Details are still sketchy due to the fact that WWE RAW is being taped this week in London, England, but it turns out Stephanie McMahon did not officially strip Daniel Bryan of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, despite our previous report to the contrary.
According to a live fan report, Stephanie absolutely hinted at stripping Bryan of the title, but ultimately did not do so. She did, however, request that Bryan be at RAW live next week to relinquish the title if he is physically unable to fulfill his commitments as champion.
Basically, it appears that they still don’t know how long he’ll be out and are giving it until next week to know whether or not they are going to have to take the title off of him.
A full RAW spoiler report is available right now on the main page.
