Prior to his departure from the WWE, Big Cass worked as Daniel Bryan’s first one-on-one feud since his return to in-ring competition. The pair faced off against each other at Backlash and Money In The Bank before Cass was released a few days after MITB.
In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Bryan took time to praise Big Cass, saying that he really enjoyed wrestling the giant.
I really liked wrestling Big Cass. I thought he progressed a lot in the time that we were working together, and so, I honestly wish him the best of luck. I like him a lot as a person and as a wrestler, so I hope he does very well.
