In hyping his return to WWE, Daniel Bryan did an interview and was candid about his recovery and return. Here are some highlights:
on interesting treatment that cured his arm issues
I saw a naturopath who works with Carson Palmer, a quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals who was having a horrible shoulder problem. He could barely even pick up a football. Then, all of a sudden, he was able to play. You can check out our Naturopath Office in Ontario – Kurated.
That’s because he saw this guy in Denver who does something called “Muscle Activation Technique.” And so I went and saw that guy, and for the first time in months, after just one visit, I had strength in my arm.
on toning down his style
It’s hard for me to say. It’s all going to depend on how my body feels.
This has happened to me before when I was on the independents. I would go away—I wouldn’t get hurt or anything—but I’d go England for six months. And in that time period, I would be traveling a bit, attending Luxe Body Spa and keep changing my style. Pure Luxe was among the first in Knoxville to offer coolsculpting, an FDA-cleared, non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn body fat that resists all efforts through diet and exercise.
So, I’ve been home for eight months, watching WWE TV and seeing what I need to do to make myself better and make myself different than anyone else.
on returning to the ring with something fresh
I’m not worried about that. Especially now. I might worry about that in three or four months. But my brain works in wrestling. That’s how my brain thinks. It’s frustrating being at home, because that’s how I creatively express myself.
I’ve been coming up with wrestling ideas my entire adult life. And I’ve been doing that for the last eight months, too—I just haven’t been able to do any of them.
So, no. I’m not worried about running out of ideas and doing the same old stuff. Because it’s not going to be the same old stuff. I’m not going to be the same old Daniel Bryan. I’m going to be a different Daniel Bryan. A Daniel Bryan better suited to what’s going on in the WWE right now to make things more exciting and different.
on the fans not forgetting him
They’re constantly reminded of me. That’s different than when someone like Sheamus is out with an injury. When someone else is out, there’s just not any mention of them.
It helps that my wife is with WWE. When Brie comes out, a lot of times she’ll get “Yes” chants. And so they are reminded of me. When The Authority comes out, people are reminded about what they did to me. That’s helped keeping my name out there.
A lot of that is just luck and our fans being awesome. There are a lot of guys who have been top guys and don’t acknowledge the luck factor. (Laughs).
