WWE.com has learned that Daniel Bryan is medically unable to compete tonight at WWE Extreme Rules. Therefore, there will be no Intercontinental Championship defense.

How will this breaking news affect the Intercontinental Championship picture? Stay with WWE.com all night long for updates as this story develops.

Meanwhile, WWE.com has also learned that Bad News Barrett, Daniel Bryan’s original opponent, will now face Neville in the WWE Extreme Rules Kickoff at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, available for free on WWE.com, the WWE App, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, Pheed and the award-winning WWE Network.

So I assume this mean the tag match is getting bumped to the main card.

This sucks for Bryan, but hopefully he can recover fast enough to not be stripped (again) of the title he just won at 'Mania.
