With an injury as severe as this, where he basically tore everything he possibly could in his knee in that circumstance, it's entirely possible he's never quite the same again athletically.

Nah, surgery has gotten really good these days.
It would be in your best interest to watch every Raw and PPV from January 1997 to April 2001. Just saying
But you know what? That's good storytelling. It might be predictable, but they could use some good storytelling right about now. It makes sense for every character if Reigns turns and joins the Authority now that Seth is gone.
Of course the BEST story telling would be something that's unpredictable but also makes total sense, like Survivor Series 98. But considering how awful everything has been for, well, the last 5 years, a Reigns heel turn would be one of the best moments in years, if pulled off correctly.
Best of all, he could take the Rock route and become a mega over babyface in a year or two if done right, too.

Thems are some Adam Rose-tinted glasses, fella. Most of 1999 was horrible.

It doesn't matter how good surgery is. Even if you assume the probability of a physical block is zero, that says nothing of a possible mental block.

So it actually does matter
This is true. Instead of watching WWF 1999, switch to ECW 1999.

No, it doesn't. You said there is no possibility that he'll be lesser when he returns because surgery is too good. I'm saying the surgery being good is irrelevant because it's not necessarily what could cause him issues.

Stop telling people that Punk is injured. He doesn't like people spreading around info about him.

Does he?
Ok if he isn't injured why hasn't he announced his fight yet?
Dude is going to be 40 by the time he fights for the first time and he's probably going to be in a fight that makes Shamrock-Slice look like a shoot.
I feel like every time I see his posts its him bad mouthing WWE (Which may be completely justified if everything he says is true), congratulating anyone with ROH tenure, or verbally beating down some fan.

Wait, the Brock Lesnar Guy is just an actual fan?
I always thought he was just a plant. You know, as opposed to a crazed WWE fan with more money than sense.

Oh he's definitely hurt (or was), but I remember him going on Helwani's show and saying how he didn't like that people were reporting that he got hurt. Which is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

And why would I want them?
hmm, wonder who will be in the tourney. taking a guess it'll look like:
Reigns
Bray Wyatt
KO
Cesaro
Big E
Ambrose
Ziggler
Breeze
Don't think Lesnar is going to participate

He's going to hit it all the time when he comes back as a face. Can't use the curb stomp anymore, can't use the Pedigree as a face, can't use God's Last Gift in WWE.
Either that, or he'll get the Overdrive as his post-injury finisher.
Regardless of how creative has used him he is a work horse.

Let Bret have one last run
Austin finally gets his win vs Bret all of these years later.

Didn't Bryan say on the latest Roberts' podcast appearance he's perfectly fine but WWE couldn't find a suitable spot where to sneak him in without burning his return?
With a gimmick of just how disappointed he is with everyone constantly. Except Kevin Owens, who will be his life partner.
Man, with Seth out and Cena taking time off it'll be an interesting few months. Wonder if Vince will ask Cena to come back early.

He's just a fan. I saw him buying scalped tickets for the Raw after WM last year when I was in line to get in.

This honestly would be the perfect place to slide Bryan back in if he's good to go. Have Reigns get taken out by some cheating heel, have Bryan win, have Sheamus cash in, have Sheamus crush Bryan for a month, have Reigns win the strap at Royal Rumble, have Brock win the Rumble, have Reigns' coronation be him defeating The Beast and cementing himself as the true top dog in the company.

Well its not a secret Bryan believes he is fine to return.
The situation is the WWE doctor won't clear him due to his concussions and the law suits. Another doctor has cleared him.
So Bryan and WWE were going to see a 3rd doctor to see what his fate is.
Not sure that has happened yet. He is in India right now.

Why would there be a tournament? Raw, Steph and hunter breaks the news, Sheamus music hits, he cashes in, new champ, Reigns and Sheamus at Survivor Series or whatevers next.

More strikes and limb work from Bryan, less crazy running knees in the corner, tope suicidas and letting guys suplex him on the back of his neck.

I'd say put Bryan in a tag team, but the american main event hot tag style would do more harm than good
Lan Dong Mik
And why would I want them?
WWE confirmed it on their twitter there would be a tourney at SS to determine a new champ. Good point about Sheamus though, would he even get a spot in the tourney and just vacate the MITB should he win?
Thinking about it though it probably makes sense the only way to cash in would be against a fighting champ

I don't want to live in a world where Seth isn't champ because of an injury 😢
