5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Popular RAW star at risk of losing his job, WWE building top SmackDown star for a major title win?

#4. Hope is true: Daniel Bryan's influence on WWE creative and Vince McMahon

Daniel Bryan might not have been getting a big push from WWE in 2020, but that doesn't mean that he hasn't had his presence felt. Drew Gulak is a Superstar who we know he was pushing for, but it turns out that WWE has been taking some creative assistance from Daniel Bryan as well. Wrestlingnews.co reported that Daniel Bryan has been responsible for some major changes backstage:

"Bryan pitches a lot of his own ideas. Sometimes Vince McMahon and Bruce [Prichard] will turn down an idea but a lot of the things he has pitched have been used on TV.”

We hope this is true because it's always good to have new, modern, and fresh minds handling certain creative aspects. It can help build a long-term change creatively and result in a fresh product - something that's always needed in the world of WWE. Edge is another WWE star who reportedly has creative control as well.
