A former world champion might be leaving AEW very soon. The star being discussed here is Bryan Danielson, formerly known as Daniel Bryan. The 42-year-old star is a five-time World Champion in WWE.

The American Dragon's contract is set to expire before the AEW All In Pay-Per-View this year. However, he is to stay with the Tony Khan-led company until October 12, 2024, as a full-time wrestler.

A recent report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter updated fans on Bryan's contract status. It was reported that Danielson had promised his daughter that he would leave full-time wrestling this year and he wishes to fulfill his promise.

Upon hearing this news, the wrestling universe went online to share their thoughts on X/Twitter.

Some fans want Bryan to return to WWE after his contract with the Jacksonville-based company expires.

"Come back Home DB 👀🤞🏻," a fan requested.

"Well maybe retire in 24 with AEW and go back to WWE at royal rumble?" another fan shared.

Others believe that he will not leave the Tony Khan-led promotion entirely and will still appear in the promotion although less frequently.

"He'll be working with AEW behind the scenes I'm sure," a fan commented.

"He’ll still be with aew just will wrestle on special occasions is my guess," another fan shared.
