Daniel Bryan Discusses Butting Heads With WWE Creative Team While Pursuing His Goals

Daniel Bryan is attempting to achieve the goals that he has set out to do with the second part of his career as an in-ring performer now is underway.

The former WWE Champion spoke to IGN to talk about his career being featured in the 2K Showcase mode in the upcoming WWE 2K19 video game that is slated to be released on October 9, 2018 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In this interview, Bryan touched upon his goals in the WWE and butting heads with the WWE creative team.

“So they’re not along the lines of ‘Okay, time to main event WrestleMania 35!’ It’s not stuff like that. Creating goals like that are very difficult in WWE and can often leave you disappointed because you don’t have control over a lot of things.”

Bryan continued by saying that the only thing that he does have control over is his performance. He also has artistic goals that he’s trying to reach and places he wants to go with his wrestling and character. By doing that, he admitted that sometimes he has to go up against the creative machine and what they want for you vs. what you want for yourself.

“That’s a constant whirlwind and back-and-forth trade-off and whatnot. So I do have those types of goals but they’re not main eventing WrestleMania or winning the Rumble or things you don’t have any say in.”

Bryan is slated to take on The Miz in a singles match at the upcoming SummerSlam pay-per-view event that takes place this Sunday (August 19, 2018) in Brooklyn, New York at the Barclays Center on the WWE Network.
