Man, please don't make his first match back Him & Shane vs Zayn & Owens

Why on earth would they announce it on twitter?

Missed a big opportunity with an on screen announcement.

Exactly my thoughts. SD is hours away, and obviously he's been cleared to allow him to be Shane's partner at Wrestlemania, so just let that be the angle tonight and pop the crowd.

Great news for Bryan...bad news for storyline purposes as he'll be stuck in that pointless tag match.

**Postman Dave** · 03-20-2018, 03:30 PM

Fuck how they announced it, so happy for D-Bry.

Bet it's a fucking work

**Zero** · 03-20-2018, 03:32 PM

Man, everything about this is fucked up. The announcement on Twitter of all things to this waste of a match for the biggest return in years.

Would be the biggest kick in the balls since Takers streak ended.

**Vayne** · 03-20-2018, 03:34 PM

I mean, I've got mixed feelings on this honestly.

The mans had severe seizures and has a lesion on his brain from severe concussions and likely has early stage CTE.

But I fucking love American Dragon and want to see him wrestle again.

I understand the logic behind it (drop a huge annoucement a few hours before and in turn you would hope ratings improve) but i agree, this is a huge moment which could have been even bigger with a huge reaction from the crowd. Social media should be used as a tool to build your show, your show should not be built around social media

Still amazing news for Bryan.

**Kairi HoHo** · 03-20-2018, 03:35 PM

I told you guys I called it, well plenty of us hoped to see Bryan return to the ring. I think majority of us wanted to see him in a Singles Match of some kind, but baby steps people Bryan is back in the ring Wrestling as a business just got better. Imagine the pop tonight when he comes out on SD and says it to the WWE Universe it's going to be a mad house, don't forget to watch SD, MMC and 205 Live tonight fellas.

**RainShaker** · 03-20-2018, 03:35 PM

In seriousness, they've announced it to get as many people to tune in as possible. Announcing it during the show is just going to pop those watching already for the most part.

**Baldwin** · 03-20-2018, 03:37 PM

Legit got the fear he'll return and get injured off the bat but woo

**MC 16** · 03-20-2018, 03:38 PM

BRYAN!!!!!

**Postman Dave** · 03-20-2018, 03:49 PM

I have the fear he'll be hurt again, but at the end of the day it's Bryan who wants to return, WWE put it off as long as possible. He's a grown man who can make his own decisions, and with a wife and kid is likely VERY aware of the risks involved.

It makes me wonder if the extent of his injuries were initially understated the the E. Head injuries is one thing they just don't seem to fuck around with anymore so if they've cleared him then either the his injuries were not as bad as first believed or they have a MEGA amount of faith that he'll be ok in the ring.

Yes, but given the very large number of athletes who have had CTE and hurt others shows that those risks involve others when you go too far with concussions.

**Sky** · 03-20-2018, 04:05 PM

It's clear by how they handle conclusions to Raw and SDL storylines that they care more about social media than they do their televsion shows.

**Big Papa** · 03-20-2018, 04:15 PM

I'm with Shaker - work.

Honestly, I'm not that hyped for this. I worry on the risk, given how serious the injury was made to sound when he had to retire. That retirement gutted me as much as it gutted everyone. But I'm way past the point of wanting to see others genuinely risk their long term health for my entertainment. And if Bryan even has an elevated risk level because of this injury - and he probably already does because of his style - then I struggle with seeing this as a positive.
