7 Ways To Heat Up WWE In John Cena's Absence
1. Clear Daniel Bryan
With a recent Daniel Bryan interview saying he's going for a third opinion on his concussion issues, the door is wide open for his return, and he could go straight to the top upon his arrival. It wouldn't be the first time Bryan carried WWE in Cena's absence.
The timing of this third appointment is all too coincidental. Had Cena not been heading away for some time, who knows if WWE even gets the ball rolling on trying to bring back Bryan, but as long as there is effort being made to get him back in the fold, that's all we can ask for.
Bryan has been cleared for months by his own personal doctor, and seems pretty irritated by how WWE's medical staff won't let him return to the ring.
Not only would Daniel Bryan's return heat up WWE by giving them a truly over babyface that would elevate any heel he faced, fans will follow Bryan wherever he goes. With Smackdown relaunching on the USA Network in January, this is the perfect chance to use him there, and bring him to Raw for certain big angles.
Bryan's injuries since WrestleMania XXX have been unfortunate, but some would say WWE is being too overprotective with him. With John Cena not available, perhaps this is the time to get Daniel Bryan rolling again (as long as they aren't reckless with him).
