Bryan explains that he has suffered from many concussions during his 16 year professional wrestling career, that began with 3 concussions in the first several months he wrestled. "I have loved this in a way that I have never loved anything else," explains an emotional Daniel Bryan. Bryan informs the WWE Universe that a test he took 1.5 weeks ago showed that his brain wasn't doing as well as he thought it was. He explained that he had a family and wanted kids soon. As the crowd chants, "Yes! Yes! Yes!," Bryan quips, "That's what Brie says all the time." Bryan gets serious, "It is with a heavy heart and the utmost sadness that I officially announce my retirement. When I wake up this morning I felt nothing but gratitude because I have gotten to do what I love for nearly 16 years." Bryan goes on to reminisce about the times he had in wrestling including a special time in that very building, the last time his father ever saw him wrestle. Bryan acknowledges Kane, William Regal, his mother and sister at ring-side, even the late Connor Michalek. He asks the crowd to join him in one more Yes! chant & as they do, his music hits one last time. Brie Bella joins him for an embrace in the ring as RAW goes off the air.
