Daniel Bryan’s Current Health Issues are Reportedly Concussion Related

According to new reports, former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan’s current health issues are reportedly concussion related after all. It was initially  reported that Bryan was sent home from the European WWE Live Event tour in April due to a concussion, but then other WWE sources claimed that his injury was related to the neck surgery and issues that he went through with his body in 2014.

However, Dave Meltzer of F4Wonline.com reports that Bryan’s current health issues are in fact concussion related, and WWE is trying to keep it under wraps. Bryan has commented on his injuries in interviews and podcasts, trying to make people believe that he is dealing with repercussions of his “style” of wrestling and the neck issues he had in 2014, when he had surgery on his neck in May of last year.

While WWE and Bryan are trying to put the focus on his previous injury, it is believed that Bryan did in fact suffer a severe concussion during a run-in with Sheamus during the “Smackdown” tapings that took place two nights following WrestleMania 31. Bryan’s forehead was split open during a spot and he had to receive multiple stitches to deal with the wound.

Bryan then went over seas for the first WWE European tour of 2015, and was sent home after he began to show signs of a severe concussion. Apparently Bryan is still dealing with these issues, and WWE doesn’t want the world to know just what it is Bryan is suffering from.

The injury is career threatening, even though Bryan continues to claim that he’ll be back in the ring at some point. Corey Graves was the latest superstar who had to quit competing due to concussion related issues. Bryan’s injury is said to resemble Graves’.

WWE is trying to keep the head injury quiet due to the lawsuits that were filed against him around the same time Bryan suffered the massive concussion. The lawsuits against the company are in relation to head injuries, and WWE’s, “business of brutality.” WWE believes that if the press got a hold of Bryan’s status, it would be bad PR in regards to those lawsuits and the constant negative hubbub surrounding health and the wrestling business as a whole.
