3 Things WWE made clear on SmackDown Live this week (27 August 2019)

#1 The rivalry between Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan officially began

The mystery of the unknown attacker was solved on SmackDown Live this week and the company hinted a new feud for Clash of Champions. Last week, Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan revealed an unknown man as the assaulter who looked identical to Rowan. The unknown man was highly unlikely to be the actual attacker of Reigns and it was proved correct on SmackDown Live.

Daniel Bryan demanded an apology from the Big Dog after the former revealed the attacker last week. However, Reigns waited till the main event where we saw a major twist. Reigns showed video footage from the backstage attack as Erick Rowan was the man behind the incident. Although Bryan refused his association in this attack, Reigns didn't believe him. When Bryan entered the ring to prove his innocence, the Big Dog delivered a vicious spear.

The ending of SmackDown Live certainly gave us a hint of the highly anticipated rivalry between Reigns and Bryan. The fans expected to see them at SummerSlam but it didn't happen. Though Bryan refused to take the blame, he probably convinced Rowan to attack the former Universal Champion. Bryan and Reigns had a brilliant feud in 2015 and it will be refreshing to see them collide at Clash of Champions. Considering the build-up, we could expect a sumptuous feud.
