Daniel Bryan took to Twitter on Monday, hours before his wife, Brie, will make her first appearance since partnering with Nikki and Natalya against the Riott Squad in a tag match that led to Liv Morgan suffering a concussion on a Yes! kick to the head.

Thank you to the many people who reached out to support her, both publicly and privately. We all wish Liv Morgan a speedy recovery. #EndCyberbullying
