Daniel Bryan out until Extreme Rules

News from WWE headquarters is that Daniel Bryan won’t wrestle again until his match against Kane at the Extreme Rules PPV. Bryan will take the time off to settle family matters with the passing of his father on Monday. He could make a few appearances on Raw here or there, but he won’t see any in-ring action and will sell an injury after Kane’s brutal attack.

Bryan’s father was only in his mid-50s and his death was incredibly sudden. Nikki Bella, Bryan’s sister-in-law, tweeted the following about his dad on Monday night.

“I’m very sad & proud of my brother in law @WWEDanielBryan His Father was a kind, generous, sweet man and was so very humble. If you met him you knew the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Bryan definitely has his energy. Tonight he stood there not only for all of you, but for the memory of his father. He will always be remember. RIP Bud”

Our condolences go out to Daniel and the entire Bryan family.
