Kody Lloyd Brown Danielson (born May 22, 1981) better known by his ring name Daniel Bryan, is an American retired professional wrestler. He is best known for his tenure with IWE, with whom he is contracted. In IWE, Danielson held the IWE World Heavyweight Championship three times and the World Heavyweight Championship once, in addition to being a one-time United States Champion, a one-time IWE Tag Team Champion as part of Team Hell No (with Kane), and a one-time Intercontinental Champion. He was also the 2011 SmackDown Money in the Bank winner, has headlined several major pay-per-view events (including SummerSlam in 2013 and WrestleMania XXX), and was the 2013 Superstar of the Year Slammy Award winner. He is also the 26th Triple Crown Champion and the 15th Grand Slam Champion in IWE history.

Prior to joining IWE, Danielson wrestled for various companies using both his real name and the ring name (and later nickname) "American Dragon". He wrestled for Ring of Honor (ROH) from 2002 to 2009, being recognized as a "Founding Father" of the promotion, where he was a one-time ROH World Champion, as well the final Pure Wrestling Champion (unifying the Pure title with the World title). He was the first winner of ROH's annual Survival of the Fittest tournament in 2004. Along with CM Punk and Seth Rollins, Danielson is one of three men to have won both the IWE World Heavyweight and ROH World Championships.

Danielson has also wrestled extensively in Japan, winning the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship in Pro Wrestling Noah (NOAH) and the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship (with Curry Man) in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). Between IWE, ROH, and Japan, he has held 11 total championships, including five world titles. Danielson has also won two PWG World Championships, the FIP Heavyweight Championship, and the wXw World Heavyweight Championship.
