During his appearance on Wednesday’s night’s edition of ESPN’s “Off The Top Rope” segment, Daniel Bryan admitted that he had often spoke with his wife Brie about wanting to wrestle again and get out of his current WWE contract. Bryan revealed that Brie would always “calm him down” as they want to start a family and it’s best for him to be home as much as possible at this point. As previously reported here on eWN, Bryan’s doctors have cleared him to return but WWE’s doctors say otherwise.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that Daniel Bryan’s current WWE contract expires in 2018. According to the site, Bryan’s contract was frozen while he was out with an injury. When Bryan returned to WWE TV (on SmackDown and the Cruiserweight Classic announce team), the contract went active again.
As far as the Forbes report from last week is concerned (the report claimed WWE had not closed the door on Bryan wrestling again), that is incorrect. WWE has no plans of having Daniel Bryan get back in to the ring at this time. As noted, WWE’s doctors will not clear him to return.
