Daniel Bryan's contract expires on September 1st but the biggest WWE star of the modern era hasn't re-signed with WWE at the time of this writing. The WWE universe has been speculating, pro wrestling journalists as well are still unsure of his future.
There's a lot going on around Daniel Bryan because of Nicole's breakup with John Cena and Brie expecting another kid. The man is constantly busy ever since he returned back in the ring at WrestleMania and thereafter. He has been caught up in multiple assignments, as part of Total Bellas and WWE shows.
The wrestler is loved by the WWE Universe and wrestling fans worldwide. He is a founding member of the ROH and it would be nice to see him move there, but that is just speculation.
The WWE would not want their biggest wrestler to make a move out of the company, and in-turn give more business options to their rivals. They would do all in their power to retain this technical and submission expert.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Although Daniel's future still hangs in the balance, here are 3 wrestlers he could face if he moves out of the WWE.
#3 Christopher Daniels (Ring of Honor)
Christopher Daniels is a master inside the ring. The pro has been working inside the squared circle since 1993. He has worked in the independent circuit and also TNA, ROH. He did sign with WWE and worked as a jobber from 1998 to 2001 before moving over to WCW and other promotions worldwide.
It is safe to say that he is one of the best wrestlers outside WWE and it would be an absolute treat for wrestling fans to witness a match between these two experienced performers.
The feud between them can be booked as a battle of the best, in which Bryan's submission moves can be countered with Daniels athletic ability.
The match between them would be a 5-star match, and you better believe that.
#2 Johnny Mundo (Impact Wrestling)
John Morrison was a part of WWE as MNM and his work was lauded by the fans during those days. He moved out of WWE after his neck injury required some time to heal, and he wanted more time to think about his next move.
WWE had high hopes on him but he decided to move from the company in 2011 to the independent circuit.
He worked with some of the best names in the independent circuit before moving to Lucha Underground. His work was loved there, and then in 2017, he decided to move to Impact Wrestling where he is supposed to face Taiji Ishimori, Rich Swann, and Fenix in a four-way match at Slammiversary XVI on July 22 2018.
A match between him and Daniel Bryan would be a good decision for Impact Wrestling which has been on a downward spiral in the last few years.
#1 Kenny Omega (New Japan Pro-Wrestling)
Kenny Omega is definitely the biggest and best wrestler on the independent circuit, and you would definitely agree with me if you have seen a match between him and Chris Jericho. In case you missed it, here are some highlights that will refresh your memory:
This match between them tells us what we can expect when a submission expert like Bryan meets the high flyer Kenny Omega. It would definitely be a match that you can't miss.
