Speaking with journalists at the AEW All Out Media Scrum, Bryan admitted WWE gave him permission to explore projects outside the WWE, but WWE Chairman Vince McMahon always wanted Bryan with him.
“The offer WWE gave me, they were gonna let me go do some other stuff on the outside, but, I hate to say this. He [Vince McMahon] and I have a great relationship. I love him, I do. Sometimes he’s overprotective of me. I want to be able to push my limits.” Bryan said.
