5 People who will be negatively affected by John Cena helping Daniel Bryan negotiate his contract

There is a rumour going around right now that John Cena is giving Daniel Bryan contract advice and that it is creating a bit of rift between Bryan and WWE. In fact, some are even speculating that Daniel Bryan's current feud with Big Cass is due to Bryan holding out for more money.

Whether all this is true or not remains to be seen, but it is worth noting that Bryan's contract is scheduled to expire in September. Not only does this mean that WWE only has two months to sign one of their biggest stars to a new contract, it also could mean that Daniel Bryan is not very high on WWE's priority list either.

With that being said and the expiration date supposedly of Bryan's contract only two months away, here are five people that will be negatively affected if John Cena is stirring the pot between Bryan and WWE. What are your thoughts? What will happen as a result of all this? Let us know in the comments below!

#5 John Cena

If Cena does end up getting Bryan fired or costing The WWE a lot of money by helping the former WWE Champion get a max contract deal, the results are not going to be good. Not only would he face the possibility of problems in his relationship with Nikki, Brie and Bryan, but also maybe make WWE resentful of Cena's tricks in the process.

It's no secret that Cena holds more pull than ever in the company, but moves like this one could start to sour the relationship between the two. Of course, Cena is a box off attraction on the silver screen now and could easily leave WWE like The Rock did, which means that WWE has the most to lose from all this.

#4 The WWE

WWE, Vince McMahon, — How will WWE react if negotiations fall through with Daniel Bryan?

Let's be honest here.

WWE stands to lose the most from all of this and is going to have to be very careful when considering their next move. In fact, WWE could lose Daniel Bryan if he and the people that are helping him negotiate aren't happy with the result of the contract. Unfortunately for WWE, that could mean they lose their top talent to the indy scene.

Of course, that would probably be great news for longtime wrestling fans, especially since there would be a lot more creative freedom for Bryan in the Indies, but it also would leave WWE without one of their top draws. Not only that, it also could hurt future relationships between WWE and Bryan in process.

On the flip side, however, if Daniel Bryan ends up getting everything he wants and more out of the contract, it could put Cena in hot water with WWE for helping someone cost the company more money. It could even be enough to hurt his creative control with the company in the future.

In the end, that lost point probably isn't going to matter much since Cena spends the majority of his time working in Hollywood now, but it could definitely be the start of a souring relationship between Cena and WWE.

#3 The Miz

How does all this affect The Miz?

While the contract negotiations will probably have no long-term effect on The A lister's career, an exit by Daniel Bryan due to talks falling through would leave The Miz without a high profile opponent on the blue brand. In fact, it would effectively derail one of the most teased storylines by WWE in quite some time.

WWE even put The Miz back on Smackdown Live during The Superstar Shakeup to jump-start the feud between Bryan and The Miz, but now might be forced to pump the breaks until it can be determined that it will actually happen. Another thing that could negatively affect Miz is if Bryan uses his contract negotiations to gain creative control, which could hurt Miz.

With that being said, whether this feud takes off or not this summer will be highly dependent on the contract negotiations between WWE and Daniel Bryan. Unfortunately for The Miz, he could be left without an opponent for the summer months and The WWE Universe could end up losing out on one of the greatest feuds of all time.

#2 Smackdown Live

Smackdown Live, Fox, — What will the contract negotiations mean for WWE's new television deal?

Let's be honest for a second.

If contract negotiations between Bryan and WWE break down, it could have disastrous effects on the future of Smackdown Live. Not only is that evident by the fact that WWE just signed a deal with Fox to broadcast Smackdown Live in 2019, but also by the fact that WWE is going to need a fan favourite like Daniel Bryan in order to capitalize on the deal.

Think about it! While AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Shinsuke Nakamura and John Cena will all help drive ratings to blue brand on its new channel, it would be Daniel Bryan that would really put the product over the top. With that being said, if something falls through or WWE gets angry at Bryan over how negotiations went down, it would be a disaster for the blue brand.

In the end, WWE absolutely needs Daniel Bryan to help make this deal between them and Fox work and that depends on whether Bryan will still be apart of the company or not. Again, maybe Cena is just trying to help his brother in law get the max deal for his family, but if it's something more then that, the results could be absolutely disastrous for everyone involved.

#1 Daniel Bryan

No one stands to lose more than Daniel Bryan in all this!

Not only could Daniel Bryan and WWE fail to get a deal done, which would result in the two parties parting ways and Bryan entering The Indy scene, it could also result in a soured relationship between the two parties going forward. With that being said, that isn't the end when it comes to what Bryan could lose in all this.

Let's say the deal does fall through and Bryan goes to ROH, NJPW or even TNA continue his wrestling career. If Bryan does go to one of those companies and suffers another concussion injury, he would be screwed as a result. He could also end up spending the rest of his life in debt due to medical bills if he is injured again.

As if that wasn't bad enough, he would also be without a job and forced to pay the bills in another way. One would think that this would lead him to go back to WWE and hope for a commentary or on-screen role there, but why would WWE help him out now that he is once again a liability to the company and left WWE high and dry over money in the past?

In the end, some might see this all as speculation and a doomsday scenario, but it is still a very possible one. Its already being rumoured that some WWE officials aren't happy with Cena and Bryan teaming up in contract negotiations and if WWE isn't happy about the situation, there is probably going to be some kind of consequences for Bryan during negotiations.

Maybe WWE and Bryan can get a deal done and Bryan will be able to lord over Smackdown Live as their most popular superstar for years to come. Or maybe the deal falls through, Bryan goes back to the indy scene and WWE is left without one of their top talents all because Cena had to give Bryan contract advice.
