Daniel Bryan's return to the ring has been underwhelming so far. That's not through any fault of his own though as he's superb at everything the WWE throws at him. He certainly wasn't the reason why his feud with Big Cass didn't work, and he's definitely making the most of this weird tag-team feud with the Bludgeon Brothers.

However, the Team Hell No reunion has the potential to change all of that and begin an upturn for post-return Bryan. So far the storyline has, for the most part, been a lot of fun. I know I certainly popped a little when Kane returned to help his former tag-team partner out against Harper and Rowan's attack.

This has eventually led to a match between the two teams at Extreme Rules for the SmackDown Live Tag Team Titles. It's an intriguing match that will tell us a lot about WWE's plans for Bryan going forward. But, here are the five ways we think this tag-team bout could go down!


#5 Team Hell Yes!

The Bludgeon Brothers have been incredibly dominant as a tag-team but they've never faced anyone like the pairing of Daniel Bryan and Kane. It's entirely possible that Team Hell No change their name to Team Hell Yes by claiming the SmackDown Live Tag-Team Titles and beating the Bludgeon Brothers clean.

This would be a great way to make Bryan a champion in the WWE without burning out those hotly anticipated singles matches against the likes of Samoa Joe, AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura.

Plus it would allow Kane and Bryan to shine a spotlight on the SmackDown Live Tag-Team Division that has been consistently strong anyway. Plus we get intriguing matches like Team Hell No vs SAnitY, The Usos and The New Day. There’s plenty of time to get to those dream singles matches!

#4 The Bludgeoning Continues

Let's not forget that the Bludgeon Brothers have made successful tag-teams like The Usos, The New Day and, dare I say it, The Hype Bros look easy to defeat. Okay, The Hype Bros weren't successful but they were easy to defeat!

As much as their title reign hasn't set the world on fire the WWE could see no reason to derail that dominance by keeping the belts on Harper and Rowan as they beat Team Hell No Clean.

This could be the case especially as Kane might not be around for too long. Making the Team Hell No reunion more of a 'greatest hit' revisit for Daniel Bryan, rather than a long-term booking decision.

#3 The Bludgeon Brothers actually bludgeon something, getting themselves DQ'd

The Bludgeon Brothers are never without their trusty tools of bludgeoning but rarely do they actually use them. I can't think of a better time to do some literal bludgeoning than at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view.

As they are currently slated to wrestle in a plain old non-gimmick match, this would get them disqualified but obviously they'd still keep the titles. You could then have a rematch between the two teams later on if you wanted!

#2 A Betrayal

Could 'The Big Red Monster' turn on his partner?

Daniel Bryan is white hot as a babyface so he won't be turning on anyone anytime soon but Kane is a significant possibility given what he has spent most of the last year in wrestling doing!

If you will recall Kane teamed up with The Miz to take on The Shield in the 5 vs 3 Tables, Ladders and Chairs match. He then spent the following weeks feuding with a babyface Braun Strowman. Plus there was literally that time before Survivor Series when Kane attacked Daniel Bryan backstage on RAW.

To spell it out, Kane is a bad guy and he's going to do our D-Bry wrong. You could even have him be in league with The Miz still!

#1 The Most Must-see Superstar in Sports Entertainment

The Miz could make the difference

The Miz features quite heavily in the advertising for Extreme Rules but isn't in a match yet. It's unlike The Miz to miss a pay-per-view unless he has a very good reason so I think he might have a role to play here.

Daniel Bryan has had several altercations with The Miz recently, all falling short of a full 1 vs 1 match but we all know it's coming. What if the Miz fast-tracked a programme between himself and Daniel Bryan to set up a match at SummerSlam by interfering in the tag-team match and costing Daniel Bryan the titles?
