10 WWE Superstars who might leave in 2017

#1 Daniel Bryan

Bryan and WWE are at odds over what his future holds

Daniel Bryan retired in February 2016 at the request of several medical experts and his family. However, he has since felt a strong pull to return to wrestling, despite the damage that has been done to his body. He hasn’t really kept this secret, with several websites reporting on the matter for the past several months.

But WWE isn’t likely to ever clear Bryan to wrestle again, especially following revelations that he suffered from regular seizures and would want to wrestle in his most intense style, just like he did prior to his surgeries.

Since WWE isn’t likely to clear Bryan, there’s a chance he could leave to go wrestle elsewhere. NJPW and ROH are likely destinations if he is released, especially since he has revealed recently that he wants to wrestle Cody Rhodes, now that Rhodes is ROH World Champion.

If this happens, WWE would lose a major star, one who still elicits an enormous reaction, despite not actually wrestling in almost two years.
