PHOENIX - A former WWE champion is credited with stopping a burglar in Phoenix.

The incident happened on Monday night in the Arcadia neighborhood of Phoenix.

According to Phoenix police, Bryan Danielson, better known as Daniel Bryan, was pulling into his carport with his wife when he saw the door that leads to his house start to open.

Two men ran out of the house and fled on foot. Danielson was able to catch one of the men, 22-year-old Cesar Sosa.

Sosa and Danielson got into a struggle but Danielson was able to detain him until officials arrived, police said.

The second suspect was not located.

Sosa was booked into Maricopa County Jail and charged with burglary.

Danielson. former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, will talk with the media this afternoon, look for an update on ABC15 news at 4 p.m.

I wonder if he put the dude in the Yes Lock...

Nah, probably used his real finisher.

Either way, I think it'd be pretty easy for a professional wrestler to detain a burglar for a long time.

Awesome   not that he got robbed, but that he was able to detain a suspect and keep their stuff. Yeah, don't rob him no more he'll choke you out!  

The perp better be glad it was Daniel Bryan who nabbed him. If it had been Triple H, he would have buried him in the back yard.

Earlier today, ABC 15 News reported a two burglars had broken into the home of Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella, and Bryan was able to detain one of the suspects until police arrived.

TMZ has picked up on the Daniel Bryan burglary story, and noted the incident actually took place on Thursday night of this week.

TMZ also added the Bryan had the burglar locked in a rear naked choke for 5 minutes until police arrived.

TMZ also noted that Brie was able to retrieve the items that the burglars were in the process of stealing, which included a bracelet that belonged to Bryan’s father, who recently passed away.

Bryan (to the cops): Hold on, i've got till FIVE

(anyone who gets that reference gets a cookie)

Nah, there's no ropes in his backyard.

Were all the police just stood around for like 5 mins all doing the YES! chant? xD

Daniel Bryan and Chris Masters to form a crime-fighting superteam.

Wait, didn't The Rock stop a robbery whilst he was shooting some film? He can be their boss. The angry black dude who yells at them when they mess up.

So, Ice Cube?

Yes.

Why is WWE Studios not working on this right now?

23 Jump Street; Daniel Bryan replaces Jonah Hill, Chris Masters replaces Channing Tatum and The Rock replaces Ice Cube.

Make it, WWE. Make it.

Now that's a Jump Street movie I would actually enjoy watching.

And no one remembers Daivari's nice action on the train/Subway

Also, as for the "I got till 5" rule, I'm not sure it applies in a Street Fight

I was talking about when the cops go to break it up
