Daniel Bryan Will Appear on “Monday Night Raw” on May 26

Much speculation surrounded the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan after he successfully underwent neck surgery this past Thursday. On “Monday Night Raw,” Stephanie McMahon demanded Bryan surrender the championship in person to her on the May 26 edition of “RAW.”

However, at the time, Bryan had been pulled from all WWE advertising, as it had been unclear just how long he would be out. Some reports had him out for six to eight weeks, though some backstage remained concerned for his well-being.

Regardless, Bryan is now scheduled to return this upcoming Monday in Knoxville, Tenn. The Thompson-Boling arena, where the show will tape from, has posted the following advertisement:

“WITNESS THE RETURN OF DANIEL BRYAN WHEN HE ANSWERS STEPHANIE MCMAHON’S DEMAND TO RELINQUISH THE WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP”

With that, it appears Bryan will in fact address The Authority’s wishes. It is still unknown at this time when he will return to action.

Editor’s Note:

Very important to have Bryan on television. The fact that he is showing up here makes me believe this may be dragged on a bit, until WWE has a clearer vision on when he will return.
