WWE News: Daniel Bryan wanted to face Brock Lesnar before retirement

WWE universe has always wanted to see this ultimate David vs. Goliath version in the WWE ring. We are talking about a Daniel Bryan vs. Brock Lesnar match which was left unfulfilled by the WWE despite having a huge chance. Daniel Bryan returned after his neck surgery to feature in a number one contender’s match for the WWE World heavyweight Championship in the Fastlane PPV.

While many had thought that out of crowd’s demand Daniel would make it to the main event of Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 31, WWE took the easiest way by sending Roman Reigns against the beast.

Recently Daniel Bryan has joined an interview with The Kingston Whig-Standard where he spoke up his mind with the match that never really came out to fruition. He said, “When I came back from my neck surgery — and I have this really bad habit, it’s like I’m a glutton for punishment — I was like, ‘OK, I’m going to see how strong my neck is and to see if it can still take some of this stuff. ”

 

 

Bryan said his goal was to face Lesnar at the main event of Wrestlemania. However, he himself was not sure of how his neck would respond, “What I really wanted was, I wanted a match with Brock Lesnar, that was my thing. But I didn’t want to go into the match with Brock Lesnar (having) that be the first time I ever take a German suplex (following) my neck surgery. So, I wrestled Luke Harper and he German suplexed me on my head and everybody was like, ‘Oh my gosh, why did you do that?!’ It’s because I have this mentality of, ‘well.”

He concluded by saying, “I don’t want to go in there against Brock knowing he’s probably going to give me one zillion German suplexes and not having taken a German suplex before and not having known that my neck was going to be ok.”
