Daniel Bryan has been out since July, and while he had already gotten clearance from a doctor over at Arizona, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) doctors have yet to give him the green light to return to active wrestling duty.
Bryant suffered a concussion during a live event at that time, and it seems that to this day, such has been the reason why the WWE has been holding the former WWE heavyweight champion back.
Or is it?
It will already be three months since that incident, and some folks believe that it may be more than just a concussion. In fact, the state of his neck has somehow made its way into the scene, a career-threatening one that places his health in suspect.
However, Bryan did clarify that angle out. He claims his neck is fine and that WWE doctors continue to hold him back due to the concussion issue.
While it all seems that the WWE is looking out for its people, Bryan doesn't seem to disagree. Being an independent contractor, he says that he will wrestle at some point (and apparently doctors will be rendered helpless).
But the thing is that if he does wrestle in WWE, he could be doing such somewhere else. If no WWE doctor clears him, it is unlikely he will be able to wrestle in the WWE.
But the real question now is on whether or not the WWE would be wise to let the bearded one walk. Without question, he is a big draw. He could be retained as a commentator or even a general manager (something he has done before), but that would require a heavy heart-to-heart talk, including explaining why the WWE doesn't want him to wrestle.
Bryan believes that he is purposely being held back, but the guy knows he has to earn a living. Right now, he doesn't see anything better to do than to wrestle, which, unfortunately, cannot happen (yet) in the WWE scene.
