Bryan's contract expired days later and he chose not to re-sign with the promotion. Naturally, reports emerged linking him with a move to AEW. During this time, a report from Fightful Select stated that some AEW talent believed that Bryan would stay at Vince McMahon's promotion.

"Two AEW talent we spoke with said they fully expect Bryan to remain with WWE, with one outright saying they’ve heard he’s staying with WWE. Of course we’ve not been able to confirm that, as it’s just speculation."

The report emerged just days after Bryan's contract expired and speculation was at its most rife. Bryan ultimately ended up signing with AEW and has put on stellar bouts against the likes of Kenny Omega, Miro and Hangman Page. The American Dragon is set to challenge Page in a rematch for the AEW world title next week.
