WWE officials were reportedly hopeful prior to Monday's WWE Raw that Daniel Bryan would be cleared to return to the ring to defend the Intercontinental Championship against King Barrett at this Sunday at the Payback pay-per-view however, Bryan's MRI results determined that there was no way he could get back into the ring any time soon, if ever again.
WWE officials are said to be frustrated as they want the best for Bryan but also want him working for the company as he is involved in a number of big projects for them such as his upcoming DVD and Book.
The mindset is now switching to how could they use Bryan in a non-wrestling position.Â
Bryan is still determined to do all he can to get back in the ring and some have wondered if he will get the surgery that he was reluctant to have at the end of last year.
