10 amazing backstage WWE photos - Part 1

#6) Daniel Bryan

This is one hell of a bittersweet picture. The sweet part is we see Daniel Bryan in the absolute prime of his “Respect the Beard” run where he enjoyed such incredible success and became the most popular superstar in the world.

The bitter part? Well, we’re reminded of a man who was forced into retirement much too early. Sure, it’s nice to see him on Smackdown Live as General Manager but it’s a shadow of seeing Bryan perform in the ring.
