Daniel Bryan Net Worth and Salary: Daniel Bryan is a $12 million net worth American professional wrestler. He first gained attention for his work in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) where he is currently employed as the authority figure of the brand extension of NXT, called the "World Heavyweight Champion". He is also known for being one half of the tag team The Broken Wings with A-Train. Bryan's career has been marked by success and controversy. When he started out, he was given the nickname "The Yes Man" because fans would always say "yes!" when he entered the ring. During this time, he was involved in multiple storylines with John Cena that led to both men becoming world champions. After leaving WWE, he formed his own wrestling promotion called Straight Edge Branding. They held their first show on May 23, 2010 and featured eight matches. The event drew 1,500 people and earned $120,000 at the Southgate Shopping Centre in Columbia, South Carolina. In 2011, WWE hired him back after they lost interest in creating new characters. Since returning, he has won several championships including the World Heavyweight Championship twice. In 2014, he began working the independent circuit again after WWE cancelled their partnership agreement with Straight Edge Branding.
