DANIEL BRYAN'S WWE CAREER WILL SOON BE DECIDED

Daniel Bryan was interviewed by IGN.com and when asked about where things stand with his career and returning to the ring, he commented, "So, we don't know. I had a concussion in April, and obviously they're very hyper-sensitive about concussion stuff right now. One neurologist who specializes in concussions - who was the neurologist for the Super Bowl last year - cleared me with no limitations. All my testing came back excellent. But the WWE's medical doctor is skeptical, because of my history of concussions and that sort of thing. So they will not clear me. So now, we have two doctors: one saying no, one saying yes. They're going to send me to a third doctor at some point in the near future and that doctor will decide my fate."

Bryan noted that he's taken up gardening while he is out of the ring and has thought of potentially announcing but said he believes it would be hard to be around wrestling regularly without being able to compete.

As far as where he stands personally about returning, Bryan said, "The WWE doctor Joe Maroon [is] amazing and highly respected in the concussion field, and if they send me to a third neurologist who's also highly respected in the concussion field and they say literally no...well, then is it really smart to go against two doctors? I get all fired up...and then I'm like, maybe that's not the best thing for me and my family going forward."

Bryan noted in the same interview that should something happen and his WWE run would end, he would happily return to the independents.
