8 Lessons WWE Should Learn From Daniel Bryan's Latest Injury

3. Don't Rely On A Wrestler Fresh Off Of Injury To Carry The Workload

Upon returning from his neck injury in December 2014, Daniel Bryan was thrust right back into the heat of things, appearing on Raw and SmackDown regularly, with no real opportunity to ease back into things. He feuded with Kane, wrestling in a much-hyped Casket match on SmackDown, before segueing into a program with Roman Reigns that led to a huge pay-per-view clash between them at Fastlane. From there he was part of the huge Ladder match for the intercontinental championship at WrestleMania 31, a contest the concluded with barrage of headbutts from the Aberdeen, Washington, native to Dolph Ziggler. The point is, Daniel Bryan wrestled A LOT following his return from injury. Considering the fact that he went from a state of immobility following his surgical procedure to hitting the road to compete as one of the bigger draws in the company, it was probably far too much, far too soon. Perhaps hiding Bryan in tag matches or asking him to do less when he finally does return will better suit him and his health for the time being, leaving singles performances for pay-per-view while also changing the way WWE Creative crafts stories and, possibly, freshening up Raw and SmackDown in the process.
