Retirements are always hard to digest and when it is of stars who are universally loved, it gets even tougher to deal with it. Daniel Bryan’s retirement segment on RAW was drenched with emotion and left every fan with moist eyes.
WWE superstars and legends took to Twitter and sent out their messages regarding the retirement of one of the most over superstars of the last decade. Below are the best ones of the lot we put together:
