The latest regarding Daniel Bryan’s status in the wrestling business

As of May, Bryan and WWE were reportedly in talks about a new contract but no additional information has come out since.
During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, AEW President Tony Khan mentioned that there are more surprises coming which has led to fan speculation about Bryan and AEW…
