Several underused WWE stars are getting pushed because of Daniel Bryan - Wrestling News

This week on WWE Friday Night SmackDown, we saw Gran Metalik have a great match with AJ Styles for the Intercontinental Championship.

This marks the second straight week that Metalik has been featured on TV and he’s being portrayed as being more than just an undercard wrestler.

Vince McMahon has never seen much in Gran Metalik or any of the members of Lucha House Party but we will be seeing more of them on TV because of Daniel Bryan.

Bryan is said to be the person who pushed for the Gran Metalik vs.

Drew Gulak number 1 contenders match that led to this week’s Metalik vs.

AJ Styles match for the Intercontinental Championship.

Here is what a WWE source told us back in February about Daniel Bryan: “Bryan pitches a lot of his own ideas,” a WWE source said.
