Big E reacts to Daniel Bryan's comments about him in WWE
Big E revealed that he was humbled by what Daniel Bryan thought about his work in WWE.
"It means a lot coming from a guy like him. To have earned his respect and to have him push for me is important. It’s humbling I guess in many ways and like I said, it’s not that I didn’t see this for myself, I thought I could be very good. But I always felt like I was the guy who was overlooked. Like when I was in FCW, I was overlooked. I always felt like I was on the chopping block. No one ever said that, but I was always in the matches with the guys who were soon to be released. Even in NXT, the first several months of NXT I wasn’t even on the show. Then I got the five-count and I was able to run with that, but I guess I always had that insecurity. Maybe that’s what it is, maybe I need to address that within myself [laughs]."
However, then he went on to talk about facing Daniel Bryan in a WWE ring and how much The New Day had enjoyed it. They also had a WWE Tag title match with Big E and Daniel Bryan facing off.
"I so thoroughly enjoyed the times we’ve been in the ring together and we haven’t that many opportunities. I think we had Rowan and Bryan when they were together, we had a tag match with them and in the last few minutes of that title match it was me and Bryan going back and forth."
