Daniel Bryan Cuts Promo at Royal Rumble Axxess Store: ‘Don’t Buy My Merchandise’

– WWE World champion Daniel Bryan cut a promo at the Royal Rumble Axxess store on Friday, going off on the merchandise available in the store. You can read some highlights from the promo below via WZ:

Daniel Bryan on his issue with the Royal Rumble store: “I’m at the Royal Rumble store at Axxess, and I’m really excited to be here! That my friends is what is called a lie. You see this place? Look around. I find this entire place to be despicable. This is what’s wrong with the world. You have all these people, all of whom have plenty of clothes and shirts, and yet we’re trying to entice them to buy more and more and more. They go, ‘Oh, we’re just trying to make the people happy.’ No, they just want your money.”

Daniel Bryan on AJ Styles’ merchandise: “You know who else wants your money? My opponent. You can get your XXXL AJ Styles shirt that you surely will fit into after you eat all the hot dogs that he’s been promoting on SmackDown, and you can get some gloves in all these different colors as if you need more than one set of AJ Styles gloves. Look at the plastic it’s put in, that’s good for the environment. It’s not like there are huge islands of trash in the Pacific Ocean! All the people are going to storm the store and buy all this stupid merchandise. What’s even worse [about this AJ Styles vest] is that it’s made out of leather. They like to say leather as if it’s not a cow, as if it’s not from a living, sentient being that was ripped from its mother at birth and then stuffed so you could eat it and then wear it. You think that’s acceptable? That’s garbage. That’s making this world worse. That’s making the planet a worse place, and I’m the planet’s champion. I’m the champion for the cows!”

Daniel Bryan on his own merchandise: “They know my stance on merchandise but look at what they made. Do not buy my shirts because they are bad for the planet. They know all of you idiots [will buy them]. I don’t want your money. If I see you wearing this then I want to slap you in the face! That’s what I think and yet, here they are. That’s why I have to beat AJ Styles because he’s telling people to consume, consume, consume. I’m telling you to stop.”
