Smackdown Live General Manager Daniel Bryan will be making his return to the “Blue Brand” next Tuesday night, WWE.com has officially confirmed. Bryan has been off television since the Superstar Shakeup in April, as he and Total Bellas star Brie Bella welcomed their first child, Birdie Joe Danielson, into the world on May 9th.
Here’s the official statement from WWE.com:
The General Manager will rejoin SmackDown LIVE at a critical juncture, just two days after WWE Money in the Bank, where not only will Team Blue’s men compete for a guaranteed WWE Championship opportunity, but the women will also battle in a Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a guaranteed SmackDown Women’s Title Match for the first time ever. Having won the Money in the Bank Ladder Match in 2011 and cashed in successfully to become World Heavyweight Champion, Bryan knows just unpredictable things can become once the Money in the Bank briefcase comes into play.
Will Daniel Bryan’s return to SmackDown LIVE go smoothly, or will he come back to a Team Blue that’s more chaotic than ever? Find out on SmackDown LIVE, this Tuesday at 8/7 C on USA Network!
