The official WWE website has an article up looking at the status of Intercontinental Champion Daniel Bryan.
As noted earlier this week, WWE is no longer advertising Daniel Bryan for any upcoming live events or TV tapings through the end of June.
The article talks about Bryan’s condition, and while they don’t go into specific details on his injury, they do allude to the fact that they are unsure of how long he will be out of action.
Below is an excerpt from the article:
“Perhaps The Authority should, in fact, step in. Bryan himself has proclaimed that a titleholder needs to be a fighting champion, always ready to give the WWE Universe the show they deserve. If the bearded Superstar can’t provide that level of competition due to injury or otherwise, even he would argue it’s only fair that he should step aside for someone else who can.
It’s very possible that this swell of speculation is all for nothing. Certainly, The Beard could emerge on Raw or SmackDown, this week or the next, to clarify that he’s ready to return — be it after a few more weeks of recoup or, better still, that he is good to go now. In that case, there then would remain one more very important question: Should Bryan come back to defend the title, will he be the same athlete that we have come to know?
The article questions whether Bryan will be forced to change his in-ring style, something that’s been widely suggested by industry analysts. As Steve Austin suggested on a recent podcast, the article teases that Bryan could take on more of a brawling style.
