#2 Bryan Danielson talks about his match with Brock Lesnar
After Bryan Danielson turned heel and defeated AJ Styles to win the WWE title, he was pitted in a Champion vs Champion match with Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series 2018. The two stars stole the show and put on one of the best matches of the year.
During a recent appearance on Casual Conversations, Danielson described working with Lesnar as one of the highlights of his WWE career:
How Brock Lesnar ruined another wrestler's career - Watch Now!
"I got to do so much fun, good wrestling," said Danielson. "Some of my favorite moments in my career are there. A match with Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania 35, I always remember that. You know, and my daughter was there, and she came like, that was her first WrestleMania. Getting to wrestle Brock [Lesnar], you know, there were some really cool matches and moments, you know what I mean," Danielson continued. "Some of the live event stuff that I did with Randy Orton is just fantastic. A lot of that stuff were like, man, you know, it was really great wrestling," said Danielson.
While Danielson and Lesnar had a great match, it was unfortunate that they never got to face off at WrestleMania with an elaborate build. It's now unlikely that these two icons of professional wrestling will square off again.
#1 Sami Zayn unhappy with Brock Lesnar stealing his moment
On the most recent episode of SmackDown, Sami Zayn won a battle royal to become the number one contender for the Universal Championship.
However, his moment in the spotlight was short lived as Kayla Braxton immediately announced that Brock Lesnar's suspension had been lifted and that the Beast Incarnate would return next week.
Zayn was furious and vented his frustrations on Talking Smack:
“Right, right, what a way to go off the air! Sami Zayn gets one of the biggest wins of his entire career. Beats... how many men? 18 men? 20 men? How many men were in that match? Oh, you don't know? No one knows, no one has answers. But, instead of going off on a career highlight for a generational talent, like Sami Zayn, who has been oppressed, who has been marginalized, and been cast aside for months, years, conveniently... we find airtime to make the blockbuster announcement for Brock Lesnar’s return. As if Brock Lesnar hasn’t had enough television time. As if Brock Lesnar hasn't had enough hype," said Zayn.
Sami Zayn will probably get his title shot on television. It's unlikely he'll get to main event a pay-per-view with Roman Reigns.
