Daniel Bryan discusses his issue with feud vs CM Punk
Daniel Bryan appeared on FS1’s WWE Backstage on Tuesday to discuss his feud with CM Punk.
“This was a period where Punk and I are doing stuff with the WWE Championship against each other, and we’re not in the main event?” Bryan said. “I don’t get rubbed the wrong way very often, but that was just like one of those things. We did a title match once—the main event was John Cena versus my now father-in-law [John Laurinaitis]. So, this is all starting to get weird.
“John Cena vs. John Laurinaitis, that was in the main event, but Punk and I had a title match and it was like this weird thing where we had three pay-per-view title matches. Two singles, where none of them were the main event, and then the other one, we get Kane involved. So, I remember being in these title matches and be like, ‘Hey, let’s go out and really show them.'”
Punk has since left the company. Bryan on the other hand was forced to retire before he made a stunning return. He had another run with the WWE title. He is set to face AJ Styles in the finals of the Intercontinental championship tournament.
