Daniel Bryan is perhaps the best in-ring athlete of this generation. Many of the fans believe this by heart.
He is in his league of wrestling where technicality is everything. It’s amazing how he proved himself to be the very best despite his small size. WWE has always preferred the big guys on the main event level.
But, there are only a few names like Daniel Bryan who turned out to be the exceptions. Add the neck injury to that. It stacked all the odds against him. But, he was able to overcome all of that with the help of the WWE Universe.
There’s no one popular wrestler on this planet like this man. The YES movement received a new life after the WWE doctors cleared him to wrestle, again.
But, the upcoming journey inside the squared circle will not be an easy one for him. He has to undergo impact tests after every single match. The doctors and The Boss himself is conscious about another concussion to Daniel Bryan. It is the reason why he can’t go all out while competing inside the ring.
The former world champion opened up on this matter in recent times. Daniel Bryan confirmed he is undergoing a gradual change in wrestling style. He has to be safe while competing in a ring so that his career gets extended. His neck is a concern for the fans and doctors. So, he has to avoid any such nasty collisions.
Bryan reflected the same idea in his recent matches, as well. Smackdown had recently delivered some matches featuring his name. Daniel Bryan used a new finishing move named the heel hook. In this submission, he puts the YES lock on the legs of the opponent instead of their face. It might put less pressure on his neck and save energy.
Check out the in-ring technician’s comment on this issue,
“The idea would be that I do things differently and people aren’t able to perceive it. Specifically, with the Wrestlemania match, we wanted to show people that the old Daniel Bryan was back – I want to change my style, but I’m doing it gradually.
This is probably in more detail than fans would probably want to know but I’m setting up those things, so the matches are still entertaining and interesting – if you’re watching it for a story front to back, it’s more interesting with less risk.”

It is probably the best move that Daniel Bryan can come up with. The WWE universe wants him to be around for a long time around. They want him to reach the top of the mountain and become the world champion, once again. The dream will come to reality someday, hopefully.
