While doing promotional work for the season three premiere of WWE Total Divas, which airs on E! tonight at 9pm EST., Brie Bella revealed that her husband, Daniel Bryan, will not need a second surgery as was originally expected.

Bella noted that Bryan is currently going through extensive rehab and is starting to slowly gain back strength in his right arm.

As things stand right now, there is currently no exact timetable for Bryan’s return to WWE, however company officials are hoping he’ll be back by the end of the year.

That said, we’ve heard that WWE creative has been told not to factor Daniel Bryan into their storyline plans. The outlook for his eventual return is much better than it was just two weeks ago, when there were fears that Bryan might have wrestled his last match.
