Previously, in an interview, Daniel Bryan stated that many are speculating that his contract will be expiring on September, then, he clarified that it’s on going to expire on September.
“It’s funny that people gravitate towards the date ‘September,’ and I think it’s because that’s when my last contract ended, but it doesn’t end in September. I’m still trying to figure out what that looks like… I had a tag team match on SmackDown last Friday, and it was a lot of fun, but my neck was just wrecked,” Bryan said
Following his loss to Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan immediately moved to WWE Alumni section in the company’s website but there’s no clear information about whether he’s leaving company or it’s a part of storyline.
Fightful had also been told of Daniel Bryan being vocal to do ‘unconventional work’ with the company, as he wanted to do wrestle for other promotions along with working for the WWE.
