Bryan on His WWE Contract Status and Rumors of Appearing at All In

Al Arabiya English interviewed Daniel Bryan and one of the topics discussed was his current contract status in WWE and the rumors of him appearing at the All In event.

Bryan said that his current contract does not expire until after September 1st and he would not be able to appear at Cody and The Young Bucks’ All In event, which occurs on the same day.

“But no, my contract actually runs out September 1st, which is actually the day of the All In show, but it’s funny because that doesn’t compute. I was in the Bahrain Comic Con the last two days, and we did Q&As, and at each one, somebody asked me about that. They said, ‘are you going to be at All In’? I’m not. I don’t know what to tell you. But yeah, my contract is up September 1st.”
