6. Daniel Bryan Determined To Prove Doctors Wrong

Another huge moment from Monday's Raw broadcast occurred when Daniel Bryan walked down the aisle, stepped foot in the ring and then left a lot of tears in the eyes of ringsiders by vacating his Intercontinental Title. This isn't the first time that fans have watched injury derail Bryan's career, but given that he's one of the most-beloved talents around, people tend to take it personally. Suffering from various neck and arm injuries, Bryan - at only 34 years old - faces the very real prospect of not being able to perform at the level he's accustomed to. Make no mistake about it, that emotion the wrestler showed on Monday Night Raw was genuine, because if there's one thing the guy loves to do, it's perform as a professional wrestler. Following Raw, Bryan said during media interviews that he's determined to prove the doctors wrong about not wrestling much, if at all, in the future. Nonetheless, WWE must surely have a role for the man should he be unable to wrestle - as one of the best performer sunder contract, there's a lot that Bryan could teach fledgling stars of the future, either in NXT or at the WWE Performance Center, but is it too soon to be writing off an in-ring return?
