Or they're doing this because AJ Styles is really injured and Daniel inserts himself in the title match somehow.

Oh gently caress now I need to see Bryan vs Nakamura more than anything. Also, Bryan going back on the not cleared list after taking a knee to the head :smith:

I don't get people thinking he shouldn't wrestle anymore when at this point he probably has the healthiest brain on the roster.

If he's healthy, more power to him, although I hope he takes this opportunity to cut some of the more concussion-prone stuff like the diving headbutt out of his style just to be safe.

tbh while they’re both in WWE I’d love to see Bryan bringing over Gran Metalik to Smackdown and wrestling a great match with him

alternatively, since Ally Black’s gonna be the NXT Champion by Wrestlemania, Almas’ top priority should be to beat Daniel Bryan while he’s still good

e: also, since the US title always changed hands in a triple threat, there is a 100% chance that Randy will lose at Wrestlemania and that is good

From everything we know about Danielson he’s crazy enough to put his foot down about it but idk if I’d trust talk abt NJPW waiting in the wings to make him the ace of a US expansion, or whatever. Hard to differentiate it from fantasy booking.

Otoh WWE brass has been driven to weird lengths by perceived competition, real or imagined, before. So who knows.

I get the impression that he's savvy enough to lean into those rumors a leverage to get a better deal with WWE, where he's cool with staying.

Heyman's plan when TNA offered him the book was to have Bryan (he'd just been let go) annihilate everyone in around that time until he faced Angle, then they'd go super long

Related story, PWG booked Danielson vs Angle and even booked a somewhat larger venue, then TNA pulled Angle

I genuinely didn't know what the word was on the night. And I was too lazy to look it up. So I asked internally. The Dijack/Ricochet NXT taping match was a dark match main event. It won't air on TV.

Shane's starting the tag match, they spend the whole match with Shane getting his rear end kicked, building to the most nuclear hot tag you've ever heard.....and Bryan jumps off the apron and turns on Shane.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
This whole story is confusing as gently caress to me because Shane and Daniel Bryan were at odds for months and suddenly Daniel is cleared to wrestle again so we're going to get a really half-assed story for like two weeks on Smackdown about how they've gotten on the same page and must take out these evil heels who are only acting like a prick to Shane because he was actively also loving them over.

I guess in kayfabe Daniel Bryan is just happy to fight anyone

Not by his own power (there’s a 99.9% chance Bryan makes Sami tap out to the Yes Lock) but yeah, this’ll be Shane’s first win in, what, ten years?

OFFICIAL RACIST
For those interested, 5dimes has their odds up for a bunch of matches at Wrestlemania. Note, all of these are END OF BROADCAST rulings, meaning these people are favored to walk out of Wrestlemania as the winner and still the title holder (really this is only important for Nia Jax/Alexa Bliss and Asuka/Charlotte, but whatever). Just a friendly reminder that whoever has the negative number is the favorite, and I listed the favored person first.

Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar:

Roman Reigns: -1050
Brock Lesnar: +550

AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura:

Shinsuke Nakamura: -180
AJ Styles: +140

The Miz vs Finn Balor vs Seth Rollins:

The Field: -135
Finn Balor: -105

Bobby Roode vs Jinder Mahal vs Randy Orton:

The Field: -150
Jinder Mahal: +110

Alexa Bliss vs Nia Jax:

Nia Jax: -320
Alexa Bliss: +240

Charlotte Flair vs Asuka:

Asuka: -530
Charlotte Flair: +350

Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey vs Triple H and Stephanie:

Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey: -750
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon: +450

Women's Wrestlemania Battle Royal:

The Field: -160
Sasha Banks: +120

For those who want to keep track of the odds yourself, you can do so! Go here: https://www.5dimes.eu/livelines/livelines.aspx and then click on the Pro Wrestling box on the sidebar (it's under 'Other Sports').

Number 10 is still tye dillinger.

It's still his only appearance on the show.


Also I'd mark out real hard if they run the Sting/Flair tag match with Shane/Bryan.

I don't think they have to be the champ at end of broadcast so long as the cash in is a separate match. Like if Nia wins the title and then loses it immediately in an impromptu cash-in match, at the end of the broadcast she would still be considered the winner of Nia vs Alexa.
