Daniel Bryan defeated AJ Styles the week before the 2018 Survivor Series pay-per-view to become WWE Champion and has since developed a new attitude and refers to himself as “The New” Daniel Bryan. AJ’s #1 contender victory is coming off the helms of him punching Vince McMahon on last week’s show and during the tapings tonight, AJ refused to apologize for what he did to the Chairman.
