The prayers of the WWE Universe have been answered, and the rumors are true; Daniel Bryan will be back in the ring at some point in the near future.
WWE.com has released a new report today, saying that the “Smackdown Live” General Manager has been medically cleared to return to the squared circle.
It was thought that his days in the ring were over, following his retirement announcement on the February 8, 2016 episode of “Raw.” You can see a clip of that below:
However, the following report indicates that he may be back sooner than we think:
Following more than two years of extensive evaluations, four-time World Champion Daniel Bryan has been medically cleared to return to in-ring competition by leading neurosurgeons, neurologists and concussion experts, including Dr. Robert Cantu, Dr. Javier Cárdenas and Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher.
Bryan underwent a full review of his medical history and received comprehensive neurological and physical evaluations independent of WWE. He was cleared by each doctor as well as WWE’s Medical Director, Dr. Joseph Maroon.
His last match was on the April 16, 2015 episode of SmackDown, in which he teamed up with John Cena to defeat the WWE Tag Team Champions, Cesaro and Tyson Kidd, by submission.
Editor’s Opinion:
I had a hunch that this might happen, but wasn’t sure if it was going to be true. I cannot wait to see the leader of the “YES!” movement back in the ring, and I know you can’t either!
