This Is Daniel Bryan's "Last Run" As A WWE Superstar
"I haven't said anything about this, but in my mind this is kind of my last run," Bryan reveals.
Daniel Bryan has revealed that his current run with WWE will be his last as a full-time superstar.
The supremely popular Washingtonian was speaking on Talking Smack after the conclusion of last night's SmackDown, when he dropped the bombshell.
Bryan told host Kayla Braxton:
"I haven't said anything about this, but in my mind this is kind of my last run, you know what I mean? This is my last run as a full time Superstar. It's not really a scoop. I think you can feel it in even just the way that I approach things and the way that my mentality is as far as my views towards younger people and all that kind of stuff. When I do this as I'm doing this last run, my thing isn't like, 'I gotta prove to everybody that I'm the best.' When I'm out there, I'm proving things to myself, and I want things better for the younger talent."
Bryan, who returned to SmackDown this past month following a hiatus, made a full-time wrestling comeback in March 2018, having retired two years earlier as a consequence of multiple concussions. Both the retirement and subsequent return went down as two of WWE's most emotional moments of all time.
In August, Bryan and wife Brie Bella welcomed a second child into the world.
A second retirement for the 39-year-old is sure to be similarly tear-jerking (even if fans aren't in attendance), but at least this time, he'll be going out on his own terms.
