Daniel Bryan is currently on the shelf, recuperating from shoulder surgery. The leader of The Yes Movement underwent the procedure back in May of 2014 and since then has been out of action.
While many fans are likely ready to see Bryan come back, the truth is that the former WWE world heavyweight champion appears to be no closer to returning than he was before.
This is not good news for fans or WWE itself as it was surely anticipating Bryan's return in the very near future. And as the company forges ahead without him, the truth is that it definitely misses Bryan's high energy.
Bryan's meteoric rise to the top of WWE began at SummerSlam in 2013. It was on that night that Bryan pinned John Cena to become the new WWE champion. However, his celebration was cut short by Triple H, who shockingly betrayed him in the middle of the ring.
That act opened the door for Randy Orton to cash in his Money in the Bank contract, and when he did, he became the new champion.
This was the birth of The Authority, the group that rose to power overnight and has run WWE programming since then. Led by Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, The Authority is WWE's corporate heel entity. No one has been able to shut them down, and no one has been able to even slow them down.
This includes Bryan, who spent the better part of the next eight months fighting an uphill battle for respect in the company.
Every time he got close to realizing his championship dreams once again, Bryan was almost immediately stopped. The Authority sought to prevent Bryan from going any higher, and they were successful for a long time. Bryan could seemingly not make any forward progress at all during that time.
However, Bryan was getting over with the crowd. WWE fans embraced him as one of their own and wanted desperately to see him win. The fact that he was fighting against Triple H's group did nothing but help him, as fans had a new hero to cheer for every time The Authority made its presence known.
Bryan was becoming WWE's newest antihero, and the crowd could not get enough of him.
Bryan's run to the top of course culminated at WrestleMania 30, where he defeated not only Triple H but Orton and Batista. Those wins brought him the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and surely earned him the respect of every fan that believed in him from day one.
