In an interview with Chris Jericho on his “Talk is Jericho” podcast, Shawn Michaels spoke about Daniel Bryan. He mentioned the October 2013 angle the two had in which HBK kicked Bryan to cost him his WWE title match with Randy Orton. Bryan got revenge the next night on RAW by putting Michaels in the “Yes Lock”. He revealed that he actually was supposed to leave after the Hell in a Cell PPV but wanted to come back and let Bryan pay him back. Here are highlights:
On watching Daniel Bryan train: “It was him, [Brian] Kendrick and Lance Cade. You could see that [they] would be three guys that were willing to pay the price and wait and starve. I remember telling [Bryan] and Kendrick that [Lance] is bigger, he’s going to get the first look. Eventually talent makes its way to the top. They were there all the time. They came hungry and stayed hungry.”
On suggesting the conclusion to his angle with Bryan in October 2013 to WWE: “With the Bryan stuff, everyone knows that I trained him. You can’t bring back any kind of Hall of Famer that’s connected to this guy, then I kick him then I leave. Let me just try to button up something for you here.”
