10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (March 30)
6. Daniel Bryan's Comeback Speech Gave Lana Hope
"If you fight for your dreams, your dreams will fight for you".
Those were Daniel Bryan's words (quoting Brie Bella) on the 20 March episode of SmackDown. Celebrating the announcement that he was once again cleared to wrestle, Bryan fought back the tears and told how much his wife had helped him stay grounded when he thought his career was over.
Backstage, Lana was fighting back some tears too, because she told Hollywood Life that Daniel's promo inspired her to keep striving for her own dreams in the face of adversity. Reading social media and seeing comments about her mistakes in the ring have had an effect on Lana, but Bryan's positivity is infectious.
Now, she hopes to use his story to inspire her own and become a better worker. There's something cool about that. It's easy to forget that everyone has to start somewhere, and it's hardly Lana's fault that she's been pushed into situations before she's truly ready.
Best of luck on this blessed Rusev Day, Lana.
