When Daniel Bryan was forced to retire in 2016, everyone was emotional.

Bryan had become one of the company' most beloved babyfaces, capturing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in 2014, before having to surrender the title due to injury.

So when Bryan returned to action in 2018, fans were rightly excited.

As the 'Yes! Man' continued to impress fans, he eventually found himself facing WWE Champion AJ Styles on the go-home show for Survivor Series.

With the referee down, Bryan quickly revealed his true colors, laying Styles out with a devastating low blow to capture the title, ending the year-long reign of the Phenomenal One.

Now one of WWE's most despised heels, Bryan has foregone all that made fans loved him, and now with Erick Rowan by his side, it seems the new Bryan is here to stay.
