I have a theory (and this may be out there) that he has already been cleared and will be returning to competition.
My reasoning behind this is based on two things:
1. Daniel stated in a recent interview that there is a 20% chance WWE will clear him. I like those odds.
2. This to me is the most compelling. They recently allowed him to referee a match. While this is not the same as wrestling, it is physical with the possibility of injury and from what i previously thought, he was not allowed to do anything physical, just play his GM role.
What do you guys think? And yeah even if they don't allow him to wrestle we will almost certainly go somewhere else once his contract is up.
