It was emotional last night on RAW and you can feel the adrenaline running through Bryan’s body when the whole arena was chanting YES with for Bryan. It’s always hard to digest retirement and especially for superstars like Daniel Bryan who is loved globally and has to retire at this early age where he could accomplish a lot more in the wrestling world.
The retirement of Bryan came as a shock to the entire pro wrestling industry as well as to the fans as they were left with moist eyes at the end of the show. They never expected to see Bryan retiring this early after his small journey in WWE.
WWE superstars and legends used the Twitter and sent out their messages to bring their heart out for one of the most beloved superstars over the last decade. Below are some of the tweets to show the craze of the hashtag #ThankYouDanielBryan
#ThankYouDanielBryan for DOING what most only talk about. Challenging everything. Authority, conformity, perception. Redefining valor.
