WWE is reportedly looking at Daniel Bryan as if he’ll never be cleared to return to their ring and are trying to plan other things for him to keep him around. WWE officials have reportedly told Bryan that he won’t ever be cleared and have offered him other, non-wrestling roles in the company.
As we’ve previously reported here on eWrestlingNews.com, Bryan has been cleared by other concussion specialists but not by WWE and Dr. Joseph Maroon. Bryan recently argued his case to Vince McMahon and was told that he probably will not be cleared to return to the ring. Despite this, several members of the current WWE roster were expecting Bryan to make a surprise return at Sunday night’s WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view event. Of course, that didn’t happen.
Bryan recently said in an interview that he’d be interested in returning to the indies, including Ring of Honor (ROH), if WWE won’t clear him. There is no word on when his current WWE contract expires as of this writing.
