Daniel Bryan's WWE career is winding down, and he has made no secret of it. Revealing that he would prefer to transition into a part-time Superstar, the multi-time World Champion doesn't seem sure about how long he has left in the tank.

The three-year contract that he signed in 2018 expires this year, and there has been a lot of speculation about his future. While a jump to AEW seems uncertain, Dave Meltzer revealed on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Daniel Bryan is possibly considering WrestleMania 37 to be his last for WWE:

"Bryan said that this very well could be his last WrestleMania. Unless he’s letting his contract run out at the end of this year and leaving, I don’t see any way that’s possible. But he said if this is his last one, and he never actually said for sure it was, he’s giving it everything he’s got to be in the main event."

As you can see, the speculation is that he won't have his last WrestleMania, but that it's a large possibility. We hope this isn't true because Daniel Bryan can add value to WrestleMania - even as a part-time Superstar for WWE. He deserves a break from the schedule and has earned the right to transition into a part-timer for WWE.
