6 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (May 11th)

By Scott Carlson /

1. Bryan Surrenders IC Title

Without a doubt, the saddest development Monday night had to be Daniel Bryan relinquishing the Intercontinental Championship and announcing that he still didn€™t know how long he would be on the shelf. For fans, it€™s déjà vu all over again, with Bryan gaining a major victory at WrestleMania, just to see it all snatched away due to injury. Fans chanted, €œThank you Bryan!€ as if they believed that this was D-Bry€™s in-ring retirement, but really, you can€™t blame them. Two unknown injuries a year apart does not bode well for the long-term plans and future of a wrestler. That knowledge leaves you with a bad feeling in the pit of your stomach.Personal, selfish feelings aside, this is a smart move for Bryan, putting his personal health first and (hopefully) getting himself in better shape to compete at a high level. You would like to believe that the way in which he surrendered the IC title that it would be treated as a serious wrestling title, but it remains to be seen if WWE can pull that off.
