[h1]WWE News: Daniel Bryan says WWE officials don't see him as marketable, wasn't surprised by the crowd reaction at the Royal Rumble[/h1]
WWE star Daniel Bryan spoke with Sam Roberts of Sirius/XM satellite radio and Katie Linendoll at WWE Axxess on Friday and said he wasn't surprised by the fan reaction at the Royal Rumble. "I knew this year," Bryan said "I knew going in. I was like, well... You take your marching orders and you hope that they know what's best for the company and whatnot, but, you know, it turned out okay, I guess [laughs]."
Bryan was also asked whether his health has anything to do with him not being champion. "I don't know," he said. "I think that's less of an issue than they're concerned about Daniel Bryan being the WWE World Heavyweight Champion because he's not very marketable [laughs]. So I've realized that's more of their concern than the injury thing.
"I've had multiple people in the high levels of WWE say, "Hey, listen, you need to stop doing some of these things that you do.' They have legitimate concerns over my healthy and wellbeing, which is nice, but also I feel like I consider myself an artist and I like to go out there and create art the way I like to create art."
