WWE website claims Daniel Bryan has been released

The WWE website reports that Daniel Bryan has been released from his contract. "We wish Daniel Bryan the best in all future endeavors," reads the post, which you can read at WWE.com.

Powell's POV: I'm highly skeptical of this one given the current NXT invasion storyline. That said, if it is a work, it's an odd one given that the NXT rookies supposedly don't have contracts. Thanks to all the readers who passed along the story.
