The official website of Rolling Stone has published a new article which looks at the rise of Daniel Bryan in WWE, as well as the explosion of popularity behind his “Yes! Movement.”
When asked about his popularity as compared to Steve Austin, “When you look at Steve Austin, if he’d happened in different eras, he would have been hated. Hulk Hogan, if he came out now saying, ‘America, take your vitamins,’ and he’s this jacked-up dude, you would get people going, ‘Wait, what? I hate this guy.’ To me, it’s whether you fit into the atmosphere.”
He also spoke about what he wants for his future with his fiancee, WWE Diva Brie Bella. “Brie and I would like a simple organic farm that’s not farming to sell stuff, but just to be self-sufficient. You never know what the world’s gonna be like.”
Brie put over her future husband as a guy who is changing the perception of “smaller guys” in the business. “Daniel is making not only your hardcore wrestling fan base, but your casual viewer, look at the smaller guys differently.”
– NXT star Sami Zayn will be wrestling on WWE’s upcoming tour of Saudi Arabia later this month (4/17-19). is being advertised for WWE’s tour of Saudi Arabia on April 17th, 18th and 19th. He is scheduled to face Alberto Del Rio.

Also confirmed on Monday’s RAW was the fact that Ryback and Curtis Axel will be part of the WWE Tag-Team Championship match at WrestleMania XXX against the current champions, The Usos.
Finally, WWE announced The Shield vs. Kane and The New Age Outlaws in a six-man tag-team contest for the show.
– It was announced on Monday’s edition of WWE RAW that at WrestleMania XXX, AJ Lee will defend her WWE Divas Championship in a “Vickie Guerrero Diva Invitational” match.

According to one report, there’s a decent possibility that both Bryan and Bella will win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and WWE Divas Championship at WrestleMania. The general consensus is that there’s no great reason not to, considering many expect Bryan to win the title anyways, and since the Divas title doesn’t have any real connection in terms of drawing money, it might as well be used as a prop to at least tell a good story.
Brie Bella voiced her displeasure over Daniel Bryan not winning the WWE Elimination Chamber match on Sunday night. She tweeted the following after the pay-per-view ended:
You have to be kidding!!!! Wow! I really thought @WWEDanielBryan was going to win! #NoNoNo

Today I will wear this with pride. They keep trying to keep him down but they will never succeed. My… http://t.co/GL1Npl4Cq8

“I will be back soon … Don’t listen to the rumors!!!”
– Brie Bella recently spoke with Bang Showbiz to promote the upcoming season of Total Divas and talked about Daniel Bryan filming for the show:
”When we started ‘Total Divas’ it was really hard at first, because you notice the cameras. But after around two weeks we just totally didn’t them. My sister is very loud and funny, and as you can see I’m much quieter than her and so is Daniel. He would just be at our house, staring at the crew and would say, ‘We don’t live an exciting life, is this fun for you guys? Because we don’t know if this is fun.’ They were like, ‘This is great, pretend we’re not here, don’t talk to us.’ Now we’re so used to it, we’ll say things and then we’ll look at each other and be like, ‘Gosh, did they catch that?’ ”
The following are highlights of a recent interview with WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan from TheClassical.org:
On his relationship with Brie Bella: We very rarely get time off, so for us, it’s mostly just recovering from wrestling. A lot of times, I’ll leave on Friday and I don’t get home ’til Wednesday, so then I have the rest of Wednesday, which I’m exhausted [for], and then Thursday, [for] which I spend a lot of the day packing for the weekend. We don’t go on a lot of dates per se. Our lives are relatively boring in comparison to what you would think.
But when we do get some time off, like for Valentine’s Day [2013], we had like four days off, and we went to Sedona, Arizona, which is like a little piece of Heaven. We did some stargazing. We went hiking. We went on this guided spiritual tour thing. It was so much fun. It was beautiful. It was out in the mountains and all that kind of stuff. That’s kind of the thing that we’re into.
On what wrestling can learn from MMA and vice-versa: Okay, so there’s a lot of things that wrestling can take from MMA. One of the things that MMA does very, very well—and boxing does this, too—is creating personality profiles leading up to big fights, like the 24/7 stuff and the UFC Countdownspecials—promoting people as personalities and how they’re training and how important this particular fight is for these fighters. I think they do an incredible job with that, especially given that they don’t have the hours of TV time that we do on WWE.
For example, if you would have seen [something on] me and John Cena, one of the interesting aspects is how different we are and the different lifestyles we lead and how we train. He’s very strong at doing the Olympic lifts. Whenever we go somewhere and we’re doing some Olympic lifts, people will always comment, one, on how strong he is, and two, on how great his form is. He’s worked extensively on his Olympic lifting—snatches, clean-and-jerks, all that kind of stuff. If he wasn’t wrestling and focused exclusively on that, [he’d] probably [be] world-class. For me, I do train with Olympic lifting and that sort of thing, but I’d rather be kickboxing and grappling. That’s how I train for wrestling. Those kind of personality profiles would really enhance the company [if they would] really get a look at people as they’re training for a big match.
What MMA can take from us is a lot, especially [with] fighters after they win. ‘Hey, is there anybody that you’d like to fight next?’ and when they’re just kind of like [apathetic voice], ‘Oh, you know, just whoever Dana White wants me to face,’ and that sort of thing. No, man! That’s a chance for you to get yourself over or to make a challenge. I think more and more guys are starting to get that now, especially with how successful Chael Sonnen has been with just using his mouth. Even somebody like Quinton Jackson was such a big talker. Any time that you can add something to yourself and make yourself more marketable, that’s going to help you in the long run, and that’s going to help whatever company that you’re fighting for, whether it be boxing, MMA or that sort of thing.
They could probably even take some stuff from having exciting ring entrances or fancier ring gear. You see that a lot with boxing. You get those awesome robes.
The exclusion of Daniel Bryan in the Royal Rumble match on Sunday night continues to be a hot topic in the wrestling world. The following are some Twitter comments from current and former WWE Superstars giving their take on the subject:
TMZ has picked up the coverage of WWE Diva Brie Bella’s bachelorette party, which took place on Saturday night at the Prep Kitchen in San Diego, California. Bella, along with the rest of the bachelorette party, all wore “Daniel Bryan beards” during the festivities.
The article also notes that the wedding of Bella and Bryan will be filmed for the second season of WWE’s “Total Divas” reality show, meaning it’s a two-wedding season, as the Naomi and Jimmy Uso wedding was also filmed recently for season number two.

– Former WWE wrestler Chris Masters will be appearing at The Wrestling Guy Store 6085 State St. Huntington Park, California, on Sunday, January 12, 2014 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. (Event Information)
We have noted in the past that former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis has had issues with current WWE Divas The Bella Twins, most notably for what she feels was a move made by the Bella’s to “block her” and other former WWE Divas from returning to the company.
Kanellis revealed during a recent interview with Live Audio Wrestling in Canada that the Bella’s father actually called her at one point to ask her to stop saying hurtful things about his daughters. Maria also noted that her father ended up on the phone and got involved in a shouting match with the Bella’s father.
