There’s nothing confirmed, so take this as a rumor for now. there has been a lot of talk backstage that Daniel Bryan will be vacating the Intercontinental Title if he is not cleared this week to return to the ring.
As previously reported, Bryan is currently scheduled for both Raw and WWE Payback. While it would be assumed that he would be competing at Payback, there are of course other possibilities that don’t involve in-ring action.
