An anonymous tip from someone who claims to work for WWE Human Resources was submitted to Scott’s Blog of Doom stating that WWE is set to release Daniel Bryan from his contract next week. Here is the letter in its entirety from the Blog of Doom:
Scott,
Can’t believe I’m doing this – I’m writing from a throwaway account but please keep my details private anyway. Although feel free to paste the whole e-mail or delete it. Sorry just a bit frazzled.
Okay so I’ve been debating all weekend whether to send this e-mail or not. I’ll be honest – one major reason I’m doing this is because when it all comes out I want to silently smile and say “Yep, I called it”. Not out loud or anything but just privately to myself.
This is going to be hard to believe and you probably get a lot of nutjobs writing every day – but I work in WWE HR. I’m not high up the totem pole by any means though.
So on Friday one of my co-workers had to process a release – and that release was for Daniel Bryan.
Monday, January 18th is the date that is listed for when the deal is processed. Not sure exactly why – my coworker was very quiet about the whole thing other than letting a few people know.
And to be honest she didn’t let me know – I’m not in her inner circle. I just overheard her telling someone else and she was in shock.
Not sure why it’s a week away or anything like that as our usual releases are dated that very day. She seemed shocked by it all. Anyway that’s all I know. Going to click send before I chicken out now.
We have no word on whether or not this is true. Scott’s Blog of Doom was the first to break the story of John Cena taking time off from WWE to film a reality series for Fox & they were 100% on point with that.
Dave Meltzer responded to a fan on Twitter that “WWE denies” having plans to release Daniel Bryan.

Furthermore, Daniel Bryan recently posted a video on Instagram of him training for a possible return to the ring:
