Update: Daniel Bryan declared Friday on Twitter: "I will be back wrestling."

Following up on a transcription of a radio interview, Bryan tweeted: "I appreciate all the thank yous, but the entire interview claiming that I said my time is over is a fake. I will be back wrestling."

The quote transcribed purported to be from a radio interview with 92.7 KGHO read: "Tough Enough is pretty easy. They fly me in, I go to the barracks, I sit down and we do a segment where I talk to them. It's quick, straight to the point and once I am done, I'm flown back home. It's easy and I love it. Especially with the position that I am in. Battleground? I'm not sure. To be quite honest I don't really have time for the current product apart from NXT; fans should focus on what's important and not hold on to my name. That's in reference to them still acknowledging me. I only do Tough Enough and Tough Enough should be about Tough Enough and not me. It's about those young men and women who want a future in this company. For those waiting for my return I appreciate it but let's focus on what's going on right now. I've had my time and it's over so it seems but there's an abundance of talent on the main roster for them to pay attention too. Just let it go."

The context appeared to be that Bryan was frustrated by fans clinging to his WrestleMania Run last year and expecting him to return to the same position as before.

Earlier this month, Bryan's wife, Brie Bella, said during "Total Divas" media interviews that she believes Bryan's career is not over. She said she's watched Bryan train as hard as possible to get back in the ring, but he needs "a lot of prayers" going through the rehab process following neck surgery last year and reportedly a serious concussion earlier this year.
