Yesterday on Monday Night Raw, Mick Foley invited Daniel Bryan to make an appearance, which was to discuss the situation between Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton, and both of them having interfered and appeared on the other brand and attacking their opponent. However, it turned out to be more than that. It was more about the two general managers rubbing salt in each other’s wounds and trying to take shots at each other, which resulted in Cesaro facing Rusev for the United States Championship in the main event of Raw.It appears that the two general managers will be clashing heads until Summerslam. The inter-brand affairs this early into the draft has been met with quite some criticism from the fans, who believe that inter-draft affairs and rivalries and wars should happen on special occasions. WWE.com are now teasing Mick Foley making an appearance on Smackdown Live. It is not known whether it will be about the Lesnar-Orton affair again, or if it will just be used for another segment for the two general managers to trade shots at each other once again. Either way, WWE.com posted this in their Smackdown Preview: ”The wake of the turmoil created when Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar completely disregarded the brand split and attacked each other on Raw and SmackDown Live last week – prior to their Aug. 21 showdown at SummerSlam – Raw General Manager Mick Foley invited SmackDown Live General Manager Daniel Bryan to Monday Night Raw to discuss the situation.
While things started on a very cordial note between the two GMs, it was soon clear that Foley was rather annoyed by a crack Bryan made about Raw’s new Universal Title on the premiere episode of “Talking Smack” – exclusively on WWE Network. Unfortunately, Rusev interrupted before the matter could be settled, leaving the WWE Universe to wonder what, if anything, will happen next. Will Foley show up on SmackDown to finish his point? Will other Superstars follow the example of Orton and Lesnar? Or perhaps, more importantly, will this unresolved issue serve as a catalyst that helps transform the friendly competition between Team Red and Team Blue into a more exasperated situation? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on SmackDown Live.”
