Rumor Roundup: Update On Daniel Bryan’s Status, Possible Smackdown Tag Team Match, More

Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.

5) Update On Daniel Bryan’s Current Status

WWE has officially moved Daniel Bryan to the alumni section on their website. This comes after Bryan’s loss to Roman Reigns on Smackdown, where he has now been banished from the blue brand.

Here is a screenshot:

My Take:

  • It looks like from a storyline standpoint, Daniel Bryan is officially done with Smackdown and is now a free agent. We will have to wait and see where this goes. I would love to see him have a run in NXT though.

4) Daniel Bryan Addresses Rumors About His WWE Contract

Daniel Bryan was recently interviewed by TV Line. During this, he addressed the rumor that his contract with WWE expires in September.

Here is what Bryan said:

“It’s funny that people gravitate towards the date ‘September,’ and I think it’s because that’s when my last contract ended, but it doesn’t end in September. [Note: Bryan was tight-lipped about when his contract actually runs out.] I’m still trying to figure out what that looks like… I had a tag team match on SmackDown last Friday, and it was a lot of fun, but my neck was just wrecked. I’m going to be 40 in May and my daughter likes to get on my shoulders to pick leaves from a Japanese maple in front of our house [and he couldn’t this time due to the pain]. You get to that point where it’s like, how long can I do this full-time and still be able to do those kinds of things with my daughter? What’s the right balance between part-time and that sort of thing? It may be that it’s just every once in a while when the urge strikes, or maybe like a schedule where it’s like eight months on, these months off.

My Take:

  • I still think that he is going to re-sign with WWE but remain as a part-time guy. A run in NXT would be amazing.
