As said at the top of the article, this article would not include unscripted retirements in this list. The WWE doesn't have any control over life-threatening injuries that cause some of the WWE Universe's favourite wrestlers to retire and step away from the game.

When Bryan retired, he made no secret of how much he wanted to be able to step back into the ring and compete again. It was clear that his decision was made with the consideration of the company and with his young family in mind.

However, the set back that would have kept others permanently away from the ring didn't stop Bryan for searching for other options.

Bryan made no secret of his search to get cleared, For months, Bryan sought out doctor after doctor in the hope of getting back into the ring. Finally, on March 20th, 2018, WWE.com announced that Daniel Bryan had been cleared by the WWE doctors to return to the ring.

The Smackdown after the announcement was an emotional affair. Bryan thanked the fans for being behind him and for his family for supporting his decision.

He then launched into an inspiring speech about fighting for your dreams. Bryan teared up during the speech and there were several fans in the audience that also found their eyes getting a little wet.
