Daniel Bryan seems ready for retirement as WWE star hints this contract will be his last run working for Vince McMahon
WWE legend Daniel Bryan has dropped another retirement hint by stating this could be his last run with the company.

He and wife Brie Bella, another former WWE champ, welcomed the arrival of baby boy Buddy Dessert in August.
Fans were delighted to see the 39-year-old back in the ring.
However, the future Hall of Famer told Talking Smack his stint as a full-time performer will be over once his existing deal expires.
The icon, real name Bryan Danielson, said: “In my mind, this is my last run, this is my last run as a full-time WWE Superstar.
“It's not really a scoop, I think you can feel it by even the way I approach things and my mentality as far as my view toward younger people and all that stuff. As I’m doing this last run it’s not 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.”
