The former WWE Champion is also locked in for at least 120 dates per year. Those dates are expected to rise to 150 or so over the course of the year depending on his position in the company. For merchandise revenue, Daniel Bryan is earning 15 percent of his sales.

Since Bryan is one of WWE’s top merchandise movers, that’s a good number. However, he’s also expected to win the WWE Championship on SmackDown again at some point over the next year. As a result, his sales numbers will improve and that should mean more money for him and his family. Overall, WWE officials have taken care of Bryan.

The long-term deal also demonstrates that WWE officials are satisfied with his health and body since his in-ring return. The WWE Universe has been unhappy with some of his booking. WWE fans can expect bigger things from him after the feud with The Miz ends. The rumor is he’s next in line to challenge AJ Styles for the WWE Championship.
