According to the recent Observer newsletter, the video going around the net of Bryan having a seizure during a Sheamus vs Bryan match might not have been a real seizure and just Bryan over-selling. His last known or documented seizure was around 4 years ago and the WWE was more concerned he got legit injured from the match. WWE was also worried 8 months later he was still showing serious injury signs from the match.
Also confirmed the WWE didn't force him to make a retirement decision but did approve of him taking more tests likely to get the results they needed to prove their side of the argument.
In non-Observer stuff, it was rumored for a long time the WWE wanted him to retire from active wrestling and had no desire to ever medically pass him due to political reasons (ex. interrupt their Mania plans again). The head doctor of the WWE does have some shady history from his NFL time where he would do whatever his team wanted regardless of players' health. Several known instances where he cleared players with legit concussions because the team needed those players for upcoming games.
