Last week during a six woman tag team match, Brie Bella hit Liv Morgan with a series of Yes kicks, and unfortunately she ended up making contact with Liv’s face.
Morgan was later diagnosed with a concussion, and since then the kicks have been a very hot topic on social media.
Shortly after the match, Brie Bella posted a tweet saying that no one ever steps into the ring with the intent to injure their opponent, and now Daniel Bryan is weighing in on the subject.
The former WWE Champion posted a series of tweets talking about the cyberbullying Brie has been dealing with, and he also pointed out that accidents happen as he shared a few examples of times when he accidentally hurt someone during a match.

In 2009 in our last match against each other, I concussed Nigel McGuinness after doing a dive into him in the crowd, where his head hit the floor. And there are others…

As for the Yes kicks, two weeks ago I accidentally kicked Andrade directly in the head due to a miscommunication on my part. I feel fortunate that he was ok, because there are few feelings worse than hurting someone…

Despite all of that, never did I receive the backlash Bri did this week. With all the negative things said about my wife, nobody was harder on her than she was on herself…
