Fans of Daniel Bryan will be disappointed that the WWE wrestler won’t be heading to the UK’s O2 Arena next month as originally planned. Alongside The Undertaker, they were slated to be making an appearance for Smackdown. Bryan has also cancelled a number of appearances on the wrestling shows post-WrestleMania live event tour, as well as a tribute night at Madison Square Gardens.
A spokesperson for the WWE told Cageside Seats:
“Daniel Bryan requested time off and it was granted.”
It’s been a tough time for the star, who mere weeks ago had to announce his retirement from the show and wrestling:
“I’ve been wrestling since I was 18 years old, and within the first five months of my wrestling career, I’d already had three concussions. For years after that, I would get a concussion here and there, and then it gets to the point when you’ve been wrestling for 16 years, that adds up to a lot of concussions,”
“A week and a half ago, I took a test that said maybe my brain isn’t as okay as I thought it was. I have a family to think about; my wife [WWE Diva Brie Bella] and I want to start having kids soon.”
#Peace.Love.DanielBryan
