Everyone loves a good haircut.

The reaction to Daniel Bryan's shorn reveal at TLC 2019 was huge. It was akin to the merriment that must've been going on in households around the globe during much-needed barber trips between government-imposed lockdowns last year. Finally, here was the DB of old - that stringy mop of greasy hair was gone, and the beard with it.

Aesthetics aside, Bryan's feud with the 'Fiend' also proved that Wyatt's alter ego could have good matches. Their 'Strap' effort at the 2020 Royal Rumble, in particular, was a fine piece of work, and Dan parlayed that success into more wonderful efforts further down the card. Cherish this man for as long as you can, because he's a wrestling machine.

He's proven that against (and with) Drew Gulak, AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Cesaro, Sami Zayn and others. When motivated, Bryan is simply one of the best babyfaces around. Never forget that it was the 'Fiend' who manufactured Daniel's shift back from heel to 'Yes Movement' a year or so ago.
