Bryan had previously expressed his desire to become a part-time wrestler and also wanted to wish to work in NJPW. It turns out AEW is the right place for him. Haynes went on to discuss the details of Bryan’s contract in WWE. He said:
“I know that he asked to have less dates, comparable money,” Haynes said. “He wanted to work in Japan, and he wanted to be able to have creative input on his character and storylines and stuff and he got all that. It’s not really control because everything goes through Tony [Khan], but it’s input. He wanted creative input.”
Haynes provided more details to Bryan’s contract and his motivations to sign with AEW. He also discussed potential opponents in the future. CM Punk ‘Imminent’ WWE Return Offer Leaks?
He said:
“The only thing I heard was he wanted to go to Japan,” Haynes said. “So that makes me think New Japan stuff, and of course, the dream match guy in any of us are going, ‘what does that mean for the G1?’ You start thinking about all those match-ups, but with him saying that Japan was a factor in him signing, that’s as far as I know as far as potential Japanese match-ups. That would be something else. There’s plans for potential opponents. Japan was a factor in where he wanted to go.”
