After Royal Rumble 2020, viewers were eager to find out how Daniel Bryan would cope up after losing to "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt.

Just like Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and The Miz, Bryan was changed by The Fiend.

Remarkably, Daniel Bryan has been the most resistant competitor against Bray Wyatt's evil alter-ego so far. But in the end, Bryan would inevitably fall against the Universal Champion, and all of that anger and resentment was channeled towards Heath Slater during this week's episode of SmackDown.

As Wyatt moved on to bigger things, Bryan couldn't stand Slater's remarks about how foolish he was to mess around with someone like The Fiend.

During their match later on in the night, it was apparent that Bryan might have scaled back to being a frustrated heel.

But with the "YES" Movement still being a huge part of Daniel Bryan's career, it will be interesting to see how Bryan manages to cope with both sides of his own character in the next few weeks.
