The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) US championship has been won by vegan Daniel Bryan (real name Bryan Danielson), who defeated “The Miz” (Mike Mizanin) on September 19 to become the new champion. After being temporarily removed from the WWE several months ago, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) wrote a letter to Vince McMahon, CEO of the WWE, asking for Bryan to be reinstated. WWE made the decision to bring back Bryan to resume his feud with The Miz in August 2010 for the WWE’s SummerSlam before he triumphed on the Night of Champions.
