The pro-wrestling universe is still rejoicing over the fact that Daniel Bryan was allowed to compete in a WWE ring, going forward. It was after a lot of turmoil that the fan-favorite superstar was able to prove that he was right about WWE being wrong about not letting him compete for the past several years. Also, he was forced to take retirement, all of a sudden.
But, the fight never ended for a man like him for whom wrestling was everything. He did not stop from collecting more pieces of evidence from several doctors that forced the WWE medical team to re-evaluate things for his neck conditions. At this time, Wrestling Observer Newsletter brought out some interesting details about the incredible journey of the GOAT.
The source has not only declared the process of Dr. Joseph Maroon clearing Daniel Bryan but also the likely chance he will have in his contract as a future performer. As per the source, the Smackdown general manager asked the head of the medical team what would be needed to get the green signal for the in-ring comeback.
He was then sent to three renowned concussion specialists named Dr. Javier Cárdenas, Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher, and Dr. Robert Cantu. The former world champion was able to get clean-chits from all three of them after which Maroon had no choice but to move from his decision, as well. The final clearance was given on Monday Night, and the revelation was reserved for the next night to boost Smackdown ratings.

Furthermore, the source suggested that Daniel Bryan can choose as many as dates possible to work in an entire year. But, the returnee decides to work on a part-time schedule rather than going for a full-time schedule which is quite rigorous to someone like him who has been away from competition for a long time.

Check out the details of the same from SportsKeeda.com,
“The 4-time WWE Champion met the most doctors in WWE history — possibly combat sports history — over the span of 23 months and had earlier stated he would prefer working a lighter schedule that would have 60 dates than the daunting standard that is 200 dates.”
It is almost certain that Daniel Bryan will team up with Shane McMahon to team up with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn at Wrestlemania 34. This would mark the much-anticipated in-ring return for the leader of the YES movement.
