Bryan Danielson on His Stint on the WWE Creative Team, Loved Working With Bruce Prichard

– During a recent appearance on The Sessions with Renee Paquette during Starrcast V, AEW star Bryan Danielson discussed his stint as part of the WWE creative team. Danielson also had praise for Bruce Prichard and said he loved working with him. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Bryan Danielson how he started working on the WWE creative team: “The pandemic was happening. Somebody in one of my segments, it was right before Brie was about to give birth to our son Buddy. It was a month before that, somebody in one of my segments got COVID. They called me and were like, ‘You were in a segment with somebody who got COVID. A bunch of people in the segment got COVID. You might have COVID.’ I tested and didn’t have COVID, but I requested, ‘I don’t think I should come to work, my wife is pregnant and due soon.’ They were fine and great with that. Bruce Prichard called me and said, ‘I know you’re gone, but would you like to be part of the creative team and meetings?’ They were doing them through Zoom. I said ‘Yeah.’ I loved it. I know a lot of people have talked a lot of crap about writers. It’s a thankless job. There are a lot of smart, fun, writers.”

Danielson on dealing with Bruce Prichard: “I loved dealing with Bruce Prichard. Some people talk bad about Bruce, I love Bruce. I really enjoyed it.”

Danielson later departed from WWE in April 2021. He signed with AEW later that year and debuted at All Out in September.
