On August 2nd WWE wrestlers Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Nia Jax, and Smackdown GM Daniel Bryan did some training at SoCal Pro’s wrestling school in San Marcos. Recently Brie Bella announced that she would be making a comeback after giving birth to her and Daniel Bryan’s 1st child. The training was filmed for an upcoming episode of Total Divas. Amazingly, despite living and wrestling regularly in Southern California before going to WWE, Daniel Bryan never appeared on a SoCal Pro show.
