Daniel Bryan Announces Sudden Retirement from WWE

While the WWE would have fans believe he’s simply been nursing injuries this entire time, there has been an interesting battle behind the scenes between Bryan and the WWE. The WWE refuses to let Bryan wrestle due to concussion concerns (they are also being sued by former wrestlers, much like the NFL) but Bryan has also been cleared to wrestle by two doctors outside the WWE’s medical team.

The rumors of Bryan pushing to return to the ring have been lingering for months now and there were reports this weekend that he may have been looking to get out of his WWE contract. According to reports, Bryan attempted to put in his notice with WWE to quit, but WWE refused his claim, due to a clause in his contract that allows WWE to extend contracts due to injuries.

How things go on RAW tonight will be very interesting. While he definitely seems to be done in the WWE, it may not be all that surprising if he resurfaces as Bryan Danielson with Ring of Honor or New Japan.
