Daniel Bryan On His Health Following In-Ring Return, Why He Adjusted His Style, Who He Wants to Face After The Miz

WWE star Daniel Bryan recently spoke with ESPN and below are some interview highlights:

On how he feels following his WWE in-ring return:

Every single match I’ve had since I’ve come back, I felt good afterwards,” Bryan said. “Health-wise, I felt really good until this weekend. I did a full European tour where I wrested every night, and the hardest part about that was missing my baby more so than anything else. But physically I felt great. Then this week I did something and it just reminded me I’m 37 years old. We wrestled Saturday night in Pensacola, Florida and then had a four-hour drive to Albany, Georgia and I don’t know what happened, but I got out of the car and I’m holding my back and thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, what happened?!’”

On adjusting his in-ring style to allow for career longevity:

“When I came back at WrestleMania, people wanted to make sure that the old Daniel Bryan could still be there,” he said. “The guy that that they loved. I gradually and slowly want to phase some of those things out and incorporate new things. Like I started doing the heel hook, which automatically incorporates working someone’s leg more and that’s more ground based and not as much flying around. Since I’ve comeback I’ve done very few dives through the ropes, so I’m slowly phasing things out so people don’t miss it anymore. It’s not like I came back and I’m this completely different guy that the fans don’t recognize. It’s slowly phasing that out into something that they enjoy and is still exciting to watch.”

On who he wants to face in WWE:

“I actually do have a list of guys and it ranges from guys like AJ Styles and Goldberg to Johnny Gargano and Roderick Strong, who are down at NXT,” Bryan said. “I want to wrestle AJ, I want to wrestle Shinsuke Nakamura, I want to wrestle Andrade Cien Almas because I love Lucha. So Andrade is a true luchador, who main evented arenas in Mexico as a luchador and I want to go out there and I want to wrestle him. I have all these dream scenarios in my head where I would love to do this and that. I think that’s one of things that’s makes me so passionate about wrestling — the variety.”
