Daniel Bryan’s contract expires on September 1st. WWE has him scheduled for several shows after that date, including SmackDown 1000 and the Super Show-Down in October.
Bryan appeared on the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast this week and said that while he hasn’t signed with WWE as of yet, there’s a very good chance that he will, perhaps as early as this week.
“I think at this point it’s 90 plus percent… I will say it’s likely I will sign with WWE,” Bryan said (h/t to WrestlingNews.co). “The reality is that’s the probability. I have not re-signed yet but it could happen as soon as the end of this week or it could be a couple more weeks. It’s very likely.”
Bryan told Roberts that he’d like to work around 50-100 matches per year, although he realizes that it might be more than that. He said that WWE is working with him on his schedule, and that he has no interest in wrestling 200 times a year again.
“I don’t wanna do a full schedule and I think WWE has been very gracious in working with me to not do a complete schedule,” Bryan said.
