Recently current WWE SmackDown Live General Manager Daniel Bryan spoke with E&C’s Pod Of Awesomeness, got in-depth on the subject of his desire to return to pro wrestling. He talked about number of wrestling topics. Here are the some Highlights:

Bryan suggested that he is not prepared to rest on his laurels by hanging his hat on his big WrestleMania moment, because ‘The Yes Man’ needs to live in the present.

“Road Dogg was talking to me, it was just like two weeks ago, and he goes, ‘do you ever sit back and think how incredible it was, like, that it ever happened, that you main evented WrestleMania?’ because that was never, like, that was never the trajectory for me or anything like that. Just, ‘what a cool moment that is.’ And then, ‘you can always hang your hat on that’ type of thing, right? And to me it’s like, ‘yes, it was a very cool moment, but I’m very much, like, I live, like, in the now, right?'”

While Bryan claimed to be happy with his wife and new baby, but pro wrestling cannot be replaced in his life. Moreover, ‘The World’s Toughest Vegan’ claimed that he is not driven by having unfinished business with WWE, but rather he is motivated to return because of his love of performing.

“I’m very happy, but wrestling is something that nothing else can replace for me, right?” Bryan added, “I’m driven by how much I enjoy the performance of it, like, so, I do honestly have goals for wrestling.”

Bryan indicated that he gave his retirement speech on RAW because he was told by doctors that he had a lesion on his brain and he assumed his professional wrestling career was over.

“I didn’t want to do it at first. And then, I talked to Brie about it, and I was like, ‘man, my friends, my family, will be there and it’s probably best.'”
