Daniel Bryan Reportedly Behaving Strangely After His Elimination At Royal Rumble

By Mike Bessler

Shaheen, co-host of The Hot Tag Podcast, passed along some on-site reports from the Royal Rumble in Philadelphia last night. Situated near the backstage area, Shaheen and his friends called to Bryan as he walked by them during the show and he said Bryan clearly heard them but did not interact with any of the fans in their general vicinity.

"Not exactly sure what happened, but we were near backstage and he walked right by all of us," Shaeen said. "We said hello and he paused, looked at us with a blank stare and then walked off. He looked super pissed and completely ignored all of is. It was very awkward to say the least."

"It was really weird," he added. "I know people will want to believe that he was just 'selling' it, but it was strange. I'd like to think that I have a pretty good understanding of kayfabe and this seemed legit. He wasn't selling anything. There were 10 of us there and he really came off like an a?hole, which is really unusual for Bryan."

He discusses the incident a bit further in this video.

Shaheen told us that the Philly crowd was "beyond pissed" at how the Rumble unfolded, noting that the "We want refunds!" chants really picked up after Dolph Ziggler's elimination.

Below are a few photos that he shared with us from the show.
