CM Punk indicated that he thinks AEW have signed Daniel Bryan in a new Sunday Night’s Main Event interview.
He said about his own rumored Rampage debut, “I think I might actually be doing a screening, this isn’t confirmed yet so I probably shouldn’t blast this out everywhere. But we’re talking about doing a screening of episode three of Heels at an AMC in Chicago and that’s one of the dates that has been proposed so I hope to see everyone there.”
Punk also discussed the “Best in the World” promo line that was made by Darby Allin…
“Best in the World, that could be anybody. That’s [Daniel] Bryan, right? That’s my assumption.”
The former WWE star Daniel Bryan is no longer under the company’s contract and he is slated to join All Elite Wrestling(AEW). It turns out WWE is still very hopeful of re-signing the former WWE Champion.
Daniel Bryan to return to WWE?
Bryan was previously ‘banished’ from WWE Friday Night SmackDown after losing his match against WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. He has reportedly signed a deal with AEW and according to PWInsider, via Cageside Seats, Bryan is not a member of WWE’s roster. The report further indicates that WWE is still hoping to re-sign Bryan, but AEW could spoil the deal as well. John Cena Uses Bad Language After Fans Boo Him
Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net reported last month that Bryan has already signed a contract with AEW. While there has been no official confirmation of the same from either Bryan or the promotion.
The possible plans for Bryan’s AEW debut are for him to appear on AEW Dynamite’s Grand Slam episode at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York on September 22.
“We were told that Danielson was wanting to work less dates for comparable money, he wanted the ability to be able to work in Japan, and wanted to have creative input on his character, all of which he got. Additionally, we were told tentative plans creatively for Bryan Danielson’s AEW debut. As of the time of this writing (8:45 pm Wednesday, 7/21/21), the plan is for Bryan Danielson to make his AEW debut on September 22nd, when AEW heads to Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City,” the report from Bodyslam.net read.
We will see if Bryan goes to AEW or makes a return to WWE.
