The only time Benjamin and Bryan have been in a ring together in a singles match was at Northeast Wrestling in 2010 after  Bryan had been fired from WWE for choking Justin Roberts with his tie and Benjamin had been released after several years with the company. Benjamin returned to WWE while Daniel Bryan was still not medically cleared.
