Daniel Bryan has been lucky enough to have a very successful career, but recently he’s been letting everyone know that his WWE contract is up soon.
The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion has also said that he’s trying to convince WWE to allow him to wrestle for other companies, and it sounds like he’s also pushing for the company to allow other wrestlers to do the same.
Bryan recently appeared on My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox, and he explained how letting WWE Superstars wrestle elsewhere could help them showcase their skills.
“I brought it up to a lot of people. I don’t think [a hair vs. hair match in Mexico] would happen. I also think that now, more than ever, it a time when people are open to new ideas. I think I have made some headway. Whether any of it actually happens, who knows. I don’t think people truly understand how great a lot of WWE superstars are because we don’t necessarily put on a pure wrestling product, we put on a sports entertainment product. If all of a sudden you saw Cesaro in New Japan, people would be like, ‘This guy is the greatest.’ If you put Otis in New Japan, people would be like, ‘Holy cow, this guy is amazing.’ Like, Vader from the 90s type vibe. It’s just a different presentation. I think it would be a cool and unique contribution in wrestling, as far as giving back. I also think it’d be good for WWE and wrestling in general for them to go and learn at other places. I wouldn’t be the performer that I am today if I hadn’t wrestled in Japan or the UK, where it was all comedy. All of those things add to your depth and when it’s time to put you in a top position, you can do a number of things.”
Stay tuned for more updates on Daniel Bryan’s future with WWE as they become available.
