It\u2019s easy for me to mentally return to the moment he said goodbye to wrestling last year and the wound is still raw. I don\u2019t know Bryan Danielson, but somehow his career became personal to me. The opening of this Smackdown was a rough reminder of the beauty and pain of being a fan of Daniel Bryan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before his music hit, I had a feeling it would be him. WWE is in Seattle and since the moment in December 2013 when Seattle took over an awkward belt-hanging ceremony with Bryan chants, WWE has known what Seattle wants. Bryan\u2019s opening monologue gave me far too many flashbacks to his retirement speech. The emotion wasn\u2019t as fresh. It didn\u2019t feel as personal, but the flashbacks were still there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Miz interrupting this moment was welcome, as I would hate to start sobbing about wrestling as I cooked dinner. Miz and Bryan have some sort of magic animosity I\u2019ll always appreciate. They play off of each other well. Miz brought me back to the reality of Bryan never wrestling again. It sucked, but it was necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It did cause me to wonder where this Bryan and Miz story will terminate. Bryan cannot get revenge on Miz himself. Bryan probably cannot and should not rush the ring and deliver some swift kicks to Miz. What could be done here?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One option is John Cena stepping up in defense of his almost-brother-in-law. This has been heavily rumored as being Miz and Maryse vs. Cena and Nikki Bella. This might be the best possible option. What else could be done to advance the story of Miz and Bryan?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It doesn\u2019t feel as good as a Daniel Bryan story should, but it might be all we can get. This episode was a stark reminder of Bryan no longer being able to wrestle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And now for some random thoughts:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; We should describe super-over wrestlers as \u201cOver like Bryan in Seattle.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The prospect of a new Elimination Chamber structure is the most exciting thing about Sunday\u2019s Elimination Chamber show to me. I will always love the reveal of new matches or match types. I\u2019m almost regretting not making the long drive out to Phoenix for this show.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-2457224837\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Baron Corbin beating AJ Styles, Miz, and Dean Ambrose by pinning Styles is a nice feather in his cap (or vest). Corbin has been one of the victories of Smackdown\u2019s creative efforts since the draft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; I\u2019m rather excited about having three women\u2019s matches at Elimination Chamber. This should be a regular occurrence on single-brand shows when possible. I dream of a day when WWE shows feature 50% women\u2019s matches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Luke Harper seems like nothing more than an obstacle for Randy Orton to quickly go through at Elimination Chamber, but I remain excited about what Harper can be. Given that I anticipate Wyatt and Orton to be the WWe Championship match at WrestleMania, Harper could do some pretty neat things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; As excited as I am for the plentiful amount of women\u2019s matches on Sunday, this Nikki and Natalya promo has featured some truly cringe-worthy promos. Please make it stop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; I thought I\u2019d care more about Dolph Ziggler after a turn, but my newfound hatred of Apollo Crews has caused me to care less. Now Ziggler is being set up as the bad guy at an almost unfair disadvantage on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The combo-platter contract signing for Mickie James vs. Becky Lynch and Naomi vs. Alexa Bliss was well done. James\u2019 promo was the centerpiece of it and she did a really nice job. Lynch\u2019s response was excellent. This type of exchange between a delusional heel and an easy to support babyface is missing from far too many areas in WWE.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; I\u2019m still not in love with frequent contract signings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; 12 man tag team matches shouldn\u2019t happen. The tag team scene on Smackdown is the disappointment of the show. Who knew Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley were holding everything together?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; American Alpha should really just be doing open challenges every week. Steal the John Cena gimmick and let them get over with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Randy Orton vs. John Cena was what I expected it to be. The Wyatt Family interference with the referee knocked out was one of those ridiculous \u201conly in wrestling\u201d moments. The referee\u2019s resurrection made me laugh.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-4103988575\" class=\"prowr-content-5 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_3 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Got thoughts on this show or my review of it?
