WWE Daniel Bryan wrestling career
Daniel Bryan started working as a professional wrestler back in 1999, and what most people do not know is that he was under contract in WWE from 2000 to 2003, but he spent most of his time in the developmental territories of the promotion.

He returned to WWE in 2009, after working on Florida Championship Wrestling, which was the developmental territory WWE back then.
