5 possible directions for the Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan storyline

#4 Bryan 'quits'

Bryan could eventually tell Shane what he can do with this job

Fans have often seen Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan engage in exchanges about how they see the product, the brand and what signifies success for Smackdown Live. It should also be noted that, regardless of the subject of their exchanges with one another, there is normally a sense of respect.

McMahon will say that he respects Bryan and believes in him; he has done this time and time again. The most recent time was the Smackdown Live after Clash of Champions after Zayn and Owens walked away victorious.

However, despite the fact that McMahon has said that he believes in him that hasn't meant he is above questioning Bryan. For example, he questioned not having the former US champion be granted a rematch for the title and setting up a tournament instead.

He questioned the booking of Gable and Benjamin to challenge for the tag titles at the Royal Rumble. While Bryan can usually justify his reasoning that doesn't mean it won't eventually get on Bryan's nerves, and he becomes sick and tired of getting questioned.

We could see a moment when Bryan becomes quite defensive about his boss questioning his decision making.
