Former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan has been away from WWE television for nearly three months now. His last appearance was on Friday Night SmackDown in April where he lost to Universal Champion Roman Reigns and was banished from the Blue brand. Bryan's WWE contract has since expired and fans have been wondering what does the future hold for The Leader of the Yes Movement.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Daniel Bryan is not listed on WWE's internal roster and there have been no discussions of him returning. While there are speculations of him joining All Elite Wrestling, there is no confirmation on the same.
The report adds that Bryan was not part of a recent list of talent plans for licensing and merchandising for 2021-2022. He is also not slated for any future Mattel action figure wave releases.
Last week, Bryan Alvarez also reported that Daniel Bryan has been removed from other company projects, possibly a video game, alongside other wrestlers who are no longer with WWE.
"I’m not sure if it’s the video game or what it is but one of these projects that involves obviously the wrestlers in WWE, they were alerted today that this person, this person, this person, this person, this person no longer with WWE and one of the people they mentioned was Daniel Bryan," said Alvarez. "Realistically, he’s not with the company, that’s true, but that is an indication that at this point, [they will] take him out of whatever project this is because he’s not with this company," said Bryan Alvarez about the Daniel Bryan situation.
