SmackDown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan kicked off the show in his home state of Washington to get the WWE Universe riled up, but not too long after getting them into a certified “Yes!” frenzy, Sami Zayn first hit the scene to bring down the mood. Bryan expressed his disappointment in Zayn for his actions over the past several weeks, but Zayn fired back, demeaning the Team Blue General Manager and denouncing their former relationship. Kevin Owens then hit the scene to back up all of Zayn’s claims, suggesting that Bryan has become the ultimate hypocrite by now taking a managerial position within WWE.
This drew the ire of Bryan, who was completely off-put by the pair’s comments. And although the “Yes! Man” believed the old Sami may still exist, right now he was going to find two opponents to square off against Owens & Zayn later tonight.
