Daniel Bryan's influence backstage in WWE seems to have increased significantly since the last contract he signed with the company. While Daniel Bryan himself was nearly a victim of bad creative decisions in 2013-14 when he was the hottest WWE star on the roster, things seem to have changed quite a bit - particularly his relationship with Vince McMahon.

While Daniel Bryan hasn't been a main event star for the most part in 2020, Wrestlingnews.co reported that Daniel Bryan has significant creative influence - especially for himself. However, he has also reportedly been responsible for a number of creative changes on SmackDown, with the Wrestling Observer Newsletter even backing up these claims:

A WWE Hall of Famer isn't a John Cena fan. More details HERE

"Bryan pitches a lot of his own ideas. Sometimes Vince McMahon and Bruce [Prichard] will turn down an idea but a lot of the things he has pitched have been used on TV.”

Drew Gulak's alliance with Daniel Bryan is a result of Bryan's influence backstage. We hope that he continues to be a significant creative figure.
