#4. Daniel Bryan - a new important creative figure in WWE?
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.
