WWE SmackDown Preview: Roman Reigns has a final message, huge match to be confirmed on the go-home episode before Hell In A Cell (October 23rd, 2020)

#4 More on WWE’s plans for Daniel Bryan after his return on SmackDown

Daniel Bryan would like to make his presence known

The SmackDown season premiere marked the return of Daniel Bryan. The former WWE Champion recently welcomed a new member of his family and had to take extra precautions to ensure the safety of his loved ones. Now, he's back on WWE television. While he might not have a spot on the Hell In A Cell card, he can still find himself kick off a brand new rivalry on SmackDown.

Last week, Bryan got into an altercation with Seth Rollins. However, Rollins seemingly went back to his long-standing feud with Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio afterward. Therefore, it's unclear if Bryan will start a program with Rollins, but he will certainly remain a babyface. Before his return, there were rumors The Planet's Champion could enter the world title picture on SmackDown, but it appears that WWE will hold off that plan for now.

In the meantime, Bryan could use his backstage influence to ensure that some of the deserving Superstars on the blue brand get a push. After all, SmackDown has become WWE's most interesting weekly show, and the company would appreciate every new storyline that could build up new Superstars on the brand. Moreover, with Survivor Series lurking on the horizon, WWE would be keen to develop other Superstars as brand warfare inches closer with each passing day.
