10 Most Depressing Injuries In WWE History

6. Daniel Bryan (Seriously Damaged Neck)

One of the most popular WWE stars in recent memory, Daniel Bryan was thrust into the main event spotlight due to his own hard work and the rabid loyalty of his fans. There's a very good chance that the promotion may not have pushed Bryan had fans not demanded it. His story is one of an underdog who has reached the top, but it could also be one that has come to an end. Bryan has always wrestled an incredibly rugged style inside the ring. Injuries aren't a new thing for the man, who once finished a match with a detached retina in one of his eyes on the independent scene. Sadly, various neck and shoulder issues have built up over time, and there's a chance that he may never be able to wrestle again. That's ultimately depressing. In May, 2015, Bryan was forced to vacate the WWE Intercontinental Title on television. Looking solemn, the wrestler wasn't the only one upset. Fans were looking forward to seeing what Bryan could do with the belt, but reality decided to bite everyone hard. There are still fears that Daniel Bryan won't return to the ring, which would be a real shame for one of this generation's best.
