While they really didn't want Bryan to outshine Reigns, doubt that would be it since they have other ways of "cooling" him down without having to do something that drastic.
The on-going concussion lawsuit and CM Punk medical lawsuit are more likely the main reasons. Both hurt their standing if they let Bryan wrestle and he gets hurt again or make it seem like they only retired him out of pettiness.
