Roman Reigns Demands a Thank You From WWE Universe, Tells Daniel Bryan to ‘Hug a Tree’

– Following last night’s win over Daniel Bryan on SmackDown, WWE Universal champion Roman Reigns delivered a new message to the WWE Universe on Twitter earlier today. In the video, Reigns noted during his early Saturday morning workout that Daniel Bryan should be thanking him because he gave him the opportunity to look for “the new door,” and he can now spend his time having fun and being a dad or focusing on his efforts to help the environment.

As a result of the loss, Bryan now has to leave the SmackDown brand. Additionally, Roman Reigns noted that it’s time for the WWE Universe to thank him for his actions on next week’s show. You can view the video and a transcript of Reigns’ comments below:

“Already putting in the work. Just a few hours removed, Saturday morning. Last night, I achieved greatness once again. As I’m hitting this cardia, I’m sitting here thinking, the whole world should be thanking me. Daniel Bryan, you should be thanking me, bro, for two different reasons. I’m a man of my word. I did what I said I was gonna do. And not only did I give the audience what they need, I got rid of you, I’m driving us forward. I’m taking care of the future and getting ride of the old. I gave you what you wanted. You made it clear. You were looking for that new door. What better way to look for that new one when the old one hits you right in the ass, and that’s what I did. I closed this door on you, so we’re gonna live the show up and win mantra. We will keep putting the work in. And next Friday on SmackDown, not only do I expect you to acknowledge me — and no, I’m not talking to you, Daniel Bryan, we’re done with you. Go have fun, be a dad, hug a tree, whatever you want to do. So the WWE Universe, some of them call you that. To me, you’re mine. You’re my audience. You’re my people. Not only are you going to acknowledge me on Friday, you’re gonna thank me. I’ll see you in a few.”
