John Cena is a world-famous personality. He is a pro wrestling legend and has a massive fanbase. Cena, with his exceptional in-ring skills, is an inspiration for many. In fact, he has paved the way towards success for many Superstars. It seems the Leader of the Cenation also helped Bryan Danielson turn into a megastar.
Previously, in 2013, John Cena and Randy Orton came face-to-face on RAW as part of a Championship Ascension Ceremony. During that time, the ring was filled with several WWE legends. This includes Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Shawn Michaels, CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, and more. It is to be noted that Danielson was never supposed to be a part of the segment.
However, John Cena improvised the segment and involved Bryan. He did this because the audience was constantly cheering for him. While it’s been several years since that incident, recently a clip from the segment resurfaced and has been going viral.
With that, fans took to their ‘X’ handles to comment on the segment. It seems they are crediting Cena for turning Bryan into a megastar, though at the expense of Randy Orton. One fan commented, “John cena pushed Daniel more and still managed to cook Randy’s a*s”

The segment was an amazing one, and it still makes the fans go crazy. It is indeed true that John had a huge hand in the upliftment of Danielson. However, the latter went on to present a career in WWE to his fans that will be remembered for years to come.
Know more about the WWE career of Bryan Danielson
Bryan Lloyd Danielson previously became a part of WWE in 2000. However, he joined ROH two years later. After his run in ROH, he returned to the Stamford-based promotion in 2009. He then went on to become popular among the fans. Also, he received a huge push after his segment with Cena and Orton in 2013.
While performing in WWE, Danielson was famous among the fans by the ring name Daniel Bryan. He was seen in several segments and won many championships with his top-notch matches. However, he also suffered several injuries during his run which led to Bryan taking an early retirement in 2016.
After his retirement, the fan-favorite Superstar was seen in the role of the on-screen general manager of the SmackDown brand. He thoroughly entertained the fans with his new role until 2018. Moving ahead, Daniel’s contract with WWE expired, and he chose not to renew it. Instead, the superstar walked into its rival promotion, AEW.
Focusing on the AEW move of Danielson
Bryan Danielson was a huge part of the WWE. That is why fans were shocked when he made his move from the Triple H-led promotion to AEW. He made his debut in the Tony Khan-led promotion in September 2021. Following that, he went on to once again impress the fans with his outstanding in-ring talent.
Bryan performs under his real name and has bagged several championships. He is currently a member of the Blackpool Combat Club. As a part of the stable, he went on to appear in several PPV events and bag huge wins. Recently, at AEW All Out 2023, Danielson was seen in a No Disqualification Strap Match against Ricky Starks, where he emerged victorious.
Thus, it can be understood that Bryan previously ruled WWE, and now that he is a part of AEW, he has been showcasing his dominance in his latest promotion. With that, his fans will now wait with high anticipation to see what lies ahead for their favorite Superstar in the upcoming days.
