He should go back to his pure wrestling technical style instead of the headbutting, super stiff stuff that led him to these injuries. He can still do his same spots for the most part, but tone the stiffness way down. We should never see a headbutt war between him and Dolph ever again. That was ridiculous.

That gave me flashbacks to when Bryan wrestled against Nigel McGuinness and one of their spots was that they would trade headbutts with each other while one stood still and the other ran at them off the ropes headfirst. It remains as one of the most ridiculous and dangerous spots I've ever seen.

Bryan and Dolph cracking their heads against each other on the night after Mania was obnoxious. It was like, the next week that Sheamus concussed him.

As stupid as it sounds I'm beginning to wonder if they even want him back, he'll just derail the moderate Reigns popularity

If Cena was in the same position as Bryan I have no doubt he'd be cleared to return

[dreidemy]

Once again in the Road to Wrestlemania one of the few guys that creates buzz is Daniel Bryan

If they clear him, I hope they let him win the Rumble

If they don't clear him, with all the news around the number of doctors that have cleared him, the media will pick this history and start speculating what are WWE intentions

Cena's a genetic freak to the point that Steiner'd be jealous.

Dude just heals quick (and comes back way faster than he should).

We don't know how long Bryan's had this third doctor's opinion, do we? Roman will be pushed regardless of Bryan's status. And honestly, I'd be fine with Bryan as HBK '05-10 at this point. High profile guy who doesn't need the title, but has amazing stories.

[Hit Girl]

I'd be fine with him coming back and getting involved in the IC title picture with Ambrose and Owens.

I don't give a shit about him winning the world title.

This news is several months old.

No it isn't.

This is the third opinion doctor. Up until now, we only knew about his personnal physician and Dr. Maroon.

yes, I realized my mistake pretty much immediately after I posted this.

Those headbutts he did with Ziggler not only looked shitty but were absolutley moronic.

Daniel Bryan vs Nakamura at Wrestlemania 32 is gonna happen.

[ben:friendship frog]

I'd be fine with him not being in the main events. I just want the guy back on my TV! Plus it makes sense to ease him back in and not burden him too much. Test the waters as to how he holds up.

Unless he concussed himself again.

Really doesn't matter unless the WWE's doctor clears him.

[CeilingFan]

at the Fastlane PPV, they can announce that Bryan will return at WrestleMania. His opponent will be.........THE UNDERTAKER!!

And as long as they are facing millions of dollars in damages over multiple lawsuits accusing them of not taking concussions seriously, I cannot see them going against his recommendation.

[Perd]

This is such an interesting situation. I just wonder if this changes anything. He still hasn't, at least from what we know, been cleared by WWE's doctor. Would they go over his head to get Bryan back sooner? If they still don't clear him, even after multiple clearances, from what seems like well regarded doctors, does it start to fall into question WWE's true motives for continuing to keep Bryan on the shelf?

[N E O G E O B O Y S]

I think that the problem with bryan isn't that he isn't healthy to return, but more than he has an history of so many concussions (10-15) that they are afraid of the long term problems that he will had and how that will bite them in the future

[4real]

He needs to slow down his ring style drastically now, he didn't seem to do that at all last year but he needs to be smarter this time. If he gets a 'this time' of course.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

If this means that his brain is gonna be alright and he can go back to being Dat Superhero D-Bry, good shit.

Can't lie....they honestly looked pretty sweet. Thing is, those dudes can do something 100x more safer and looks just as cool, which is why it's wrong.

I was thinking Bryan/Lesnar because they hinted at it a bit last year

[The Heartbreak TWERK]

Also in the group that thinks he's got to slow down and adapt his style.

If Bryan isn't 1A or 1B, he's at best 1C and at worst 2A.

His offense doesn't need to be that of a pinball. He needs to move into that Shawn Michaels '02 to '10 style.
