Intersting news.  The idea of Bryan working WM is gaining steam. 

I think he’s going to work.  He’s been cleared by every doctor he’s seen. It’s only WWE’s medical head who is denying I’m clearance.

I thought I read that he will be guest ref in a triple threat of KO, Zayn and and Shane.

I’ve heard that too. The internal line up has Owens and zayn in the Andre battle royale which never made sense. But a three way doesn’t make sense either.  It’s possible but would be a bit weird. That might be the fall back plan if they don’t ultimately clear Bryan. 

But I think something changed in the last few weeks which coincides with Bryan visiting more doctors. He said this weekend “I don’t know” when asked which is already a huge change

Looks like Mark Henry is the final HOF for this year. No Bam Bam.

Good on Mark Henry loved the WSM

Sexual Chocolate was pretty great. Congrats to Mizark Henry... Met him at an autograph signing a long time ago.. Seemed Angry... Was when he was trying to get with Chyna on air. Asked him if he still is trying... He didnt like that lol.

It was fun creative different interesting and it actually made sense if you followed the story. So many possibilities now.. What happens with Bray?

It was booked like the end of the program. Let’s hope so. Would much rather Hardy’s challenge for the tag titles. Bray would work the Andre battle royals then. But they like him so who knows. I find him incredibly boring and his weight gain hasn’t helped his work.

WWE confirms Daniel Bryan is cleared (why they'd announce it before tonight, I dont know).

Edit: I guess it makes sense to pop a number tonight.  Good for Bryan.  The reaction tonight should be unbelievable.  Perhaps on the level of Hogan in Montreal after WM X8.

Holy potatoes this changes everything

So the story is, as most people know, it was WWE's doctor Dr Maroon that iced him.  The lousy thing was, WWE sent him home and used a contract clause to roll over any time he missed.  In other words, they sent him home and said "since you're hurt indefinitely, your contract now rolls over indefinitely".  ie. he had an eternal contract.  Clearly illegal but he'd have had to sue to get out.  They eventually smartened up a bit by using him on screen, allowing his contract to continue running down.

Bryan saw his own specialists including, IIRC, the doctor for the Cardinals and was cleared by everyone.  He began doing hyperbaric chamber therapy.  WWE finally relented and Dr Maroon sent him to see several hand-picked specialists for his last chance to be cleared.  They cleared him so Dr Maroon did as well.  Thus, he's back.

His contract expires in September.

Assuming he slots in as Shane partner at WM, its a good come back spot for him.  I wonder if the WM crowd will hijack the show wanting more of him.

Here's some fantasy booking.  Roman beats Brock and then cuts a heel promo, a "How do you like me now", and arrogantly says he will never lose...he'd take on anyone at anytime...if anyone had the balls to come down here right now and face me, I'd put this belt on the line.  Cue Bryan's music.  He beats Roman and WM ends with 70,000 people doing the Yes chant.

This is kinda my line of thinking as well.  I doubt it goes down that way, but they are in a really tough spot with DB coming back this close to Wrestlemania... the fans will want him front and centre.

Maybe its one of John Cena's 20 million avenues to Westlemania Lol

They could have held him off until the night after.  And assuming he slots into the Shane match (and at the very least, Shane going on hiatus made sense for Bryan's return), they've known for a little while.  There was a lot of scuttlebutt around Rumble about Bryan as a surprise entrant.   But the people that would usually know (the ones we smarks think of as Gods) reported it was not happening as he was not cleared "then".  But I think they were on their way to that inevitable end.

Internally, WWE's line up had Owens and Zayn in the Andre battle royale and Shane vs Ziggler.  The Ziggler match, I can almost see, but the Andre thing, made little sense.  I think they were optimistic he was being cleared and they were keeping it quit, even internally.

The worst angle ever.  A show that is 6+ hours long where literally everyone appears and Jon Cena might have to buy a ticket and sit in the stands.  Yeah right.

Big Cass is also cleared.  Might hold him off til after WM (I'd suggest the Andre Battle Royale and have him win it).  I wonder if they'd waste Lashley's return in the battle royale...probably not.

Also they had a strong 3rd hour last night in terms of viewers, which is good news for Matt Hardy as the Ultimate Deletion drew well.  Interestingly, the 2nd hour outdrew the first hour (and the Roman/Brock segment).

Also AJ Styles is hurt. Last word was “hopeful for WM” so....potential yikes

Its brutal.  Cena has been awful.  I hate it.

All the years of the stupid pointing at the WM sign finally paid off when the crowd organically pointed at it during Bryan’s promo tonight. Fantastic.

And DB promptly gets his ass beat down by KO and Zayn.  Haha I love it.
