5 Twists That Could Happen on the SmackDown Live After Fastlane

#2 Daniel Bryan announces his in-ring return

Could we actually see Bryan vs. McMahon at WrestleMania 34?

We've seen Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan at odds for many months now. While the rumours do indicate that Shane McMahon will face Dolph Ziggler, wouldn't Bryan be a more logical opponent? Of course, the only problem is that Daniel Bryan is not an active competitor. Maybe he's been cleared and we don't know it yet!

Since this is a speculative article anyway, we're speculating that Daniel Bryan announces his in-ring return on SmackDown Live, this week. This is, of course, a story that will make a lot of sense from a booking perspective. Plus, Bryan's presence will add depth to the WrestleMania card.

Bryan has made it clear several times that he prefers being a wrestler to an authority figure. Why wouldn't he? After all, he's the Shawn Michaels of the current era.
