10 WWE Villains With Understandable Motives
2. Daniel Bryan - Planet's Champion
Only in the 21st century could fans boo a man who was preaching about trying to save the planet.
"Boooo, you made a sustainable, recycled hemp WWE title!"
Yet, after Daniel Bryan low-blowed himself to world title glory in a 2018 SmackDown match with the WWE Champion, AJ Styles, we suddenly found ourselves with a heel D-Bry for the first time in years.
What would be his reasoning for turning his back on the 'YES!' movement?
Well, the 'New' Daniel Bryan claimed that fans weren't with him throughout his recovery and stated how he was simply doing what he needed to do in order to fulfil his dreams.
By completely disowning the 'fickle' WWE Universe, Bryan instead became the Planet's Champion and dedicated his reign to chastising the consumer culture that was destroying the world we live in.
It was pretty difficult to argue with someone who was driven to salvaging what was left of the globe and before long, the cheers became deafening again and we now currently find ourselves with a babyface Daniel Bryan once more.
