Daniel Bryan appeared via phone call today on Sports Illustrated Now today. Bryan was on the show to talk about how the "yes!" chant is at almost every sporting event these days.

The new Sports Illustrated cover features the San Francisco Giants celebrating their World Series win and the headline reads, "Yes! Yes! Yes!" The cover will be featured on RAW tonight.

Bryan talked about his injury and how slow the recovery has been. He said he's not sure what to do with his free time because this is the first time he's been out of the ring for this long since he began his career.

Bryan said he feels fine but still has a lot of weakness in his right hand. He talked about how having a weak hand is dangerous for he and his opponents. Bryan said he's not in pain but they can't figure out how to get his strength back.

Bryan was asked about WrestleMania 31 and said he will be heartbroken if he can't compete. Bryan said they are hoping he will be ready for WrestleMania 31 but he will be disappointed if he's not able to perform.
