Daniel Bryan Says WWE May Never Clear Him

Daniel Bryan appeared recently at the Wizard World Chicago event in Rosemont, Il. Bran talked about his future in WWE:

Bryan mde it clear that he has no idea when he will wrestle for WWE again or if he will ever wrestle for WWE again. He said the problem was concussion related dating back to April I think. A doctor who worked for the Super Bowl cleared him to wrestle, but WWE is being really careful with Bryan’s concussion history and is not ready and may never be ready to give him the green light to go back in the ring. Bryan said he’s training as if he is going to return, but the decision is not up to him. He mentioned that he could work SummerSlam this Sunday if WWE added him to the event. What he said definitely came off as that he is completely 100% healthy and the only reason why he’s not wrestling right now is because WWE won’t let him.

Conference Call With Triple H Regarding NXT 

It’s Thursday which means we are halfway through the week., and that means we are just THREE days away from NXT TAKEOVER IN BROOKLYN. What better way to get hyped for such an historic event then by listening to the conference call about that very event
http://wrestlingnews.co/audio-paul-triple-h-levesque-nxt-takeover-brooklyn-conference-call/

You can do so by clicking the link above. In this conference call HHH discussed numerous things. One of the things that stood out to me and even came as a surprise is that at first HHH was hesitant to hold the upcoming takeover event at the Barclays center. He was hesitant  because he knew the venue was bigger then any other venue NXT had ever  hosted however he decided to just roll with the punches and let things fall into place.

To his delight all 13,000 tickets sold without any problems. That’s right folks, the Barcly center will be jammed packed with 13,000 devoted members of the WWE universe this Saturday.

One of my favorite parts of the conference call was when he discussed the divas of NXT and the divas in general. He even got chocked up at one point saying he feels like a proud father to see how much the women of NXT have accomplished. He went on to say that yes him and Stephanie have given the women the opportunity but what they’ve done with it has been all them. He also says that he truly believes that one day we will see the women in the WWE main event a Wrestlemania. He said that every day he makes sure the girls are aware of that and continues to push them.

He also discussed the concern that has been brought up of “what happens when all the stars of NXT are called up to the main roster”? He is confident that when the time comes there will be no need to worry because he will continue to bring in talented men and women from all over the world, whether they’re from the indies or not. He says what he looks for is talent.

He also noted that this is indeed the largest card NXT has put on however the special will remain two hours. Not all matches will be shown this Saturday but will be shown in the upcoming week.

The full card can be seen here 

NXT Championship (Ladder Match)-Kevin Owens vs Finn Balor

If you haven’t heard this conference call it’s definitely worth 35 mins of your time, aside from the points I mentioned above there are some other really awesome points brought up.

Be sure to tune into NXT TAKEOVER BROOKLYN LIVE AND EXCLUSIVELY ON THE WWE NETWORK this Saturday beginning at 5pmPT/8pmET
