Ahead of challenging MJF for the AEW World Championship in a 60-minute Iron Man match tonight at AEW Revolution, Bryan Danielson was in conversation with Uproxx.

Known in WWE as Daniel Bryan, the AEW wrestler went on to disclose WWE management’s perception of him after he won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of WrestleMania XXX. He said,

“After WrestleMania 30, when I had won the championship and just main evented WrestleMania, they had a meeting with me where it was like, ‘Okay, what we’d really like is to do is to set this other guy up to be the guy.’ I think the phrase was the next John Cena. And I was like, ‘I would like to be the next John Cena,’ (and they said) nobody can be John Cena.”

“I literally just main evented WrestleMania, and you’re already telling me directly — and I actually appreciated that — that you don’t see me as the guy. That’s good for me because (I knew) this is what I have to overcome if I want to be that. I never got there in WWE as far as being the company’s guy.”

In another recent interview, Bryan Danielson revealed the favorite match of his WWE career. You can check that out here.
