WWE Rumors: Daniel Bryan Could Leave Company If Not Cleared To Return from Concussion
It has been months since WWE fans have seen Daniel Bryan in action. The wrestler has been in the sidelines after sustaining injuries and concussions, which could probably see him out of the popular wrestling entertainment firm, if he does not get the go signal to fight again.
In April, Cageside Seats reported that the wrestler was pulled out from the show's European tour as a "precautionary measure" after it was learned that he suffered a concussion from the taping of the March 31 episode for "Smackdown."
Since then, the 34-year-old wrestler has been missing in action and it remains unclear if fans will see him inside the ring again.
Bryan's current condition
The wrestler was a guest in the recent episode of "Busted Open" in Sirius XM 92 and he offered details about his injury, rest and career in the WWE.
"I told them, regardless of them, if they won't clear me... we're independent contractors, in theory... I will wrestle again," said Bryan.
He added, "I am cleared by the neurologist in Phoenix that I've been going to see. It's not like he's a quack doctor. He was the neurologist for the Super Bowl."
Bryan admitted that despite the non-clearance from WWE, he knows why the company had to make a business decision.
"But you also have to understand that WWE is not only looking out for my best interest, but they have to look out for their company as well, and I understand all of that, too," continued the wrestler.
'Life without wrestling'
The 2011 "Money In The Bank" winner said he has already spoken with CEO Vince McMahon and Executive VP for Talent Triple H and explained that wrestling is his passion and he's willing to do everything to pursue it.
Bryan clarified that his injuries were due to concussions and they were not caused by a problem with his neck as previously reported, noted Wrestling Inc.
But the 34-year-old insisted that he is fine and will find a way to return to work.
"I really don't know life without wrestling," he told Sports Illustrated. "I've taken all these neuropsychological exams, and my brain, right now, is healthier than most people my age who've never even had a concussion."
While he is unsure whether he will be back in the WWE ring soon, Bryan is not writing wrestling entirely off from his life. He is determined to continue with it even if it takes him elsewhere, as he admitted that he almost moved to TNA if Paul Heyman took over in 2010.
"I'm pursuing the things that make me happy, and that's really helped me along the way," said the wrestler.
Bryan is still awaiting clearance from the WWE's neurologists to get back in the ring and fight once again.
