We've been hearing rumors all week that Daniel Bryan had decided not to take part in the Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia, and that was confirmed tonight on SmackDown LIVE.
Daniel and AJ Styles opened the show trading barbs in the ring, and when things got heated Commissioner Shane McMahon decided to let them have the WWE Championship match that was supposed to happen at Crown Jewel right then and there.
Unfortunately for Bryan, he came up on the losing end when Styles forced him to tap-out to the Calf Crusher. Both men did embrace in a show of mutual respect after the match, only to be ambushed by Samoa Joe!
Does this mean The Samoan Submission Machine will be the one to face The Phenomenal One at Crown Jewel? We'll just have to wait and see.
