3 WWE Superstars Daniel Bryan requested to work with and 2 he did not

#1 Daniel Bryan requested to work with Gran Metalik

Before “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt pulled out Daniel Bryan’s hair on an episode of SmackDown in November 2019, the WrestleMania 30 main-eventer originally intended to grow out his hair to set up a future Hair vs. Mask match.

Speaking to Yahoo! Sports in January 2019, Daniel Bryan praised WWE’s 205 Live roster, particularly Gran Metalik, and said he would like to face the Lucha House Party member in a match with a Hair vs. Mask stipulation one day.

"It's not this selfless thing, it's actually a selfish thing. I want to wrestle the best guys on the planet. Some of those best guys are on 205 Live. We have Gran Metalik here and he's one of the best luchadores in the world and he's on that show. Man, would I love to wrestle that guy in a Mask vs. Hair match. That's sometimes where my passion gets ahead of me."

As of the time of writing, Daniel Bryan and Gran Metalik have still never faced each other in a WWE match.

However, according to Wrestling News Co, Daniel Bryan has had an influence behind the scenes on SmackDown in the summer of 2020, and he was reportedly the person who pitched the Intercontinental Championship Fatal 4-Way No.1 contender’s match between Gran Metalik, Lince Dorado, Shorty G, and Drew Gulak.

Metalik won the match and earned an Intercontinental Championship opportunity against AJ Styles.
