Former WWE champion Daniel Bryan has been missing from weekly wrestling shows since his heartbreaking retirement in February, but WWE announced Wednesday that Bryan is coming back to ringside to be a part of the upcoming Cruiserweight Classic - a tournament featuring 32 of the best cruiserweights from around the world.
Bryan will call the action alongside SmackDown announcer Mauro Ranallo. The tournament will be broadcast on the WWE Network beginning July 13th, and will air each Wednesday leading up to a live two-hour finale September 14th.
