Daniel Bryan’s Career Not Over? Brie Bella’s Perspective
There are some who believe that Daniel Bryan’s in-ring wrestling career is over, one of those is WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart, whose career ended in the ring. Hart believes Bryan’s career is over and Bryan doesn’t know it yet.
Bryan’s wife, Brie Bella, believes Bryan will get back in the ring. She believes it’s because “my husband is stronger than any man I have ever met.”
In an interview with BBC promoting the new season of “Total Divas,” Brie said there have been “some very positive things in his recovery.” She didn’t go into specifics.
Brie added, “He has such a fight in him so I feel you will see him back in that ring. I know my husband’s dreams. Granted, he’s done so much in the wrestling business – and it’s not over forever – but it’s not supposed to end this way.”
Brie said they talk daily about his recovery and desire to wrestle again. Bryan went through a neck/shoulder injury in 2014 and has reportedly experienced a concussion related issue this year to go with several concussion injuries pre-WWE.
“He needs a lot of prayers. We talk about this daily and he will get back in that ring. That is his goal and I believe in him. I really do,” Brie said.
