5 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (April 2)
1. Daniel Bryan’s Revenge
Need some proof that Edge hasn't gone full heel? How about this?
Daniel Bryan was the one wearing an unhinged facial expression this time. He beat Jey Uso in that aforementioned 'Street Fight', then went crazy on both Edge and Reigns to end the show. Throughout his attacks, Bryan near foamed at the mouth like some rabid dog.
It was awesome, and so was something else: Daniel's anger was justified. Edge hammered him with a chair last week, and Roman has been a constant-annoyance in his quest to become Universal Champ. This was more shades of grey than anything else, and that's exactly how it should be when WWE are dealing with characters like Bryan's.
He can be a smiling good guy one minute and a dervish the next, because he's honest about his passion for competition. The same goes for Edge. WWE are doing a superb job of juggling so many moving parts in this feud heading into next week's climax.
