This be true just imagine the pop when his music hits on his eventual return

Surely they will have one of the ring announcers do the usual "Please welcome back" routine to completely kill it before hand.

Lithium93_ · 02-11-2014 2:37am

Or WWE could just carry on as normal, and have Daniel come back unexpected, similar to how The Rock just showed up when Raw was live in Brooklyn, New York on October 14th.

Please no.

WinnyThePoo · 29-12-2014 11:10pm

Please god no. Please god.

Or he could do a Mark Henry and Slam Cena to the mat.

rovert · 29-12-2014 11:17pm

He's entering the 1996 Royal Rumble:

ShagNastii · 29-12-2014 11:17pm

"I look forward to it."

No chance this is retirement or anything like it.

Oh ****.

If his health is at risk then clearly its the right move but i've missed him so bad.

Hashtag_HEEL · 29-12-2014 11:27pm

Imagine if it was retirement though. Bryan is a proud and pretty optimistic guy, I doubt he'll put up on his Twitter that it's bad news.

Hopefully it's an announcement to enter the rumble or that he's back for 'Mania at least.

If not its a truly sad day for wrestling!

brianregan09 · 29-12-2014 11:33pm

I can imagine him coming out looking set to retire only to swerve and say he's entering the Rumble.......We can hope

Hopefully while laying out John Cena with a busaiku knee.

Or Lesnar attacking him.

Cena beats Lesnar at the Royal Rumble for the title. Lesnar vs Bryan at Mania and Cena vs Reigns maybe? As Lesnar isn't seemingly re-signing with WWE.

Diabhal Beag · 30-12-2014 12:25am

I wouldn't be surprised if it was confirmation that he's out indefinitely but will be the GM. Not getting hopes up that he'll be back by Summerslam tbh. That injury sounds really dodgy.

thebostoncrab · 30-12-2014 12:36am

The app just gave an alert saying he will address everyone tonight....I have a really bad feeling about this

We've heard nothing about his rehab for months and months and whether if he had surgery.

Maybe his rehab went great OR he is having serious surgery soon.

None of the news site have a clue. Wait and see I guess.

Furious-Red · 30-12-2014 1:02am

Was kinda thinking about skipping Raw and watching it tonight but now with this news ill have to tune in

JP Liz V1 · 30-12-2014 1:38am

Maybe he shaved the beard

ricero · 30-12-2014 1:50am

What exactly is wrong with D Bryan ? Was it nerve or spinal damage ?

rovert · 30-12-2014 1:52am

Alex Riley was too unconvincing about Bryan calling it a day.

Rock Lesnar · 30-12-2014 1:54am

The fact he says hes looking forward to telling everybody whats up makes me think it might not be to serious

The thread says possible spoilers.

People are "spoiling" what Cesaro did last night in the "The Cesaro thread *potential spoilers*" thread. What's the difference between a possible and potential spoilers thread?

I would never go out of my way to spoil a show.

Don't feel good about this. A doctor magically cured his myriad of complex issues. Kurt Angle stuff.

jaykhunter · 30-12-2014 3:01pm

Great job proactively spoiler-tagging. Obviously it was explained via PM, but you don't need to spoiler tag now that I've changed the thread title to include "possible spoilers". The term "possible" and "potential" are obviously synonyms in this case

If you notice discrepancies between spoiled/non-spoiled thread titles and content, report the post, and one of the mods will fix it/them all asap.

Thinks Metsfan is a spoofer to the extreme. Wake me up when he posts something that doesn't play into the pre-existing Wreddit consensus on something. But anyways for the sake of the thread:

He's back back then:

As we mentioned in the Elite section of PWInsider.com, Daniel Bryan is expected at the WWE Performance Center this week to work out and prepare for his in-ring return.
While initially there were no plans for Bryan to wrestle until the Royal Rumble, that has changed as Bryan is now being listed for several house shows later this month.

Daniel Bryan has been added to the following Live Events:

Jan 16 - St.Louis, MO
Jan 17 - Abilene, TX
Jan 18 - San Antonio, TX

He is advertised to wrestle Kane in St. Louis, so he might also wrestle him the rest of the weekend.

Jan 30 - Lac Cruces, NM
Jan 31 - Albuquerque, NM
Feb 01 - Loveland, CO
He is advertised to wrestle Luke Harper on the Loveland show, so he might wrestle him on the other two shows as well.

Feb 14 - Tampa, FL
Feb 15 - Fort Myers, FL

rovert · 08-01-2015 10:49pm

Daniel Bryan returns to action next week on Smackdown announced during a commerical on NXT this week.

MitchKoobski · 08-01-2015 11:02pm

FFS

Had me all excited for the pop he was gonna get. Now we get to see him beat Adam Rose on Smackdown first.

rovert · 08-01-2015 11:18pm

There was a graphic at the Smackdown tapings too:

CastorTroy · 08-01-2015 11:36pm

Smackdown Ratings must be bad if they're treating it like a house show now.

Or maybe this is just to promote its move to a new day. ("New day!")

I'm fine with it. WWE need to see and he needs to see if he can still go.

He's a draw now. He'll get a monster pop regardless.

rovert · 14-01-2015 4:00pm

This is really worth a read. His miraculous recovery and possible in ring style change:

Brie and I don't have automatic locks. We actually have to turn the key in the car to open it. And I was so weak I couldn't even unlock the car door.

Jesus H Christ!! :eek:

JP Liz V1 · 23-02-2015 6:00pm

Is it Vince himself or HHH who is down on and against Bryan?

I think Vince for sure, not to have Bryan in a top 5 match at WM is bad business. But the way he's been treated since his return has been pretty awful. I think its been done to cool his overness. They will use the neck injury crap to justify not given him a big match.

I think neither man want him as a main eventer but gladly have him in the mid card putting over heels strong for their chosen ones.

Cianan2 · 23-02-2015 8:12pm

I disagree, I think Triple H is a big fan of his (see the article on bleacher report last week about their match last year) Sure he wouldn't put him over if he didn't like him?

I think it might be a case where, he had his moment last year and because he missed a majority of the year with injury they give the spot to the guys that haven't missed anything near as much travel/TV time. Unfair but I'm sure he'll be back in the picture in no time

CSF · 23-02-2015 9:12pm

Ah yeah, sure Dean Ambrose was just being put with Wyatt as a stopgap before going back to the Rollins feud.

rovert · 23-04-2015 11:34am

*BUMP*

From the Observer newsletter released before this morning's podcast:

We were told that Bryan was injured on 3/31 in his match with Sheamus at the Smackdown tapings in Fresno. Bryan was banged up and also bloodied up, and there was criticism of Sheamus in the match. PW Insider reported the injury taking place on 4/9 in Dublin, although that may have aggravated problems since the vague injury, the term “banged up” being used, was the term we were told after the Sheamus match and when the tour started. The scheduled Bryan vs. Barrett matches were turned into trios matches from the start of the European tour and he was in the ring very little in those matches.

There were reports from talent that he suffered a concussion, which the company denied, although nothing has been said about what his injuries were or how long he’ll be out of action. The belief is that it will be a few more weeks. One company source gave the time frame as five weeks, but officially the company had not stated anything regarding even whether he would be wrestling on Sunday or not.
..........

One person who knew basically intimated that is was being kept a closely guarded secret and that banged up would be a nice, accurate but purposely vague way to put it.

Then on the podcast Dave said he does not believe that Bryan's making the PPV and said that the situation really does not sound good at all.

Lord TSC · 23-04-2015 12:26pm

Jesus, you think of how they rushed him back for the Rumble to do nothing at Mania, and now this

Really hasn't been a good return for him at all...

Diabhal Beag · 23-04-2015 1:30pm

This really feels ominously close to a retirement

No, injuries that he got don't justify crapping all over Bryan they way they did.

JP Liz V1 · 24-04-2015 4:47pm

Will the IC title be taken off him if he cant defend "30 days rule" which didn't apply to Lesnar

He was not booked well since his return but the decision to keep him out of the main event title scene is looking increasingly vindicated by recent developments. Can you imagine if he had won the title over Brock at Wrestlemania and this stuff started going down? It would have been a disaster for not only the title, but also Lesnar.

I think DM_7 made this point a few months back that Bryan was too risky to win the title so soon after returning.
