If you've played WWE 2K19, you may know that Daniel Bryan did not exactly start his WWE career on NXT in 2010.

Instead, Bryan first joined in the early 2000s, and though he would have lengthy matches, would almost always come out on the losing end.

Appearing on SmackDown's B-Show Velocity, Bryan would face off against fellow future-WWE World Champion John Cena, in a match that the Chaingang leader would win.

After leaving, Bryan would return in 2010, and would capture the United States Championship that same year.

His first taste of gold, Bryan would go on to become one of the WWE's most beloved stars of all time, before turning heel late last year to win the WWE Title, which he still holds to this day.
