said she understood why WWE had to condense certain segments, but that did not make the situation easier. Bella admitted she was angry before she even arrived at the building.
Rather than letting the frustration ruin the night, Bella said she tried to focus on what she could do with the time she was given. She described it as another obstacle and said she has always found a way to make something of difficult situations.
Bella did not get the longer singles showcase she wanted, but she still wanted to make the moment count. Her comments show the challenge talent face when a shorter show forces WWE to squeeze more into less time.
