Former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) champion Daniel Bryan has said he will defeat Brock Lesnar, provided he gets a rematch with the reigning WWE champion.

Speaking on "The Bump", Bryan said now that Drew Gulak is helping him train, the result could go his way if he gets a chance to fight Lesnar again.

“With Drew [Gulak] helping me train, I have no doubt that I - no one can defeat Brock Lesnar- but I believe, I would love to have another one [match]. And with Drew as my coach, I think I can come out on top this time, maybe,” added Bryan.
