A new live report suggests that Daniel Bryan may have been frustrated immediately following his Royal Rumble elimination. Shaheen, who co-hosts the The Hot Tag Podcast, shared his observation of Bryan and said the superstar seemed very frustrated as he headed to the back:
“Not exactly sure what happened, but we were near backstage and he walked right by all of us. We said hello and he paused, looked at us with a blank stare and then walked off. He looked super pissed and completely ignored all of is. It was very awkward to say the least…It was really weird. I know people will want to believe that he was just ‘selling’ it, but it was strange. I’d like to think that I have a pretty good understanding of kayfabe and this seemed legit. He wasn’t selling anything. There were 10 of us there and he really came off like an a—hole, which is really unusual for Bryan.”
Another fan posted the following, saying the same thin:
Bryan also took to Twitter today to thank his fans, posting:
Thanks to all of you for your support, not just last night but for years. You guys are the best, and I am truly the luckiest man alive.
