According to a report from The Wrestling Observer, current SmackDown LIVE General Manager and former Intercontinental and WWE Champion Daniel Bryan has still not been medically cleared by WWE officials to return to the ring.
There has been some recent speculation that Bryan would somehow be involved in the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match at this coming Sunday night's Royal Rumble event, even suggesting that Bryan could possibly win the match without actually taking a bump in the ring.
Since Bryan still has not been medically cleared, this would mean that if that scenario actually happened, he would still be unable to compete for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 34. The feeling among many regarding this is that a Royal Rumble Match win by Bryan would, therefore, devalue the overall purpose of the individual who wins the match.
