Daniel Bryan Talks WWE Release & Return

News

In a fun interview with SLAM! Canada, Daniel Bryan (Danielson) talks about his WWE release, the cupcake binge he went on shortly thereafter, his return, and his dreams of one day main eventing WrestleMania.

“I had never had to work on a PG show before, I got caught up in what I was doing,” he told writer Tim Baines. “I got to the back and they told me that we weren’t allowed to do that kind of stuff. Vince (McMahon) called me himself and explained they were letting me go because they were a PG company and they couldn’t have that kind of behaviour. But (after I was gone), the fans, the WWE Universe. was awesome. There were Daniel Bryan chants at shows. A main event of Randy Orton and John Cena and the fans were chanting for me.”

It’s a great read.
