UPDATE: The story from Ticket Drew is false. Bryan has not signed.
ORIGINAL: You are out of luck if you were expecting Daniel Bryan to make a surprise appearance at All In or if you were hoping to see him wrestle at the ROH/NJPW show at Madison Square Garden in April.
Ticket Drew, who has broken several stories in the past, is reporting that Daniel Bryan has indeed signed a new WWE deal. This news was expected after Bryan said in a recent interview that he was likely to sign a new deal with the company.

We don’t know the terms of the deal but if Bryan got what he wanted then that would mean that he would be working a limited schedule when the new deal starts on 9/1. Bryan has said publicly that the reduced schedule would allow him to spend more time with his family and it would allow his body to heal.
Several promotions were looking at signing Bryan if he chose to leave WWE and he had talked about wanting to do a hair vs. mask match in Mexico for CMLL. All of that appears to be off the table. This new deal also keeps him on board alongside wife Brie Bella for future seasons of Total Bellas on the E! Network.
