The word publicly on Daniel Bryan (as noted already) is that his surgery is a minor surgery. We also noted that there are people in the company concerend about him. The concern is because of his style, number of concussions and the feeling is that a number of people should have seen this coming since he does the diving headbutt.
Someone in the company has said that this neck surgery may be serious and the news tomorrow may not be as good as originally thought. It’s very possible that he could be out much longer and the minor surgery story may not be exactly what is going on. Right now everything is just speculation but it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he could be out 3 months, 6 months, or even a year.
The original plans were to not strip him of the title but that all can change with tomorrow’s news from the doctor. Big Show will be replacing Daniel Bryan on the European tour.
