Bray Wyatt: ‘Daniel Bryan Is One Of The Greatest Of All Time But This Is Not His Time, It’s Mine’

On the 12/27 episode of WWE SmackDown, Daniel Bryan earned an opportunity at the WWE Universal Championship against “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at the Royal Rumble.

Bray Wyatt took to his personal Instagram to comment on this match referencing back to the match that the two had at the Royal Rumble event in 2014.

Wyatt, who is typically far-less character-oriented on Instagram, praised the work ethic of both Bryan and himself as he says neither of them was ever meant to be a cornerstone member of the WWE roster. Wyatt also hypes this upcoming bout as a match that will make him synonymous with the industry.

In 2014 I had one of my favorite bouts of my career against Daniel Bryan at The Royal Rumble. Bryan was red hot, it was his time. He went on to main event WrestleMania and become the champ. Deservedly so, Bryan is without a doubt the best I’ve ever been in the ring with. Fast forward to 2020…… The Fiend vs Daniel Bryan at The Royal Rumble. Bryan is like myself in the fact that no one said, “This is a guy we should build our companies future around!”, the first time we walked in the door. WE had to scratch and claw, outwork, out talk, out perform everyone on the pedestal in front of us. Daniel Bryan is one of the greatest of all time. But this is not his time, it’s mine. This is when my name becomes synonymous with the industry I have given my life to. I want to thank you Bryan for the blood we’ve spilled together over the years. But understand, for me, this is my war worth dying for. The choice isn’t mine to make. Good luck #Fiend
