SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan, who was forced to retire last year due to his history with concussions, has talked about wrestling again in the past. Whether that be in WWE or in another promotion. It’s well known that WWE will not clear him to compete.
Bryan continued to fan the flames of speculation about his in-ring return during his and Brie Bella’s latest Q&A session on Instagram (h/t Reddit). By looking at the video below, Bryan’s hair is beginning to reach the length it was during the latter part of his WWE career. Bryan said he hopes it would lead to Lucha Libre matches in Mexico.
The former WWE Champion noted that his hair looked weird and Bella pressed him to reveal why he’s growing it out.
“We don’t need to talk about why I’m growing my hair out,” Bryan said. “It may or may not be because I want to do apuestas matches in Arena Mexico. It may or may not be that.”
“That’s what he wants, and that’s what he keeps telling me,” Bella chimed in.
“Imagine a hair vs. mask match vs. Atlantis or a hair vs. hair vs. Rush,” Bryan said.
Atlantis, who is a 54-year-old luchador, made his wrestling debut in 1983 and is undefeated in luchas de apuestas throughout his career. Rush has been wrestling since 2007. He’s also undefeated in luchas de apuestas.
