#1. Other pursuits
Daniel Bryan has a job for life in WWE if he wants to. Having a great wrestling mind, he can be a backstage agent or even a trainer - a role that he will undoubtedly thrive in. However, he has various other passions and pursuits outside of wrestling that he would like to try out and in all likeliness, it could simply be that he wants the time to pursue these things.
It would be a much safer role from a physical standpoint and he can stay at home or in a stable place with his family without having to constantly be on the road. When you're on the road with WWE, it's a grueling schedule in its own right and it's easy to burn out. It's passion and love for the business that keeps people like Bryan going but ultimately, that can only go so far.
Hopefully, he takes up a nice trainers role when he's done and begins coaching in the Performance Center. He's a wizard in the ring and would be perfect to help pass on his knowledge to the next generation. Even a role as an analyst or commentator would be perfectly suited to him.
