Last Tuesday should have been one of the happiest days of Daniel Bryan’s life after he was cleared to return to in-ring competition, but the night ended with the former WWE Champion being taken out of the arena on a stretcher. After being fired by Bryan for their heinous attack on Shane McMahon, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn brutally attacked the leader of The “Yes!” Movement, ruining the historic night.
