WWE's original Nexus: Where are they now?

#6 Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan made his WWE debut as part of The Nexus back in 2010 but was fired just after their debut when he was seen on camera attacking Justin Roberts with a tie, which the company felt was too violent and that they had sponsors to deal with.

Bryan made his shock return to WWE merely weeks later when he was part of Team WWE as they took on Team Nexus at SummerSlam. In storyline, Nexus had kicked Bryan out of the group so it made sense that he would return and go against his former team.

Bryan has since gone on to become one of the most popular stars in WWE, is a former World Champion, and almost had his career cut short through injury back in 2016.

Bryan has since been able to make his return after rehabbing his injury for a number of years and currently performs on the SmackDown brand. During Bryan's time on the sidelines, he was also the General Manager of SmackDown, a position that he left when he was cleared to return.

Don’t worry @DrewGulak, even in hotel room quarantine I’m still training for my match with @WWECesaro this Friday. #SorryImNotInMySpandex #BryanGulakConnection pic.twitter.com/LjLmsMsKfX
