Daniel Bryan Offered Non-Wrestling Role For Road To WrestleMania 32?
Is he likely to say yes, yes, yes, yes?
CJ Quinn of WrestleChat is reporting that Vince McMahon wants Daniel Bryan back on WWE television in order to bolster interest in WrestleMania 32, and help boost Monday Night Raw's lagging ratings. The report cites sources close to Bryan, indicating that the former WWE champion does not want to return in anything other than a wrestling role. Bryan, who has been out since last spring with concussion-related injuries, was cleared by doctors at UCLA in January, but not by WWE or their medical director, Dr. Joseph Maroon. There is an indication that if Bryan refuses the non-wrestling role, it may hurt his chances of ever wrestling again in WWE, though that remains up in the air at this point anyway as a possibility. Raw on Monday night emanates from KeyArena in Seattle, two hours from Bryan's billed home of Aberdeen, WA. If Daniel Bryan was to make his return for this year's WrestleMania season then there would be no other opportune time for such a moment. As for what Bryan's non-wrestling role could be, there have been several reports in recent days of offers out to Batista (which was seemingly rejected) and retired WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels (his answer currently unknown) to perhaps referee the expected WrestleMania 32 main event of Triple H vs. Roman Reigns.
