Daniel Bryan: “This is my last run as a full-time superstar”

Daniel Bryan discusses being a father and feeling that this current run is his last as a full-time talent.

Daniel Bryan competed in his first match since May on the 10/23 episode of SmackDown on FS1. Bryan teamed with Kevin Owens and SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) to defeat Cesaro, Shinsuke Nakamura, Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler.

Following the show, Bryan appeared on Talking Smack and he discussed being a father and how that has positively impacted him. Bryan added that this current run is his last as a full-time performer in WWE.

“I haven’t said anything about this, but in my mind, this is my last run. This is my last run as a full-time superstar.

Well, it’s not really a scoop. I think you can feel it in even just the way I approach things and the way my mentality is as far as my view towards younger people and all that kind of stuff and 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.”

Daniel Bryan was also involved in a backstage segment with Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn. Zayn defeated Bryan at WrestleMania 36 to retain the Intercontinental Title.
