Triple H Says He Was Afraid Daniel Bryan Was Going to Leave WWE

Triple H was recently interviewed by ESPN, in order to promote WrestleMania 34 this weekend. He discussed the news that Daniel Bryan has been recently cleared to return to in-ring competition in a WWE ring.

Below are some highlights from the interview:

On Triple H’s match with Bryan at WrestleMania 30:

“I put so much more pressure on myself to [lose] to somebody than I ever did to win a title because … I just want it to be [such a big moment] for this guy,” said Levesque. “Watching that story evolve over that long period of time — from a behind-the-scenes standpoint — being behind it with him and being like, ‘Man, I know this is not the plan right this moment, but this is where we need to go.’ Just seeing that feeling and getting to that moment, having that match with him and having that moment, and knowing what’s coming later and being out there in that moment for him … when you have the circumstances that all work out to make this fairy-tale moment — it’s just awesome.”

On Bryan leaving WWE:

“Part of me was so afraid in the period of time when it [was] all going down that he was going to walk and say ‘forget it’ and go wrestle for someone else that doesn’t care, that doesn’t take their health into consideration — because that’s pretty much everywhere else,” said Levesque. “And risk his life and his health and his family and his baby and risk all of it — and it’s not worth that. We take enough risk every day in what we do. Every day.

On Bryan’s return to the ring at WrestleMania 34:

“The true [stories] are always the best in some way,” Levesque reflected. “Nothing is stranger than the truth. You can’t write that. Nobody could. The story that he has, and what he’s gone through, is unbelievable. My sincerest hope is that right now he’s happy and it’s all perfect — and we want to make sure that as we turn those pages, it stays that way.”
