That's when it was revealed that four-time World Champion Daniel Bryan had been medically cleared for an in-ring return.
The stunning announcement inspired reactions from Bryan's peers, colleagues and even a few old enemies.

I couldn’t be happier for Daniel. Being away for two years must have felt like an eternity...but today, he’s back and where he belongs. https://t.co/HNtSw1RwKI

This may be a first in all of professional sports. So stoked for Bryan and for what it could mean for head trauma research and rehabilitation in contact athletics. https://t.co/g3nnD11wVM
