Why Daniel Bryan is facing Heath Slater on SmackDown
Daniel Bryan and Heath Slater have faced each other twice this month, and the WWE Universe has no idea why. The former WWE Champion was involved in the title picture just a few weeks ago, but after being defeated by 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt twice, he seems to have moved on.

WrestlingNews now reports that the idea to face Slater and have Drew Gulak involved in the storyline is all Bryan’s idea. They claim that he wants to help his friends, who are being underutilized by the company, to get on WWE TV.
I am told that this is Daniel Bryan’s idea and the reason why Gulak and Slater have been appearing on SmackDown lately is that Bryan suggested for them to be used in a storyline with him since he is friends with them and knows that they are underutilized.
They added that most of Bryan's ideas are taken up by the creative team and reported, “Sometimes Vince [McMahon] and Bruce [Prichard] will turn down an idea, but a lot of the things he has pitched have been used on TV.”
