A new report suggests that Daniel Bryan needs a second surgery to correct problems. Deadspin's David Shoemaker posted on twitter that Bryan would need Tommy John Surgery that would require 3 months rehab.
Bryan has previously said that he has more arm strength loss than they expected and could require another surgery, so this may confirm it. Tommy John surgery is a UCL reconstruction most commonly done on pitchers due to their use of a particular muscle group. However, the average rehab time for Tommy John surgery is a year, with elbow exercises not able to begin until over a month into the recovery. Thus, whether Shoemaker's report of the recovery time is accurate or not isn't certain.
All of this has been real bad for Bryan after months of building up to his title run. Hopefully all of this time off doesn't kill his momentum.
