Daniel Bryan has not appeared on WWE TV since the April 30 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, and it was confirmed days later that his WWE contract had officially expired. While those initial reports did state WWE was hard at work trying to get him to sign a new deal, there has been no confirmation that he would be returning to the promotion., However, on Wednesday night Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net released a new report stating he has signed a contract with All Elite Wrestling. Neither Bryan nor AEW have officially confirmed the report as of now.

“In an update as to the future of Bryan Danielson (fka Daniel Bryan), a source I have spoken to has told me that he is ‘locked in’ and has 100% already signed a contract with AEW,” Haynes wrote. “In addition, I was told that Danielson was wanting to work less dates for comparable money, he wanted the ability to be able to work in Japan, and wanted to have creative input on his character, which he got.”
