Daniel Bryan's been wrestling for 15 years now and the issue with his neck is, to my knowledge, the most serious injury he's sustained. I've no idea how long he'll be on the shelf as I've read reports that suggest he could potentially recover in time to be part of Payback to being out for as long as 3 months. Bryan's known for wrestling a pretty high paced, physical style in WWE and while he also employed that sort of style while on the indie circuit, Bryan was much more well known for his technical expertise; it's something we've really only seen a fraction of since he's been in WWE.
As a result of the issue regarding his neck, I find myself wondering if his style will be altered to any appreciable degree; cutting back on some of the high impact stuff. In some of the initial reports concerning his injury, there were claims that Bryan's diving headbutt on Kane at Extreme Rules may have aggravated the injury. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but it hasn't been a topic that I've seen mentioned beyond those initial reports, so I'm leaning towards no. Later reports state that the injury is just something that's accumulated over the course of his career and that no single incident caused it. Considering WWE's concern in regards to talent suffering any degree of head trauma, I'm a little surprised that they allowed Bryan to use the move at all. It was one of Chris Benoit's biggest spots and is believed to have caused some of his head trauma; however, Bryan does use his hands to brace himself when he lands where as it was pretty common for Benoit to let his head connect full on with the guy's shoulder without using his arms as a brace.
I could see Bryan possibly leaving out the diving headbutt in the future, though I don't think he'll alter or change very much about his style. While it'd be cool to see Bryan employ more of his technical skill and submission holds, a lot of fans just aren't into it. After all, whenever we see the action slow down sometimes in matches, the audience will start up with the "JBL" or "Jerry" chants or something along those lines.
