Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan was the special pre-show guest prior to tonight's WWE Money in the Bank PPV. When asked by Michael Cole when he is expected to be back in action, Bryan had some bad news for his loyal fans.

"I don't know when I'm going to be back. The strength hasn't come back to my arm, and they're talking about maybe doing another surgery. But I promise I will be back, and when I am I will be better than ever."

While we can not yet confirm whether a second surgery is a real possibility, or the entire thing was a "work" to keep Bryan in the back of people's head, it certainly doesn't look like he'll be back on a full-time basis in the near future.
