Pro Wrestler Daniel Bryan Announces His Retirement From WWE

The 34years old WWE star Daniel Bryan, who is married to Brie Bella, announced his retirement from the sport on Monday via Twitter.

The former World Heavyweight Champion had been on a medical leave from WWE for almost a year since April 2015 for a concussion-related injury and was unsure if he would ever be able to compete again. He also previously underwent neck surgery in May 2014. He wrote this on his twitter account “Due to medical reasons, effective immediately, I am announcing my retirement. Tonight on Raw, I'll have a chance to elaborate. #gratitude”

The disappointing news of Bryan's departure from WWE comes on the heels of sister-in-law Nikki Bella's announcement that she might not be able to return to the ring herself after undergoing a bone fusion procedure in her neck two weeks ago. While Nikki's surgery was a success and she continues to recover, the future of her wrestling career still remains unclear.
