Ever since he went down with an injury last year, fans have openly speculated to each other, in chatrooms, on social media and even on this site that Daniel Bryan will soon return to action. Look, lets say this pretty clearly: Daniel Bryan is not coming back before WrestleMania. At least, if he does, it would make zero sense. The only way that would happen is if Bryan is suddenly going to be booked to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. If WWE were foolish enough to bring him back now (regardless of the fact that Raw is in Seattle this week), the company would run the risk of overshadowing everything else and instantly tanking Reigns run at the top of the card. (Last year, fans nearly revolted at the Royal Rumble because of Bryans elimination, and they never bought into Roman.) After having said all that, rumors are rumors, and the only way for them to go away is for something definitive to happen, either through action or inaction (the passage of time). And despite the logic and reasoning presented in why these rumors should stop, weve seen WWE go completely against logic time and time again.
Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
