Daniel Bryan Discusses His Mental Breakdown During Total Bellas Season One

– Daniel Bryan appeared on Chris Jericho’s Talk is Jericho podcast and talked about his mental breakdown during Total Bellas season one and more. You can check out some highlights below per WZ:

On his mental breakdown during Total Bellas season one: “We were filming the first season of Total Bellas, Brie and I are living in John’s house, there are all these cameras around us. We were there and it was super high stress and also when you’re going through something like that I would want to be around my friends and family and not to say that I don’t love Brie’s family because I do; but, those are not the people I am closest to. I need to be around my family and I literally just had this mental breakdown where I just lost it and I ended up just leaving in the middle of the show…I missed their wedding because of my mental breakdown. They were going to do, Cathy, Brie’s Mom’s baccalaureate party that day and so I went back to Phoenix; but, I went back to Washington – there I kinda like mentally emotionally healed for a little bit and then I felt a lot better.”

On his differences with John Cena during the filming: “Things like you have to make your bed every morning. I forget what the rules are now. It was just like no shoes in the house and you have to understand how opposite this is from the way Brie and I live. I would go out and garden barefoot, come in with dirty feet and then like, ‘Ok that’s fine, we’ll clean it up when we get to it.’ If I have woodchips on my feet and come in and the dogs are running around and stuff – and keep in mind, Nicole and John had just gotten their French bulldog Winston and he was like a poop machine going all over the place. We had our French bulldog and Josie bit John while both Brie and I were away. It was chaos. The whole thing was chaos….every week we had to do this dinner where we had to dress up and it was just like, it’s just not my thing. I don’t want to put on a suit ever. Why would I sit down with my family with a suit on? That doesn’t make any sense…some of these things he made to make more entertaining for the show; but, they were legitimate rules. You know how John is: he’s kinda like stern.”
