Bryan Danielson is a self admitted bully.
Paul Wight and Mark Henry have been on the opposing side of Danielson’s bullying, as he admitted he’s bullied them since their WWE days. Wight has even noted that Danielson will try to sneak up on giants and choke them out. While Danielson and Wight are joking about the “bullying,” there is truth in Bryan messing around with his peers in the locker room at AEW. while speaking to Robbie Fox on My Mom’s Basement Bryan addressed the “bullying” allegations from Wight.
He initially tries to bully me, and I stand up for myself, I do bully other people. Sometimes giants. Only occasionally giants. I come in hot. When I come into the locker room, I come in hot. I’m not coming in there to be soft on these guys. I come in and everybody is on their phone, I’m going to yell at them. Sometimes, I’ll be on the training table and Paul will come up and grab me in some sort of way and I’ll immediately, as fast as I can, try to armbar him. That does happen. Not that he’s a giant, but I am constantly trying to takedown Jake Hager. He’s got a (amateur wrestling and MMA) background. It’s not like I’m trying to single leg Brandon Cutler all the time. I don’t know anything about his single leg defense, but it’s not like I see him, he’s walking down the hall, and I’m going to double leg this guy. That’s not my deal. I’m going for the big guys.

Danielson declined to comment when asked if he’s ever successfully taken Hager down.
