5 Twists that can happen at WWE Clash of Champions 2017

Smackdown Live's grand pay-per-view, Clash of Champions, is almost upon us and it features all the Titleholders on the Blue brand defending their strap.But despite the pay-per-view being called what it is and the fact that all the belts are up for grabs, the storyline that has been stealing all the limelight is the one involving Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.It is pretty well known that if Shane McMahon had his way, the BFFs' position on SmackDown Live would be untenable by now.Follow Sportskeeda's coverage of Clash of Champions 2017 and get your live updates right hereBut the patience and enduring nature of Daniel Bryan has prevailed thus far in delaying that fate, resulting in a match for them against the team of Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton at the event.Should they lose that match, however, they're gone from all of WWE.And insert not one but two special guest referees into the mix in Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon, and you have all the ingredients for a perfect storm.So many factors are in play and so much is at stake that it's almost impossible to predict what will happen to affect the outcome of the match.Which is why that match predominates most of this article, where we discuss the possible twists at Clash of Champions.I've managed to squeeze in a couple of slides about other matches on the cards...but realistically, if we're expecting any major twist at the pay-per-view, I think we can agree that it's going to be in the main event.On that note, here are 5 possible twists that can happen at Clash of Champions. As always, if you feel that we've overlooked a twist that you think is likely or you just flat out want to see...hit us up in the comments below.#1 Daniel Bryan wrestles againCould Shane McMahon bring the fighter out of Daniel Bryan again?While watching SmackDown Live this week, I couldn't help but wonder why Daniel Bryan was even inserting himself into the match as a second special guest referee.The match already featured so many functioning parts that it felt like overkill to add one more. Especially under the pretext of keeping Shane McMahon in check.I can't help but feel that the WWE is building towards a Shane McMahon - Daniel Bryan rivalry with this development. While nothing too obvious and outward so far, their relationship has betrayed an undercurrent of strain in the past couple of months.And the whole situation could reach the boiling point if they end up at cross purposes at the pay-per-view, which is quite likely considering how Shane detests KO and Zayn while Bryan seems to nurse a soft spot for them.Shane McMahon also seems very close to snapping all the time these days and if he does so against Daniel Bryan in the heat of the moment, the perpetrator of the Yes! Movement isn't one to take an attack lying down.
