Bryan Danielson loved working with Bray Wyatt

During a recent interview with The Daily Star, Danielson recalled his feud with Bray Wyatt and said he loved working with him.
"So I loved working with Bray. I worked with him several times. We had a match, after I left The Wyatt Family, at that Royal Rumble that I really enjoyed. I got to wrestle him as ‘The Fiend’. That was a lot of fun. He’s just someone that I really miss, Brodie [Lee] was also involved in that, and I was close with him. So it was a fun time," Bryan recalled.
