During TLC, Daniel Bryan (minus his familiar long hair and beard) made his return to WWE to attack Bray Wyatt. Clearly, things aren't over between the two men and the company has now confirmed that the Universal Champion will address Bryan's actions during Friday's episode of SmackDown.
Here's the teaser from WWE:
It had been more than two weeks since the WWE Universe had last seen Daniel Bryan as he was pulled to the depths of hell by Bray Wyatt. At WWE TLC, a mix of shock and elation gave way to a cathartic release of Yes! chants throughout the Target Center after Bryan's payback-driven return left the Universal Champion battered and befuddled.
With a new look that has many asking for his anti-aging techniques, Bryan has put the twisted titleholder on notice — and his eyeing of the Universal Championship signaled intentions of potentially presenting Wyatt another challenge.
How will Wyatt respond to Bryan's brazen assault? Can Bryan use the Yes! movement to overcome the Universal Champion's mind games? Catch Friday Night SmackDown at 8/7 C on FOX.
It's thought that these two will clash at the Royal Rumble PPV but whether their rivalry is one that will dominate the Road to WrestleMania obviously remains to be seen, especially with rumours swirling that Roman Reigns will challenge The Fiend for the title at next year's Show of Shows.
