How can we miss you if you won’t go away? When “Smackdown Live” General Manager Daniel Bryan was cleared to return to in-ring competition earlier this week, the first question a lot of people had was who would he be facing first. That would seem to be Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, but Bryan fired both of them. That hasn’t stopped Owens and Zayn though.
You can read this week’s “Smackdown Live” with the firing here.
Opinion: This would work a little bit better if A, the tag match wasn’t the most obvious thing in the world or if there was a little more time to set it up. So much of this year’s show has felt thrown together at the last minute and this feels the same. Having Owens and Zayn interfere with shows they’re not supposed to be on works fine, but at the same time they need more of a build.
It was quite the firing.
