SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan kicked off tonight’s show and talked about finally getting cleared to return to the ring for WWE. Bryan gave huge props to wife Brie Bella for constantly pushing him to fight for his dreams, encouraging him to keep visiting specialists and not give up. This led to a “thank you Brie” chant in the arena and a similar hashtag trending on Twitter.
Bryan later said he did not know when or where he will be back in the ring for WWE but it will happen. He looked up at the WrestleMania 34 banner and teased a match in New Orleans but said he did not know if that would be happening. Above is video from the segment, which saw Bryan get emotional at one point.
