Brock LesnarThe crap storm about Hulk Hogan almost settled down this week.

The WWE Universe is still pretty much in shock about the death. Pipers legacy will live on forever no matter what.While fans were paying their tribute to the Hot Rod, the rumor mill was buzzing about some interesting speculations. There were talks about SummerSlam, random pushes and the future of other wrestling promotions. As usual, here is a rundown on them and the way in which they could impact the WWE landscape on the longer run.

#5 Daniel Bryan\'s status

Daniel Bryan

WWE is apparently cautious about Daniel Bryan. They dont want him back in the ring anytime soon but they are planning to keep him busy till then. There are rumors making the rounds about Bryan being fit by end of the year but nothing is confirmed.

Last week, the rumor mill came up with the idea of Bryan returning in time for Royal Rumble, which sounded like a horrible idea considering how Bryan was responsible for messing up the last two editions. As far as keeping him busy is concerned, WWE will continue using Bryan for Tough Enough and Total Divas. He might get an on-screen role as well till he is able to wrestle again.
