Daniel Bryan has had a rough time battling injuries over the past year. He most recently relinquished his Intercontinental Title, citing worrisome MRI results as the reason.
So when an interview transcript where he said he was retiring was floating around, people thought it was real. The alleged quote that's from Washington's 92.7 KGHO said:
For those waiting for my return I appreciate it but let’s focus on what’s going on right now. I’ve had my time and it’s over so it seems but there’s an abundance of talent on the main roster for them to pay attention too. Just let it go.
Not the case. Bryan took to Twitter to say that interview is fake and that he will return to the ring.
I appreciate all the thank yous, but the entire interview claiming that I said my time is over is a fake. I will be back wrestling.
Of course, here's the appropriate reaction to the news.

The question is when. Last year, Bryan was battling a neck injury that took strength away from his right arm. That problem has been fixed, but the question now is if Bryan has been away long enough to stay healthy when he does get back within the ropes.
