Rumors have swirled about the specifics and severity of Daniel Bryan’s injury since the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion was removed from WWE’s European tour in April. Now, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has uncovered some information about the situation.
Meltzer reports that the word they received from the start is that Bryan is suffering from concussion-related injuries, and the WWE fears that it could be career ending. It was said that the problems stemmed from a match with Sheamus just after WrestleMania 31.
According to the report, WWE has chosen to keep the specifics of the injury quiet because of the concussion-related lawsuits filed, and the fact that Bryan continued working shows while suffering symptoms.
Meltzer mentioned on an episode of Wrestling Observer Radio las week that Bret Hart’s recent interview with Sports Illustrated gave away the secret WWE had been trying to keep. Hart said that Bryan would never wrestle again, and compared his injury to the one he sustained at the hands of Goldberg that ended his career.
