WWE News: Daniel Bryan's Return Dependent On Vince McMahon; New List Of Potential Opponents For The Undertaker
The future of former World Wrestling Entertainment heavyweight champion and world champion Daniel Bryan apparently lies in Vince McMahon's hands.
Bryan last saw action during the May 11th episode of Monday Night RAW. Since then, he has been out of action due to an injury which was revealed, in July of the past year, to be concussion-related.
He did get a clearance from his doctors at UCLA to get back in the ring, which had many speculating that he would be making his return at the recently concluded Royal Rumble event last January 24.

In a report by Sean Rueter for Cageside Seats, Bryan had consulted WWE head honcho Vince McMahon regarding his next immediate career move. McMahon had purportedly responded by saying that he "probably wouldn't wrestle again," but is not closing the doors on a possibility of a return.
"The more time passes, the more likely it seems that we've seen the last of Daniel Bryan in a WWE ring. Whether that's a good thing or not likely depends on information we'll never know," an excerpt of Rueter's report reads.
Prior to the lengthy hiatus that he is currently on, Bryan held the WWE Intercontinental title. He was forced to drop the said title after he was deemed unable to compete.
Meanwhile, a shortlist of possible opponents for the Undertaker's WrestleMania 32 appearance has been spotted. According to another report by Geno Mrosko for Cageside Seats, the growing list of injuries among the WWE's top superstars has left a limited list of options.
But nonetheless, some names were placed for possible scenarios. The list includes the names of Chris Jericho, Alberto Del Rio, Luke Harper, Dean Ambrose, newcomer AJ Styles, Rusev, Kane, and Sheamus, just to name a few. According to a Wrestlezone report, there are some who say that there are plans to have Braun Strowman face the Undertaker at the event.
WrestleMania32 is slated to take place on April 3 at the AT&T Center in Arlington, Texas.
