#3 Worst: Daniel Bryan's new persona

There is a fundamental flaw in Daniel Bryan's character, in my opinion. Bryan is a champion for the environment and the audience does not want to hear him preach. Therefore, he gets booed by the crowd. But how has AJ Styles been an enemy of the environment for all the accusations that come his way?

Bryan's character keeps spouting nonsense about how the WWE Universe is fickle and how they do not care for the planet. WWE should have done something in this regard to showcase Styles as somebody who does not care for what Daniel Bryan has to say.

We have seen way too many matches between AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan already. Granted, the two men always steal the show but for them to have the WWE Universe invested, I thought the feud needed a fresher storyline.

I feel like changing the channel every time Daniel Bryan comes on in his new gimmick, and that's not what a heel is supposed to be doing.
