Rumor Mill: WWE Releasing Daniel Bryan Next Week

There has been so much debate over the last year within WWE about the future of Daniel Bryan’s career. No one has made a solid decision on Bryan’s in-ring status that has made him sit and wait for all this time.

Naturally, that has wasted a potential year of his career. It’s forced Bryan to lash out at the company and take to social media to plead his case. However, it seems WWE has finally made a decision, but it’s not a good one.

To be clear, this is just a rumor as of this writing, but a report has come from Keith Bloom’s Blog of Doom that WWE is set to release Daniel Bryan next week. This site has broken news before, including John Cena’s two-month hiatus from WWE to film “American Grit”.

Below is the statement Bloom’s blog made about Bryan being released from his contract next week:

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.
