5 things we can expect on SmackDown Live (22 May 2018)

#2 Daniel Bryan will be in the MITB match after all?

Will Big Cass' loss be Daniel Bryan's gain?

It was a shocking decision by WWE to have Daniel Bryan lose his qualifying match against Rusev a few weeks ago. It seemed for a while that Bryan would not be in the match, as WWE had announced a match between Big Cass and Samoa Joe for the final spot in the match.

However, backstage issues seem to have put a speed bump in Cass' return run, as WWE announced that due to an injury (most definitely kayfabe), Cass wouldn't be competing in the match. Instead, Jeff Hardy will take on Bryan, with the winner facing Joe for the final spot.

Fans need not be disappointed, as it looks like the Flying Goat will be in the marquee match come June 17th after all.
