WWE Told Daniel Bryan To Stop Talking About The Environment

You may remember that in 2019, Daniel Bryan became the biggest heel in the company by daring to talk about the environment, you know that thing humanity is destroying all the time.

Bryan later turned face again, largely because of the Fiend but also because he stopped talking about the environment. He revealed while speaking to My San Antonio that WWE actually asked him to stop doing it because it was a “political issue”.

“When I was doing the environmental thing, they actually told me to stop talking about the environment because they told me it was a political issue and we don’t want to deal with politics. I said, ‘It’s not a political issue. It’s a scientific issue, and the sciences pretty much prove it.’

“So rather than looking at it from a right or left point of view, let’s look at it as, ‘Hey, improving the environment is a bulletproof idea to improve all of our children’s lives.’ And I think that’s also something that people can get behind, too. But how you do that in a wrestling format? I have no idea.”

From now on, heels will have to return to the comfortable land of making fun of local sports teams.
