Daniel Bryan vs. Big Cass

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.

While fans may not particularly enjoy the way WWE has used Bryan since his return, it's a very smart move. Returning to the fold Daniel Bryan has found himself hovering just below the main event establishing his underdog persona once more with a hint of sublime veteran instinct.

At his best, it's helped elevate some performers including giving Rusev a clean win over him. The same method applies in his matches against Big Cass. Unfortunately, despite adding to his arsenal of moves including a harsh torture rack, Cass hasn't really improved. Worse still with two straight losses by submission, one wonders where WWE heads with a giant who just can't match up to his counterparts such as Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre.

Meanwhile, the other genius of creative includes providing Bryan an opponent like Cass with a limb injury to target, using his wily technician abilities. This way Bryan avoids going the risky high-flying route to take out men bigger than him.

It's similar to the transition Steve Austin made after his neck injuries from technician to brawler, giving Bryan leeway to continue for longer and give us some much-needed dream matches.

Daniel Bryan makes Big Cass tap out once again!
