There’s no telling when WWE finally cleared Bryan to make his return, but the former WWE Champion has been hard at work since 2016 to prove he’s able to compete.
Bryan’s quest to return has been responsible for its own rumor mill with myths ranging from him winning the 2018 Royal Rumble to joining Cody Rhodes on the independent circuit.
However, it looks like the speculation will reach a new high as we try to figure exactly what WWE will do with the current SmackDown GM. If we had to guess, Bryan will find his way into the rivalry between Shane McMahon, Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens.
Now the biggest question is now if Daniel Bryan will ever return to WWE’s ring, but how active of a Superstar he can be. Will WWE be hyper-conservative with his matches? Will Bryan wrestle a different style? Will he remain SmackDown’s GM?
These are all questions that will be answered in time, starting with tonight’s episode of SmackDown.
