Why Daniel Bryan Left WWE?

Daniel Bryan has left WWE due to creative differences. Here’s why.

Introduction

Daniel Bryan was one of WWE’s top superstars for many years. He was a fan favorite and held multiple championships. However, in recent years, his career has been plagued by injuries. In 2014, he was forced to retire from in-ring competition due to concussion-related issues. He made a brief return to WWE in 2016 but had to retire once again due to injury. On March 8th, 2018, Daniel Bryan announced his departure from WWE.

Many fans were shocked by Bryan’s decision to leave WWE. However, it is understandable given the circumstances. Bryan has been open about his struggles with concussions and the risks associated with continuing to wrestle. It is commendable that he is putting his health first and prioritizing his family over his career.

We wish Daniel Bryan all the best in his future endeavors. He will be missed by the WWE Universe but we hope to see him back on TV soon, albeit in a non-wrestling role.

Reasons for Leaving

Daniel Bryan left WWE due to the way that WWE was handling his concussion issues. He was not cleared to wrestle by WWE’s doctors, but he was cleared by other doctors. WWE was not going to let him wrestle, so he decided to leave. Bryan also was not happy with the creative direction of WWE and felt that he was not being used to his full potential.

Creative Differences

Daniel Bryan is a former WWE Champion and one of the most popular professional wrestlers in the world. However, in early 2016, he left WWE due to what he felt were creative differences.

Bryan had been with WWE for about eight years at the time of his departure. He had risen to main event status and was one of the company’s top stars. However, he was never given the opportunity to be a top star in WWE’s main event scene. He was always pushed to the midcard or lowercard, and he felt that his talent was being wasted.

Bryan believed that he could be a much bigger star if he were given more opportunities. When he asked for more opportunities, he was denied them. This led to him feeling frustrated with WWE’s creative direction. He decided to leave the company so that he could pursue other opportunities.

Bryan has since gone on to have a successful career outside of WWE. He has wrestled for New Japan Pro Wrestling andRing of Honor, and he is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling.

Health Concerns

In 2016, Bryan was forced to retire from in-ring competition due to medical concerns, with doctors warning that further head trauma could result in long-term neurological damage. Despite this, Bryan continued to make occasional appearances on WWE programming until February 8, 2018, when he relinquished the WWE Championship due to another neck injury. The following month it was revealed that Bryan had signed a new multi-year contract with WWE

Aftermath

Daniel Bryan shocked the WWE Universe when he announced his retirement from professional wrestling on the March 8, 2016, edition of Monday Night Raw. It was a decision that was met with a tremendous amount of support from the WWE Universe as Bryan had become one of the most popular Superstars in WWE. Bryan’s decision to retire came after he was diagnosed with a concussion-related injury.

WWE’s Reaction

WWE issued the following statement to TMZ:

“We are grateful and appreciative of all that Daniel Bryan has done for our company and NXT over the past two years. Natalya, his wife, is an incredibly talented performer who was also a positive influence on our brand. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors.”

Bryan’s Reaction

It took a long time for the WWE Universe to see Daniel Bryan as a top star. He was always one of the most popular wrestlers in WWE, but it took until 2013 for him to truly break through and become one of WWE’s top guys.

That year, Bryan won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 30, defeating Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista in the main event. He then went on to have an incredible feud with The Authority, which helped make him into one of WWE’s biggest stars.

However, just a few months after reaching the pinnacle of his career, Bryan was forced to retire from wrestling due to injuries. This was a devastating blow to Bryan and his fans, who had to watch him give up the thing he loved so much.

Bryan has since returned to WWE as a commentator and occasional in-ring performer, but he has been very vocal about the fact that he wants to wrestle again full-time. Unfortunately, WWE has not cleared him to return to in-ring action due to his history of concussions.

This has led to a lot of friction between Bryan and WWE, and it seems like Bryan is getting closer and closer to leaving WWE for good. Only time will tell what will happen with Daniel Bryan and WWE, but it doesn’t seem like things are going well between them right now.

Conclusion

It is evident that Daniel Bryan’s decision to leave WWE was a difficult one. He has accomplished so much in his career, and has been a role model for so many fans. However, it is clear that he felt that he could no longer physically perform at the level that he desired, and did not want to continue with WWE if he could not give the fans his all. While it is sad to see him go, we respect his decision and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
