Daniel Bryan returned to in-ring competitions giving relief to most of the WWE Universe members. From Wrestlemania onwards, we did not see him in competitions that fuelled up speculations about a potential severe concussion. WWE has never clarified this but they did bring him back in the first chance available.
Doctors cleared him only last weekend as Daniel Bryan came back to action in this past week’s edition of Monday Night Raw. He had a failed attempt to win the WWE Championship in a Wrestlemania rematch but did capture the SmackDown Tag Team Championships, on the very next night that raised eyebrows for many of the WWE fans.
There’s a potential reason behind this as WWE officials may want to protect him from injuries. Brad Shepard on the Oh You Didn’t Know podcast revealed the reason why Daniel Bryan may have ended up being on the tag team division. He could not think of a better reason than his concussion-filled careers in the past.
The reliable source added that Daniel Bryan has just returned from an injury which may have something to do with his neck and back. So at this point, WWE wants to go slow with him rather than pushing him back into the main event championship picture, (H/T Ringside News).
“So Daniel Bryan and Rowan win to give Daniel Bryan a rest I mean we can only presume he’s obviously coming off of neck and back injuries where he had a little time off and they put him with Erick Rowan who is a very large man, but also, very boring then you know it allows him to work those matches and get less physical and obviously that’s healthy for him right now.”
WWE creative team has done the same when Sheamus was reportedly dealing with a neck injury. He was a victim of the spinal stenosis and inserting him in a tag team named The Bar helped to long his career. Sheamus is also out of action following Wrestlemania, though.
However, Daniel Bryan may not plan to stick around the tag team title picture for a long time. He is a main-event talent on any given day and hence and it should a matter of few months before he gets back to the WWE Championship picture.
