Daniel Bryan's health could put his Intercontinental Championship defense against Bad News Barrett at Extreme Rules this Sunday in jeopardy.
5 Best WWE Moments In AJ Lee's Career
The WWE pulled Bryan from its European tour last week amid concerns over his health and they've kept him out of the ring on WWE television lately, aside from a tag team match alongside John Cena on last week's SmackDown.
Michael Cole and JBL noted this week on Monday Night RAW that Bryan's defense against Barrett at Extreme Rules live from the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill. on Sunday could be in jeopardy.

Bryan's health issues reportedly have something to do with the neck injury that caused him to miss most of 2014 after he underwent surgery and subsequently lost feeling in his right arm.
The WWE still has the bout listed for Sunday's show, but things could change.
The organization also added a change to the Divas Championship bout as Naomi will now battle Nikki Bella following her heel turn last week, which led to her attacking Paige to write her off of television so that she can go film a movie.
It was also revealed that on the pre-show, The New Day will take on Cesaro and Tyson Kidd for the WWE Tag Team Championships and that Dean Ambrose and Luke Harper will battle it out in a Chicago Street Fight.
Extreme Rules is headlined by a WWE World Heavyweight Championship Steel Cage match pitting title-holder Seth Rollins against Randy Orton. The RKO is also banned in the match while it was revealed on RAW that Kane will be the guardian of the gate.
In another title clash, Cena will go head-to-head with Rusev in a Russian Chain Match.
Rounding out the card is a Last Man Standing match between Roman Reigns and The Big Show and a Kiss Me Arse bout pitting Sheamus and Dolph Ziggler against each other.
