Daniel Bryan will look to cut Big Cass down to size when the two SmackDown Superstars collide at WWE Backlash tonight.
When Bryan retuned to in-ring competition prior to WrestleMania, everyone was inspired by the four-time World Champion’s refusal to give up on his unrelenting drive to chase down his dream. Well… almost everyone that is.
Coming to SmackDown LIVE as part of the 2018 Superstar Shake-up and making his return after suffering a knee injury, Big Cass made it very clear from the get-go that he was not impressed with Bryan’s comeback story. On the contrary, he opted to lay out The “Yes!” Man during a sneak attack on the April 17 edition of the blue brand.
One week later, Bryan was scheduled to be a guest on “Miz TV” for a face-to-face encounter that the WWE Universe has been excited to see since an epic war of words between Bryan and The A-Lister on the Aug. 23, 2016, edition of WWE Talking Smack. Instead, Cass made his way down to “the most must-see TV show in WWE history.” The irate Superstar expressed his frustration that his own return to action had been overshadowed by that of Bryan’s, and he promised that the subject of his animosity would never again be able to cast a shadow over him. Moments later, it was discovered that Bryan had been attacked from behind, an assault that one can only assume came from Cass.
As a result, the still war-torn Bryan asked SmackDown General Manager Paige to set up a match between the two Superstars for WWE Backlash, promising that it won’t matter how big his opponent is when he makes him tap out.
