The unbelievable true story of “The New” Daniel Bryan’s beef with a ballpark burger
WWE Champion “The New” Daniel Bryan hates all burgers … but he really hates the Royal Rumble burger.
Chase Field (host venue to this year’s Royal Rumble event) has released a special edition Royal Rumble burger, available exclusively at the ballpark this Sunday. The monstrous burger which sports an 18 oz. pork bratwurst patty on a toasted onion roll with with cheddar cheese, smoked bacon, crispy coleslaw, fried onions, BBQ aioli and topped off with fried mac and cheese wedges, immediately caught the attention of the WWE Champion, who railed against it on Twitter.
Meet the Royal Rumble Burger.

We put an 18 oz. pork bratwurst patty on a toasted onion roll.
Then we added cheddar cheese, smoked bacon, crispy coleslaw, fried onions and BBQ aioli.
And then we topped it with fried mac and cheese wedges.

Chase Field should be ashamed of themselves. Made from factory farmed pigs, an intelligent and extremely social mammal, and cheese from cows, who’s baby’s were ripped away from them. THEN add the heart disease delivered to the people who eat it. #SHAME #TheWorstGeneration https://t.co/6zlJ5zpyRN

The official Chase Field Twitter account snapped back, telling Bryan they were simply giving the people what they want.
We just give the people what they want. And they clearly want the #RoyalRumble Burger. 😋

Bryan then rerouted his approach, daring Chase Field to give 100 percent of the profits made from the Royal Rumble burger to the Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
An excuse every tyrant in history has made. The reality is you just want to line your pockets. Prove me wrong by giving 100% of the profits from the Royal Rumble Burger to @PhxChildrens or similar charity. THAT is what people want #ChallengeCorporateElite https://t.co/DKezgUitpV

Chase Field then came back swinging (no pun), with Cody Decker of the Arizona Diamondbacks (who play their home games at Chase) eating the full Royal Rumble burger in one sitting on the Chase Field Twitter account. Then, @ChaseField confirmed they would indeed make donations to the Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
We've got @Decker6 as our @WWE Special Correspondent this weekend. First up, he becomes the person to tackle the #RoyalRumble Burger and gives it his expert review.

(P.S. We will also be making a donation to our good friends @PhxChildrens Hospital.) pic.twitter.com/pN2QdBoebr
This results? WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon gave Decker a shout-out for his impressive consumption of the burger, and Bryan and Decker went face-to-face!
