During a recent interview with BT Sport, Daniel Bryan revealed that his full-time wrestling days are numbered and is looking at transitioning to a part-time role sooner rather than later. He said,
“So I’m confident in my body and my longevity. But it’s also like, now my life, I’ve got a little bit different priorities? As far as like, I still love wrestling, and I feel like I’ll always be wrestling as long as I can physically do it. But do I want to continue wrestling full-time when [I’ve] got two babies at home. So I just say how much I love wrestling, and it’s this weird part of me that, even talking about it now — and I’ve been wrestling for over 20 years now — it fills me with this joy and it almost gives me like an energy … but now I have things in my life that I love more than wrestling. That give me that a different feeling.
So now I’m just kind of switching priorities in my life, where for years wrestling has been kind of the key focus and all that kind of stuff. My contract is coming up soon, and not to say that — but we’re looking transitioning me to maybe less than a full-time wrestler. My time of being a full-time wrestler are numbered, and I’m more going to be a full-time dad, part-time wrestler. [laughs] Wrestling is my side job, daddy-ing is my most important job.”
