As noted before, Big Show announced at this week's SmackDown tapings that Daniel Bryan will likely need another surgery. According to a WWE source, there is no timetable or storyline for his return. Also, there is no guarantee that he will be able to make a return to pro-wrestling ever.
Bryan possibly needing a Tommy John surgery was a hot topic within WWE. This surgery has a long recovery time but it's not confirmed that Big Show was referring to this at the tapings.
