Reported Backstage Details About WWE's Reaction Towards Bryan Danielson Joining AEW

The former WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan's WWE contract expired after his Universal Championship match against the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns on April 30th episode of Friday Night SmackDown.

Following that, Bryan surprised everyone by joining All Elite Wrestling promotion in September. While several wrestlers have left WWE unhappy in recent years, that isn't the case with Bryan Danielson, who has gone on record several times since signing with AEW to state how much he enjoyed his time at WWE.

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, WWE sources spoke very highly of the way he handled his final match with Roman Reigns on SmackDown and everyone didn't thought that he would leave the company.

"Bryan handled things so well that a lot of people didn't think he was actually leaving or taking any time off. We couldn't have asked for more."

Stating that since Danielson left on "very good terms," they believe the door is very much open for him to return to WWE in the future if that's what he wants to do.
