As noted, Daniel Bryan’s contract with WWE expired earlier this year. He was banished from SmackDown after losing to WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns on the blue branded show.
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that despite Bryan being mentioned multiple times on WWE Television lately, this is said to not be an indicator that he’s returning.
The reason for the mentions is that he was part of the build for Reigns vs. Edge, and he is being blamed as the reason Edge didn’t win the belt.
At this time “nobody really knows” what Bryan will do.
