The Business Times recently interviewed WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan. Bryan addressed his contract status and even said that there’s a “good chance” he will stay with the company. As previously reported, his contract is supposedly set to expire in early September. Below are some highlights.

Daniel Bryan on looking for a new high in his career: “The drive is always to do something better. I want to create a performance next that’s better than any performance I’ve ever done. And when you talk about that, you talk about the high points of my career like main-eventing Wrestlemania 30. That’s the highest you can really get. How do you create things that are as creatively, mentally and emotionally satisfying as that? And that is what I am in the pursuit of.”

Daniel Bryan on the state of the industry but saying there’s a good chance he will re-up with WWE: “The wrestling world is an interesting world right now. But I love working with WWE, and my wife [Brie Bella] is a part of WWE and so there’s a good chance I’ll re-sign.”

“It’s weird. We actually don’t have many young guys on SmackDown. Most of them are in their 30s. Almost everyone with the exception of Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas are in their 30s and Andrade has been wresting since he was 15 years old. When you wrestle with people, you learn from wrestling with them and when you talk to people, you’re learning without specifically coming up to somebody and saying, ‘Hey, what do you think about this?’ Just within the process of wrestlers talking, we’re learning about each other’s ideas, about what we are doing, and doing matches with each other. I think everyone is constantly learning within our industry.”
