There has been a lot of speculation on Daniel Bryan’s future in WWE. Bryan has been out of action since last April after he suffered a concussion.
As noted, Bryan was told by WWE that he would not be cleared, and he’s been offered other jobs within the company. Bryan later spoke with Vince McMahon and argued his case, but Vince wouldn’t budge. Vince told him that he probably would not clear him, but he didn’t say that’s 100%.
Bryan has been vocal about wrestling in other promotions if he cannot wrestle in WWE. Bryan reportedly gave his notice to WWE but was denied.
Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer posted on the Wrestling Classics forum, saying that “He did give notice and was told he did not have the right to give notice.”
Bryan still has several years left on his WWE contract and his contract has been frozen. The reason that his contract has been frozen is because it helps WWE make up lost time when a talent is sidelined. WWE did the same thing with Rey Mysterio before they released him.
The contract can be permanently frozen unless Bryan takes the WWE to court. However, the chances of him doing that are low because his wife, Brie Bella, still works for the company.
As noted, Bryan is scheduled to appear on Monday’s episode of RAW.
