When Was Daniel Bryan Cleared to Return?

Yes indeed. In what might be the biggest wrestling story of the year, Daniel Bryan has been cleared for his in-ring return. The news broke earlier this week in a huge announcement, followed by a major speech on “Smackdown Live”. One question has been when Bryan was cleared to return to the ring, and who would know better than him?

It’s sooner than you would think.

In a new video posted to WWE’s YouTube channel, Bryan said that he was cleared on Monday night. This may go a long way to explain the emotion involved in Bryan’s speech, where he talked about following his dreams.

Opinion: Bryan may not be the biggest guy in the world but he’s one of the best in recent memory at getting the fans to believe in him. He really does come off as one of the nicest guys in wrestling and that means the fans want to see him achieve every one of his dreams. I’m excited to see Bryan get back in the ring, which is rather surprising as I wasn’t a huge fan before. I always respected him, but I never got attached to him. Maybe that’s changed, as I want to see where this goes.

Here’s the speech he was writing.
