The WWE Superstar sat down with BuzzFeed to talk about the crowd reaction at the Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania 31, his cousin The Rock, and the upcoming WWE tour of Australia.
1. On his roller coaster year in the WWE - including becoming a top singles star, getting injured, then returning to win the Royal Rumble:
WWE
"If there's one way to describe my life in the past year, it's been extremely busy. But it's been exciting, especially in the past month or so because the real drama seems to be going down. But that's a good thing, because when you're in such a high-profile position like I am at this point it has to be that way. It has to be emotional, it has to have some drama to it. Because that's where the suspense is, that's where the excitement comes from. If everything was flat lined and became easy and calm then there's nothing cool about that. I'm excited for what I've been through, and where I'm going."
2. On the negative reaction he received at the Royal Rumble in Philadelphia:
WWE
"I was pretty aware on what was going to happen. I read my Twitter here and there and I can see the tweets from fans of Daniel Bryan, and Philly is a rowdy crowd in general anyway. But when they have a purpose, or they have a plan, they get it done. They went out with a mission to have their voices heard and they did, and that's the reason why we are where we at now. It was also a great opportunity to prove myself for a "what have you done for me lately" type business, so every performance means something, every week is a new week and you have to be on the top of your game. You have the bring the best product you can every single week, that's what makes it so exciting about being a WWE superstar, because the WWE universe is so demanding, for me as a performer, I have a huge respect for the fans."
