As usual, whenever a wrestler is out hurt the rumors start flying. Daniel Bryan, one of the most popular wrestlers of the current era, has been out since May. He had to have neck surgery after a botched tombstone piledriver from Kane. Now, he may need additional surgeries. So why was he on the schedule for WWE's European tour in November? Either they expected him to be able to wrestle by then, or they wanted him to go even if he could wrestle. Either way, the semantics of the advertisements keep changing, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Bryan's current health status is in question, but don't worry, because his travel plans aren't clear either. Even if he went just to do appearances and media, WWE aren't saying yet whether he is going (via Cage Side Seats):
"Daniel Bryan has been pulled from advertisements for the upcoming European tour in November. That doesn't mean he won't make the trip, but WWE is playing it safe right now. There's still too much uncertainty regarding his condition and future in pro wrestling."
The dirt sheets, as usual, offer no helpful insight, but rather pointless speculation from so-called insiders (via Wrestling Inc.):
"Bryan being pulled from the tour could be a sign that he has received an update from doctors and will need another round of surgery. That has not been confirmed yet."
Until there is official word from WWE, there really is no story. It would actually be pretty rad to see Bryan on American TV. The Goat has been gone too long, and even if he can't wrestle, it'd be nice for him to come out and cut a dang promo once in a while.
