Daniel Bryan Moving To Part-Time WWE Schedule?
"Wrestling is my side job, daddy-ing is my most important job.”
We’ve previously heard how Daniel Bryan envisions his in-ring career only lasting a few more years, and now the American Dragon has indicated his plans to soon move to a part-time WWE schedule.
In an interview with BT Sport, Bryan confirmed that his full-time wrestling days will be over sooner rather than later.
Having discussed how still simply talking about wrestling fills him with joy, and that he’ll continue to wrestle in some form or fashion for as long as he physically can, D-Bry reiterated that having two children at home means he has another priority in his life.
As Bryan put it:
“Now, I’m just kind of switching priorities in my life, where for years wrestling has been kind of the key focus and all that kind of stuff. My contract is coming up soon… but we’re looking [at] transitioning me to maybe less than a full-time wrestler. My time of being a full-time wrestler are numbered, and I’m more going to be a full-time dad, part-time wrestler. Wrestling is my side job, daddy-ing is my most important job.”
We’ve already heard how Bryan has become a loose part of the SmackDown creative team in recent months, and maybe that’s something that the multiple-time World Champion will get more involved in going forward. Either way, it appears that the days of seeing Daniel Bryan wrestle on a weekly basis will be getting less and less in the not-too-distant future.
Having wrestled in a six-man pre-show match before last Sunday’s TLC PPV, next up for WWE’s resident Yes! Man is a match with Jey Uso on Friday’s festive edition of SmackDown.
