Everyone is extremely excited that Daniel Bryan is back. Fans are excited, the company is excited, and you better believe Daniel Bryan himself is the most excited of all. Since being cleared to return to in-ring action a couple of weeks ago, Bryan has already caught a beatdown and thrown some hands, and has used his nebulous General Manager abilities to book himself in a match at WrestleMania 34.
It’s still unclear how heavy a schedule Bryan will be working after his comeback begins in New Orleans, but it’s reported to be similar to how often we see Randy Orton. Which is a lot! And again, everyone is very excited about him being back.
To that end, WWE is SO excited about it that they just went ahead and let everyone know via WWE.com that Bryan will be back in action at least one more time in April, and that’s just super fine by us.
As you’ve probably seen by now, another thing WWE is extremely pumped about is the upcoming Greatest Royal Rumble, which will take place in Saudi Arabia on April 27. WWE is rumored to be pulling out all the stops for that event, which includes Triple H vs. John Cena and a 50-man Royal Rumble match. Don’t be surprised if they also add a reward for the Rumble winner, or some other massive dream and/or first-time-ever matches.
But the most important thing as it pertains to THIS post is that yes, Daniel Bryan will indeed be one of the participants in that 50-man Royal Rumble, which will be … uh … very long! WWE.com announced the first five official participants in the Greatest Royal Rumble match on Monday morning, and Bryan is front and center, alongside his Team Hell No forever-partner Kane, Braun Strowman, Bray Wyatt, and the Big Show.
The addition of Big Show is, of course, also news, given he hasn’t been on WWE television for some time. Although he might be a participant in this year’s Andre the Giant Battle Royal at WrestleMania, this will be his first advertised appearance since September of last year. Yes, it’s been that long. The WWE.com post also lists a couple of other matches, which might change based on what happens at WrestleMania, but are still big: a Raw Tag Team Championship between the Bar and the Hardy Boyz, and an Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match between The Miz, Seth Rollins, Finn Bálor, and Samoa Joe. That is going to rule. All of this is probably going to rule. April is shaping up to be wrestling Christmas for everyone.
