Daniel Bryan has provided a real surprise at the last Smackdown issue before the PPV Survivor Series. The darling of the crowd put down a heel turn, defeated AJ Styles and now also meets Brock Lesnar.
The WWE changed the storyline before the Survivor Series: Daniel Bryan won Smackdown against AJ Styles and surprisingly won the WWE Championship. He will now meet Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at the upcoming PPV.
Bryan, for a long time the darling of the audience, performed a heel turn. A kick in the abdomen gave him an important advantage against Styles. Then Bryan kicked against the head of his opponent and finally brought the crowd up against him.
With the sudden turn the WWE has averted another battle between Styles and Lesnar. Bryan, on the other hand, gets the chance to take away Lesnar’s title after a three-year injury break. Experts expect Lesnar to lose, as he is about to switch to the UFC and has already reduced his weight noticeably.
Another surprise had to be announced involuntarily by the wrestling organization. Becky Lynch broke his skull at RAW and will therefore not be able to compete against Ronda Rousey at the Survivor Series. She will be replaced by Charlotte Flair.
