Two days after “Money in the Bank“, Smackdown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan will make his return to the blue brand. Bryan has been absent from the show since April due to the birth of his daughter, Birdie Joe Danielson on May 9th.
Here is the official announcement 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!
There’s no confirmation on whether or not Bryan will retake his position on Talking Smack, which airs on the WWE Network at 11 PM ET after 205 Live. During his absence from the show, both Shane McMahon & JBL filled in.
