On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez reported that currently WWE started working on a project, which he believes he could be a video game. And WWE removed several superstars from the project including Daniel Bryan, as he no longer with the company.
“I’m not sure if it’s the video game or what it is but one of these projects that involves obviously the wrestlers in WWE, they were alerted today that this person, this person, this person, this person, this person no longer with WWE and one of the people they mentioned was Daniel Bryan,” said Alvarez. “Realistically, he’s not with the company, that’s true, but that is an indication that at this point, [they will] take him out of whatever project this is because he’s not with this company,” said Alvarez about the Daniel Bryan situation.

Recently, there were reports that WWE and New Japan Pro Wrestling are in discussion about working partnership. This report also states that one of the major reasons for that rumors was for WWE to allow Daniel Bryan to wrestle in NJPW.
From the past few weeks, Daniel Bryan name has been mentioned on Smackdown during the feud between Edge and Roman Reigns. But from the recent reports, it’s not a indication of Daniel Bryan’s return but he was a part of storyline to showcase Edge in better light.
