Daniel Bryan
is part of the great Hospital that WWE has become in recent months, however, his case is perhaps the most serious of all. Although he has declared for months that he is ready to return to the ring, the company's doctors do not consider it so.
And as we reported almost a month ago, Daniel has other companies in mind, like CMLL in Mexico, to continue his career as a professional wrestler if WWE does not allow him (by medical recommendation) to perform his wrestling work. And although this is unlikely, because WWE wants him to fulfill his entire contract and even renew it to perform other functions, even if the main clinical recommendation in WWE is fulfilled: the retirement of "The American Dragon".

- May 2015: On May 12 during WWE RAW, Bryan announces that he has to vacate the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
- June 2015: Daniel Bryan paid Mr. Javier Cárdenas, a specialist in neurology who works with the NFL and after different analyzes, determined that he was ready to compete and gave him medical clearance.
- July 2015: After this, Bryan considered that he is already capable and other exams were done by WWE, however, once again his doctors denied him from returning to compete.
- October 2015: Daniel Bryan and WWE reached an agreement for a third doctor, agreed upon by both parties, to analyze and give another opinion on Daniel Bryan's current health status.
- November 2015: Daniel Bryan was examined by a third doctor and it is expected and assumed that the result he determines will be the official one and the one that decides if Daniel will return to the ring (at least in WWE) or if he should retire as indicated by WWE's primary physician, Doctor Joseph Maroon. The results of the tests have not been delivered to either WWE or the wrestler.
According to the wrestling news publication, Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Daniel is currently awaiting the official results that will determine his future. It is very likely that WWE will demand other exams by its doctors to make the final decision.
