This past Friday night on Smackdown, Daniel Bryan came up short against Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship. As part of the pre-match stipulations, Bryan is now banned from wrestling on Smackdown, leaving his onscreen future in doubt.
WWE has moved Bryan to the alumni section of their website, reserved for former WWE stars. He can be found between former WWE stars Damien Sandow (currently wrestling in NWA as Aron Stevens) and Darren Young (currently working on New Japan Strong as Fred Rossier).
It should be noted that WWE has frequently moved signed talent to the alumni section as part of a storyline. The most recent example was NXT’s Roderick Strong after he “resigned” from NXT on their April 13 episode.
