According to Dave Meltzer at the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, once Daniel Bryan‘s contract is up, he might seek to wrestling elsewhere. There has been speculation within the company that Bryan is currently being forced to be an on-screen character and didn’t really want the SmackDown LIVE general manager position, but because he’s still under contract, he’s required too.
There has also been rumors that Bryan is unhappy with how the company has handled his situation and could be positioning himself to leave.
Meltzer noted in his report that Bryan could potentially make a lot more money main eventing for NJPW than he would for his GM role with WWE. He would also be able to make more money on merchandise outside the company than the small percentage makes within.
Bryan had a number of different opinions from Doctors before he retired, he ultimately went with the decision of the WWE medical team but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t explore other advice once his contract is up.
Obviously, a lot of this is speculation and rumors, so please take it with a grain of salt.
