During his appearance on ESPN on Wednesday night, Daniel Bryan admitted that he had often spoke with his wife Brie about wanting to wrestle again and quit WWE. He also noted that she would always calm him down as they are still planning to start a family.
According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Bryan’s WWE contract expires in 2018. His contract was frozen while he was out with injury, but since his return to WWE TV (on Smackdown and the Cruiserweight Classic) the contract went active again.
The report also notes that the Forbes report from last week, claiming that WWE has not closed the door on Bryan wrestling, was incorrect. WWE has no plans at this time to bring Daniel Bryan back to the ring. This is partly due the multi-million dollar concussion lawsuit the WWE is currently involved in.
