WWE Rumors: Daniel Bryan's Return, Wyatt Family and Ryback's Comeback

The latest round of WWE spoilers and rumors deal with the beloved Daniel Bryan, the Wyatt Family and Ryback's return to television, so let's dive right in and get to the reports.

Firstly, those of you who read spoilers for Friday Night SmackDown this week know that Big Show started the show with a promo to inform the crowd that Daniel Bryan might need another surgery and that the locker room needs him to return as soon as possible. It was a curious segment, and it sparked renewed talk of what may happen with the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

Bryan has said he wants to be back in time for WrestleMania 31 and wants to compete at the year's biggest pay-per-view, but WWE is reportedly operating under the assumption that there is no timetable for his return and, even worse, that he may never return again. The rumor is he might require a major elbow surgery, which would keep him on the shelf indefinitely and possibly for good. Of course, these are all just swirling rumors at this point, so take them as such. And keep in mind that as disappointing as the news may be, the most important thing is the health and longevity of Bryan Danielson.

Next, Ryback, aka DA BIG GUY, made his return to WWE television on Monday Night Raw this week when he squashed Bo Dallas. He was a heel when he went off TV due to injury, but he has reportedly come back as a babyface because the company thinks the roster is currently lacking in that department.

Finally, John Cena is actually not advertised for Raw next week in Buffalo, but Luke Harper and Erick Rowan are. We'll have to wait and see if they return as new characters altogether, as the same characters without Bray Wyatt (and each other, most likely), or as the same characters still linked to Bray.
