5 things that could happen on RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week

#4 Roman Reigns comes to Daniel Bryan’s aide

WWE can do a lot with this pairing before blowing them up

SmackDown has been building from the ground up again after a move to the FOX network and the recently concluded WWE Draft. The effects of the draft may not be evident right away, but it feels like the top of the men’s roster on SmackDown has a void that has been created due to the involvement of athletes of other sports and the wildcard rule.

Last week’s SmackDown saw neither Brock Lesnar nor Bray Wyatt appear on the show, and it was up to Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Baron Corbin to carry the brand ahead.

Keeping that in mind, WWE did well to team Bryan and Reigns yet again to deliver a good performance in the main event of the night.

Carrying that forward, WWE should invest more in this storyline and partnership which can pay its dividends in the long run. Now the company should allow Reigns’ to come to Bryan’s aid next week and help Bryan fend off the heels to book another tag team match.

This will allow them to pair Bryan and Reigns for some time to come and keep them relevant on the Blue Brand while Lesnar, Wyatt, and Strowman are busy in other feuds.

Once the company frees them up and moves away from the celebrity feuds after Crown Jewel, we could see Reigns and Bryan develop differences and compete against each other in due time to give fans the feud they’ve been waiting for.
