Approximately 12 months on from hating it, Daniel Bryan is now loving life in WWE again.

Reborn as a heel for the first time since 2012, Bryan has finally shed the horrid memories of his unwanted SmackDown General Manager run and is now riding high as WWE Champion. He's getting solid heel heat too, and it's coming from an audience that used to dote on him. Things have turned around for DB, but he was in a reflective mood this week.

In this article, you'll find out what Daniel's real thoughts were as he returned to the ring at WrestleMania 34 then collided with Big Cass, teamed with his wife Brie Bella and resumed his issues with The Miz on Tuesday nights.
