Daniel Bryan Teases In-Ring Return + Brie Bella Says She’ll Return in 2018

Another Daniel Bryan Tease

Daniel Bryan continued to tease that he’ll be leaving WWE to wrestle elsewhere when his contract expires in September 2018. On SmackDown, Sami Zayn cut a promo on him in the ring, saying that he’s still an in-ring performer and Daniel Bryan was not anymore. The “WWE Creative Humor” Twitter account joked around about it and Bryan responded:

"I'm still an in-ring performer. @WWEDanielBryan, you're not anymore…until September" – Sami Zayn #SDLive

Brie Bella’s Return Plans

Brie Bella did a Q&A on her YouTube channel and said that she hopes to be ready for a return by January 2018 and she will be back in WWE at some point next year. She also said that she and Daniel Bryan will try for a second baby at the end of 2018, so her planned return will be relatively short.

“I’m going to start working with a personal trainer in the first week of November, kick my butt. But I want to make sure that I am ready by let’s say the end of January 2018 in case I get a phone call. But at some point in 2018 I am going to make a comeback whether the boss likes it or not. I am coming back, I am making a comeback, because at the end of 2018, Bryan and I want to start trying for our second baby, so I’m doing it before then.”
