SMACKDOWN LIVE GM Daniel Bryan Says He's Still Trying To Get Cleared To Compete In WWE
It looks like Daniel Bryan is still hopeful that he will eventually be cleared to return to in-ring action in WWE. In a new interview, the former champ reveals that all of his tests have "come back fantastic".
The saga of Daniel Bryan's ongoing quest to return to in-ring action continues, but this latest update is a hopeful one.
While speaking to The Trentonian, Bryan revealed that his tests have all come back £fantastic", and that WWE actually wants him back as an active Superstar - however, it sounds like there's a lot more going on behind-the-scenes that could throw up some road blocks for the former American Dragon:
I’m trying to get cleared as we speak. All my tests have come back fantastic, better than people who have never had any concussion-type stuff. But it’s a weird thing. We’re in a weird situation politically with the climate around concussions; right now, it’s very difficult. WWE would love to have me back, but is that the smart thing for me as a business to bring me back? If I was to come back, and they let me back, would they get a lot of flak for it? They have a ton of stockholders that they’re responsible for. It’s more than just, ‘Is he healthy to do it?’
There’s more than that to the whole situation. All the concussion doctors think that I’m healthy enough to do it, and that I should be able to do it — well, I don’t want to say all of them, I’m sure there’s somebody out there who doesn’t think that — but there’s a lot more than goes into it than just that. That’s the unfortunate situation with giant corporations and big business in the United States.”
Bryan was recently attacked by Kane on RAW, leading to speculation that their altercation might be leading to an angle between the two. While that seems likely, it doesn't necessarily mean that it'll conclude with match.
At any rate, we should find out more this Monday night, so keep an eye on TRR for updates.
