Brie Bella speaks on husband Daniel Bryan’s retirement from WWE

Daniel Bryan announced his retirement from WWE on Monday and his wife Brie Bella opened up on the matter

Daniel Bryan made the shocking and saddening announcement on Monday afternoon that he would be retiring from WWE due to medical concerns. Though he hadn’t been seen in a wrestling ring since just after WrestleMania 31, it was an announcement that hit wrestling fans right in the heart and shocked the wrestling world as a whole.

There has been an outpouring of love and respect for Bryan after his retirement for what he was able to accomplish in the sport. However, the most poignant message may have come from his wife and WWE Diva Brie Bella who posted a message to Instagram with a picture of the couple holding hands:

Excuse me while I get the dust out of the room; it seems to be choking me up right now.

Wrestling fans all over the world are now faced with the harsh reality that Daniel Bryan will no longer be creating magic in a WWE ring and, frankly, that’s a hard pill to swallow. However, the most touching part of his wife’s message is her saying that both she and fans around the world “haven’t lost him” but will just have the chance to see him “in a different light.” While it’s going to be hard to outshine what he was able to do as a wrestler, we should all look forward to whatever’s next for Daniel Bryan.
