During the recent edition of The Bella Twins’ podcast, Daniel Bryan commented on his “wardrobe malfunction” at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On not realizing it happened until the next day: “So I didn’t find out about it because nobody backstage when I came to the back actually, ah — mostly, people were either saying ‘Whoa, oh man that was great!’ or they were concerned for my neck. Like, several people [were] very mad at me, concerned about my neck. [laughs] And so not a single person mentioned it. I went to sleep [that] night not even knowing that it was a thing. I didn’t feel anything, and you’d think because that’s a sensitive area, you’d think you’d feel a breeze or something like that, you know? But [that] night it wasn’t even a thing. It wasn’t a thing [next] morning until I landed, and I got two text messages from friends. And all my friends know, I’m the worst texter. I never get back or anything like that. So people stop sending you text messages. So that meant when I got two text messages from people saying, ‘Dude, I saw your balls!’ [laughs] I was like, ‘What?’ I didn’t know what was going on.”
On how he reacted when he found out: “So your first reaction is a little bit of embarrassment. But then I just thought it was funny. Because for example, if your boobs come out … And then all these guys — I don’t want to say all these guys, but traditionally men — are like, ‘Boobs, yay!’ I didn’t see when I looked on social media, nobody said, ‘Balls, yay!’ [laughs]”
On the difference in wardrobe malfunctions between genders: “Well so, it’s really interesting. Because that’s the reaction that women have [being embarrassed for the person]. And I think it’s because whenever it happens to women, it gets overly sexualized, right? And then so it’s like, ‘Ooh, I saw this’ or whatever like that … I think that’s the difference, is because people sexualize it for you guys. Whereas for me — and I wish it wsn’t this way, but it’s just like a ball-out. Nobody’s like, ‘Oh, I wan’t to see some pictures of balls.’”
