On Daniel Bryan’s injury that forced him to relinquish the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Cesaro said:
“One person’s bad luck is another person’s opportunity…. Daniel Bryan has always been a fierce competitor of mine. With him not in the picture, it makes it maybe a little bit easier for me to get those titles. And I’m all in favor of that. I work hard as well and nobody feels sorry for me and I don’t want anybody to feel sorry for me. Bad things happen. Did it happen at a bad time? Yes, it did, but if you look back at other people, they have bad injuries. I know that Daniel Bryan will recover from it and I more than gladly will give him a shot at my title.”
