Had it not been for the support of his family and in particular with Dr. Maroon, Bryan would not be back in the ring today.
Changing the topic up, Bryan revealed he knew Paige as a kid and put over her family’s legacy in the business. He says he gave her advice before her retirement speech the night after WrestleMania 34. She only knows wrestling, and he feels that pain. He doesn’t entirely know her situation, but he hopes she gets cleared in the future.
Bryan said he would describe The Miz as being somebody that doesn’t know when to shut up oand doesn’t realize when he has gone too far. Bryan asked for his release and wasn’t granted it. With all his frustrations, Miz knew everything and knew how to get under his skin. Bryan says he can do the same thing back. They have been around one another so long and there is real tension there. They know how to affect one another. He and Miz have totally different worldviews.
Bryan would be open to working a WrestleMania 35 match against The Miz, given their history. However, Bryan doesn’t believe or trust that WWE could tell the story between the two rivals through to WrestleMania. He thinks the fans would love to see that.
Bryan had no problems feuding with Big Cass. He just wants to wrestle. He remembered a producer telling him he IS Daniel Bryan and should be treated as such. Bryan believes this to mean a top star who has a say in what happens with his character. He still says 95% of what he suggests would be ignored or not used regardless.
Bryan doesn’t think he should be rocketed into the title picture and credits Cass as being a talented performer. He thinks fans have this idea that whatever they want will happen just because they ask for it, which isn’t always the case. He says they helped him get to the main event of WrestleMania 30 but that isn’t something that will always happen.
