On the latest episode of the “Nitty Gritty Dirt Show” on RussosBrand.com, host Billi Bhatti and former WWE writer Vince Russo, discussed how he believes Daniel Bryan will be the planned opponent for Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 37 and the storyline behind it. Wrestling-Edge transcribed Bhatti’s comments below.
Bhatti: I’ve been told that they have been planning to get there, I’ve been told that Roman [Reigns] wants to do it, that they have a storyline through it and that they believe in the match. So I am going to stick with my story, I’ve seen Daniel Bryan lose to Cesaro, lose to Shinsuke Nakamura, and I’ve send texts out checking if this was right – which I don’t wanna do too much, because the guys that give me this stuff have been right for years. So I’m not going to text them and go ‘you sure?, you sure, you sure?'”
In other news concerning Daniel Bryan, the ‘leader of the Yes movement’ recently revealed which one of his WWE championship reigns was his favorite in a new interview with SoloWrestling. Bryan stated the following:
“Being the Planet Champion was by far my favorite,” Bryan said [translated into English via Google Translate]. “It’s interesting because in WWE my reigns have never been very good (laughs). I won the championship at WrestleMania XXX but had to vacate it some time later due to a neck injury, and I also won the World Heavyweight Championship in 2011 but lost it in 18 seconds at WrestleMania XXVIII. Those reigns didn’t feel as special as when I was the Planet Champion and the bad boy. I loved the way it started, and everyone who competes hates losing a championship, but if we’re going to lose it, let it be in a great match at WrestleMania against someone who really deserves it, and that’s what happened when I lost that one. fight against Kofi Kingston. I had a lot of fun with that reign and I loved the hemp championship.”
Bryan continued:
“Being good and being bad is a relative perception,” he continued. I will probably still be myself, and from one day to the next — which is one of the things that I find most interesting in life and in the world of wrestling — is that people evolve… you don’t expect it. I’d love to say that everyone thinks I’m the good guy and they want to cheer me on in the fights, but sometimes my ideology is unpopular, especially in the US (laughs). Probably in the rest of the world I can be a good boy and they think ‘good! He fights for the environment!’
