Former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan rose to superstardom in 2014 thanks to his organic rise as a babyface, culminating in him winning both the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships at WrestleMania 30 after Bryan defeated Orton and Batista in a triple threat match. Paul Heyman also recently spoiled a WWE Smackdown match for Daniel Bryan.
Billi Bhatti said on The Nitty Gritty Dirt Show on RussosBrand.com that Bryan will leave WWE Smackdown and lose to Roman Reigns next Friday, beginning a long WWE hiatus. Pro wrestling legend Dutch Mantell recently spoke on the latest edition of Smack Talk, where he stated that WWE has buried Cesaro.
“For Cesaro, talking is not his strong point. Talking is not his forte. The work is great. The work is good but Daniel Bryan can out talk him. When Daniel Bryan is talking it’s like he’s talking right to you. When he’s interviewed, he’s talking right to the fans. He’s always been like this, Cesaro is not a strong talker but who’s booking the guy? They are.”
“I’m sure they took that into account, let’s let Daniel do the talking but in the process they kind of buried Cesaro, they guy they’re pushing. So I don’t know if they saw it that way when they did and I’m sure they didn’t but what I would do if I was booking Cesaro, I’d put him in the gym and give him some quick wins on TV. Put him in the gym to train and train and train and put a sign up ‘I’m coming at you’ or something like that. That is more effective than him talking for 10 minutes,” said Mantell.
