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

John Cena, Daniel Bryan,
Is John Cena helping Daniel Bryan backstage?

#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.
