Daniel Bryan's surgery was a 'huge success'

Daniel Bryan with his doctor post-surgery

Daniel Bryan was set to undergo surgery for his neck yesterday and it seems like everything went smoothly.

His wife, Brie Bella tweeted this a while back -

WWE also released a statement on their website:

After being diagnosed with the nerve issue in his neck by WWE physician Dr. Chris Amann, Bryan underwent a procedure known as a cervical foraminotomy to decompress the nerve root. The surgery was performed by world-renowned neurosurgeon and sports medicine expert Dr. Joseph Maroon. WWE.com was not able to get an official timetable for Daniel Bryan’s return, but can confirm that the WWE World Heavyweight Champion is out of surgery and doing well, with strength already returning to his hands.

Sooo grateful @WWEDanielBryan surgery went great! Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts!! Xxoo
