During a recent chat with Miguel Uceda of SoloWrestling, Daniel Bryan noted his WWE Title reign from 2018-2019, which is where he was a heel and declared himself as the Planet Champion, was his favorite.
“Being the Planet Champion was by far my favorite,” said Bryan. “It’s interesting because in WWE my reigns have never been very good [laughs].
“I won the championship at WrestleMania XXX but had to vacate it some time later due to a neck injury, and I also won the World Heavyweight Championship in 2011 but lost it in 18 seconds at WrestleMania XXVIII. Those reigns didn’t feel as special as when I was Planet Champion and bad boy.”
“I loved the way it started, and everyone who competes hates to lose a championship, but if we’re going to lose it, let it be in a great match at WrestleMania against someone who really deserves it, and that’s what happened when I lost that one against Kofi Kingston. I had a lot of fun with that reign and I loved the hemp championship.”
