Bengaluru, July 11: Some WWE fans were unhappy with Daniel Bryan’s position in the WWE after his return from retirement earlier this year. He is undoubtedly the biggest name on the Smackdown Live brand. So a main-event spotlight seemed evident for him after Wrestlemania 34. But he was inserted into a blur feud against Big Cass.
There is a big reason for this, as reported earlier. Daniel Bryan has not signed a new deal with the WWE to date and his current contract expires in September 2019. There are several doubts whether he will re-sign with the company or not. Until that gets sorted, the officials will not make him the WWE Champion, any time soon.
So from that perspective, Summerslam in August can turn out to be his very last WWE PPV event. Daniel Bryan is a renowned name in the global pro-wrestling circuit. So he can choose any company he wants once he leaves the WWE. So The Wrestling Standard (formerly known as PW Stream) have labelled his ongoing run in the WWE as the 'farewell tour’.
The WWE Creative Team intends to make the most out of the marquee superstar’s presence on Smackdown Live. This is why we have already seen some of the dream matches which feature him. He took on the names like AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Jeff Hardy, Shelton Benjamin and more in the recent weeks. All these matches were also contested without any storyline angle.
