5 Things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: 3-time World Champion's return date revealed, Unexpected new faction formed?

#4. Has a new faction been formed?

Daniel Bryan and King Corbin are two Superstars who have already qualified for the Money in the Bank ladder match. They had a back-and-forth to open the night, with Bryan slamming Corbin for being one of the four Superstars to fail a MITB cash-in.

The two Superstars faced off and it was a long contest to open the night. It ended in a DQ after Corbin threw a ladder on Daniel Bryan. But what was more interesting was that for the second week in a row, Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro came to assist Corbin.

While the duo has been under Sami Zayn's leadership, the Intercontinental Champion's absence means that the Japanese and Swiss Superstars did his bidding. We're a bit surprised that Corbin has been presented as a "leader" of sorts, but we're curious as to whether this is the direction going forward.

Corbin hasn't led a faction before but if Sami Zayn is to be out for a long time, then it's perhaps the best way to get Nakamura and Cesaro on-screen again.
