Daniel Bryan Says He Would Quit WWE If He Had the “Guts”, Admits Miz Was Right Last Week, Why WWE Won’t Allow Him & Miz on TV Together

August 30, 2016

During tonight’s edition of “Talking Smack”, Daniel Bryan offered more candid thoughts on what happened on last week’s show, and he again apologized to The Miz for the things he said. He also apologized to Renee Young for walking off the set of the show, and added him and Miz can often times push each other’s buttons.

As for why he didn’t punch Miz in the face last week, Bryan said the thing that upset him the most about Miz’s comments is that Miz was right. Bryan added he would quit WWE if he had the “guts” and go work the independent scene. He clarified, however, that he would likely not be working “bingo halls” but more like “Tokyo Domes”.

Bryan says he feels healthy, but despite how he feels, he does have his health to worry about, and he noted he and Brie Bella are trying to get pregnant, so there’s turmoil when it comes to Bryan wrestling again. Bryan finished by saying Miz pressed all of those buttons with his words last week, which is why WWE is not allowing them to work together on TV anymore.
