He revealed he had to loan tights from WWE Alum Haku for the match, and they were too big, he added things were popping out here and there throughout the bout.



Daniel Bryan is retired:


That is the view of Hall Of Famer Bret Hart...


"Daniel Bryan is finished. He'll never wrestle again. I don't think he knows it yet. I feel terrible about Daniel Bryan. For all intents and purposes, he had the exact same thing happen to him that happened to me after Bill Goldberg kicked me in the head. One day, you learn it's over. Doctors tell you that you can't wrestle and you'll never wrestle again. I lost millions of dollars because of that. I pray that it's not the same for Daniel Bryan."
