Brie Bella is getting candid about motherhood.

The TV personality and former wrestler, 39, exclusively reveals PEOPLE at the ESPY Awards on Wednesday that "raising a toddler" is a much tougher task than any wrestling championship she’s been a part of.

“You don't get a break,” she tells PEOPLE of her son Buddy Dessert, whom she shares with husband Daniel Bryan. "You know, when you're a champion, you at least get to a point where it's 1, 2, 3, and it's done. There's no 1, 2, 3, tap, tap. That's it. No tapping with the toddler.”

The star — who arrived on the carpet with sister Nikki Bella — also notes that Buddy is keen to enter the ring. "My son's the wrestler. Oh my God,” she says.

“So Buddy, he's watched a couple AEW shows, but he gets so worked up, I have to turn it off,” the Twin Love co-host adds. “I'm like, okay, I don't know. He knows how to do the moves too good.”

Meanwhile, Nikki, who agreed that parenting a toddler is more challenging than stepping into the ring for a championship wrestling match, says her son Matteo Artemovich takes more after his father, Dancing with the Stars pro Artem Chigvintsev. "[Brie's] son's the wrestler, mine is the dancer. He's for sure going to be like his father," she tells PEOPLE.

But the two sisters say they are enjoying “mom-ing” together.

“We do it together. We pour wine and we just enjoy the chaos,” Nikki says, to which Brie adds, “We do enjoy it.”

Although little Buddy may be keen to follow in his mom's wrestling footsteps, earlier this year Brie revealed that her son has another favorite pastime — growing strawberries.

In May, the former WWE wrestler posted a few adorable pictures on her Instagram Story of her kids — she also shares Birdie Joe, 6, with Bryan, 41 — playing in her garden. In the first, her son Buddy stands in the garden with his hands behind his back.
