1) Backstage Reactions To The Daniel Bryan News
According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), Daniel Bryan didn’t make a big deal backstage about his WWE contract expiring.
It was noted that Ring of Honor is expected to make contact with him. Two people in AEW expect Bryan to remain in WWE and one said that they have heard Bryan is going to be staying with the company.
Here is what Sapp wrote:
WWE sources indicated that backstage, Bryan didn’t make a big deal about his contract expiring, and many only heard it through the grapevine over the past few weeks as opposed to from Bryan himself.
When inquiring with sources in Ring of Honor, they said they expect ROH to make contact and at least make an effort to bring him in for some appearance at the minimum, noting the company hasn’t been completely out of contact with him in recent years.
Two AEW talent we spoke with said they fully expect Bryan to remain with WWE, with one outright saying they’ve heard he’s staying with WWE. Of course we’ve not been able to confirm that, as it’s just speculation.
My Take:
- I think that Bryan will be staying in WWE. A part-time deal, which allows him to wrestle in NXT sounds like the perfect spot for him.
