#2 The latest on Daniel Bryan's WWE status

Daniel Bryan's WWE contract expired a week ago following his loss to Roman Reigns on SmackDown. The former WWE champion has been "banished" from the blue brand, but what's next for him?

WrestlingNews.co reports that WWE officials are very hopeful about Daniel Bryan's return to the company. One particular WWE official was "very confident" about the prospects of seeing Bryan back on TV.

The report stated that there are no grudges on either end of the table, and Vince McMahon reportedly feels that Bryan needs some time to recharge his batteries.

Money isn't the problem in Bryan's situation as the WWE has kept him financially satisfied since he ended his retirement in 2018.

Vince McMahon likes Daniel Bryan a lot, and the boss also has a backstage role in place for the former WWE Champion. Bryan can permanently retire and take up a new behind-the-scenes gig in the WWE, but what does the 39-year-old wrestler want to do with his career?

It's a known fact that Bryan still wishes to be an active competitor, and WWE is willing to have him back for a massive SummerSlam match. While WWE management is counting on him to re-sign, the decision ultimately lies in Daniel Bryan's hands.
