In case you didn’t know…
Before SmackDown Live the WWE released the incredible news that Daniel Bryan was cleared to compete again. By the time SmackDown Live had finished Bryan had hit Sami Zayn with a German Suplex, hit his running Turnbuckle Dropkicks and looked incredible doing so.
The heart of the matter
Those following Bryan’s story closely will know he’s already worked incredibly hard and gone to great lengths to prove he’s fit to return to active competition following his forced retirement three years ago. He’s undergone hyperbaric chamber treatment, consulted with several doctors and fought every step of the way.
Now Dave Meltzer from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has revealed that Bryan has also agreed to an extraordinary step as a condition of WWE allowing him to wrestle again.
As you can see, every time Bryan sets foot inside a ring, he must be extensively tested afterward until the WWE are satisfied there’s no actual risk to his health.
What’s next?
Bryan was stretchered out of SmackDown Live to close the show, but I’d expect the plan is for him to team with his fellow authority figure Shane McMahon to get revenge on their troublesome talent Owens and Zayn at WrestleMania.
Author’s take
Both John Cena and Brie Bella have gone on record recently saying they hope that people will realize the full extent of the work and effort Bryan has put in to get to this point and this sure does support their statements.
