3) The Plans For Daniel Bryan’s Return To Smackdown
Even though there was some concern that Daniel Bryan was injured, news broke on Thursday that Bryan has been medically cleared to return.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer suggests that Bryan could be added to the WWE Championship match between Kofi Kingston and Kevin Owens. Here is a quote:
“He’ll probably get involved in the Kofi Kingston program as well. They may even switch that match to a three way. Tentatively on the European tour, they are doing a three way as the main event. So it may end up being a three way program.”
Could be a fun triple threat match.
2) A Change To The Superstar Shake-Up Next Year?
WWE has done a ‘Superstar Shake-Up’ for the past few years. The idea is to freshen things up without doing a full reboot of the rosters.
According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, WWE might be looking to rev things up next year. Here is a rumor that he passed along (via Ringside News):
“Somebody told me that somebody showed Vince the NFL draft after the Superstar Shake-Up and all of the pomp and circumstance and how they built everything up and what a giant deal it was and apparently they’re going to do things differently next time.
I think that it is time for WWE to bring back the draft next year.
