Backstage Reaction to Daniel Bryan’s WWE Status, Officials Considering a Non-Wrestling Role for the Former IC Champ?

May 13, 2015

Because there is no real timetable for Bryan’s ring return, and because the possibility exists he might never return to the ring, the situation has caused a lot of frustration backstage in WWE. Obviously, WWE wants what is best for Bryan in terms of his health, but the company needs and wants him on TV as they have a DVD for him coming out soon, as well as other Bryan products and projects which need to be promoted. As a result, and because WWE officials feel he is so injury prone, it has been discussed that Bryan might be better used in a non-wrestling role.

Bryan has been trying very hard to get cleared to return to the ring, and since dropping the IC Title on Raw this week there has been no word on whether or not Bryan will undergo the surgery he has been reluctant to get. Needless to say, people backstage in WWE are feeling pretty bad for Bryan right now.
