Daniel Bryan has joined the rest of Brie Bella’s co-workers who have defended the Diva’s Champion. Brie botched the Yes Kicks last week, leaving Liv Morgan concussed.
Daniel Bryan took to Twitter today to remind the WWE Universe and wrestling fans that accidents happen and that even the best performers have caused injuries. Bryan even brought up points in his career where he was responsible for causing concussions.
I am proud of how strong my wife is. After accidentally injuring Liv Morgan last week, the first time Bri’s ever hurt another performer, she’s been subject to a constant barrage of social media attacks. Almost every wrestler has accidentally hurt someone…

Bryan specifically pointed to two matches in his career, where he left Randy Orton and Nigel McGuinness with concussions.
but rarely do you see this kind of hate when it happens. For example,
I concussed Randy Orton in 2012 after hitting him with what was supposed to be a chair to the back. Unfortunately part of the side hit him in the back of the head, and he was forced to miss a PPV…— Bryan Danielson (@bryandanielson) October 1, 2018
In 2009 in our last match against each other, I concussed Nigel McGuinness after doing a dive into him in the crowd, where his head hit the floor. And there are others…

The former WWE Champion even brought up a recent botch similar to Brie’s where he kicked Andrade “Cien” Almas in the face. Bryan took full responsibility for the incident.
As for the Yes kicks, two weeks ago I accidentally kicked Andrade directly in the head due to a miscommunication on my part. I feel fortunate that he was ok, because there are few feelings worse than hurting someone…

Despite all of that, never did I receive the backlash Bri did this week. With all the negative things said about my wife, nobody was harder on her than she was on herself…

Thank you to the many people who reached out to support her, both publicly and privately. We all wish Liv Morgan a speedy recovery. #EndCyberbullying

How do you feel about Daniel Bryan’s defense of Brie Bella? Does he have a point? Has the IWC been too critical of her?
