True, but I was really referring to what they did at the Royal Rumble and Fastlane. At both of those pay-per-views, they booked Bryan as not good enough in order to kill his momentum and siphon heat onto Reigns (not sure why they thought this would work, though...). If they would have waited a bit on Bryan's return (and would have not put him in the Rumble, for sure) and had Bryan, say, work his way up to a title match with Rollins that he lost in a hard-fought contest, it would have more than likely been less of an issue, and they would have been able to transition to the IC title reign more organically (this is, of course, only one idea).

One of the big issues with the whole Bryan/Reigns situation was that Bryan didn't get a chance to reclaim the title he never lost. It certainly wasn't the only issue, but it was the one that WWE had the most control over. All they had to do was find a way to give Bryan that match in an appropriate environment (not necessarily win it), and, even if there was backlash, it would have been much more muted than what we got. And the funniest thing about the situation was that they already went through this with Bryan three years ago. The 18 second thing was a fukk up they mostly corrected (for Bryan) by putting on a legitimate (and pretty damn good) title match that Bryan ultimately lost, then putting him in an important storyline right afterward. Nobody rioted or took over shows after he lost at Extreme Rules that year, they just watch Bryan go about his business in his next storyline.

All I'm saying is that it wouldn't have been very difficult to avoid this mess if they put some thought into it. Instead, they tried to sacrifice him for the sake of Reigns' push, and it did nobody any good.

I think it's pretty obvious that Bryan was set on returning for Wrestlemania season, whether at full health or not. But all of that is speculation (just like the talk about the E pushing Bryan's return).

Regarding the bolded, I won't argue against that but I feel the poor booking had more to do with him returning when they had no plan for him and just doing the best they could while trying to protect him from putting his health on the line again too fast. Yes, it could've been handled a lot better if they took their time with it but hindsight is 20/20 and Bryan's health situation was clearly more complex than we were aware of at that point. Sometimes it's not just a matter of incompetence, sometimes you're just dealt a shytty hand, and this was most likely a case of both.

Brie Bella may have been injured at Friday’s WWE live event in State College, Pennsylvania.
During The Bella Twins vs. Naomi and Tamina Snuka, Brie was going at it with Tamina when she landed bad on her shoulder. The referee threw up the dreaded “X” sign and trainers came out to tend to Brie.


After the match, which The Bella Twins won, Tamina and Naomi double teamed Nikki until Paige returned and made the save.

Brie and Daniel watching Wrestlemania live on the WWE Network a year or two from now like "Well, we had a good run."

Word on the street is that he is out for 12-16 months at least.its online already.

It is possible that Daniel Bryan will never be able to return to WWE, reports the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The internal outlook in WWE is negative. The Observer’s Dave Meltzer has been told that the injury is expected to be a long lay off.

That explains why the company are remaining quiet. They really don’t want to say anything other than good news, which unfortunately doesn’t exist right now. Instead they are giving Bryan the time that he needs and are hoping for a medical improvement.

With scant details on the exact nature of the injury, it is hard to really know what the cause is. But with Meltzer reporting it as “expected out a long time”, it could well be a recurrence of the same issue that kept Bryan out for so long last year.

Retirement is something that the popular superstar must be thinking about. Two lengthy injuries in the space of a year is a sign. Even if he recovered, he’d find what he did in his last come back, that all of the top spots have already moved on to other guys.

The fact is that Daniel Bryan peaked at WrestleMania 30 and it is never going to be that good again. He doesn’t live for wrestling and has many interests outside of the business, so a retirement really could be imminent.

The latest on the health of former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan is that, while no time-frame for return has been decided upon by either WWE or doctors, things aren’t looking good. A source told the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Bryan is expected to remain out of action “a long time”, and as we’ve been reporting, the possibility exists that he may never return to the ring at all. At least not for any official, full-time capacity for WWE.

Again, nothing is definite. The situation remains much like it did at this time in 2014, when Bryan was forced to vacate the world title after WWE Extreme Rules, and it was unclear to what extent he was injured. Obviously we will provide you with any new information on Daniel Bryan when it becomes available.

Nothing I've ever heard about or from Bryan suggests he ever wants to give up wrestling so I have no clue what the hell they're talking about here.
