#6 Former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan joins AEW
One of the biggest names that is currently not signed to WWE is Daniel Bryan. The former WWE Champion was a part of the main event of Night Two of WrestleMania 37. He competed against Edge and Universal Champion Roman Reigns in a triple threat match.
A few weeks after that, Bryan challenged Reigns for his title on SmackDown, with the stipulation that if he lost, he would be banished from the Blue brand. After he failed to defeat The Tribal Chief, fans started wondering whether Bryan will move over to RAW or NXT.
Surprisingly, it was revealed that his WWE contract had expired and the company silently moved him to the alumni section on their website.
Daniel Bryan doesn't have a non-compete clause and could technically wrestle for any promotion anytime. Many were speculating him to be the "mystery entrant" in this year's Casino Battle Royal at AEW Double or Nothing.
While that didn't happen, Bryan showing up in AEW in the coming months is a real possibility since he has previously stated his desire to wrestle for different promotions.
