WWE Backlash 2018: 8 Huge Predictions You Need To Know

8. Big Night

A divisive storyline possibly due to unrealistic expectations of Daniel Bryan's return as a full-timer, the 'Yes! Man's rivarly with Big Cass actually contained an intriguing amount of continuity before WWE took a literal shortcut and took a creative cr*p on the entire thing.

Cass bringing out a miniature Daniel Bryan to bully in the absence of the man himself was a cheap go-home angle for an otherwise rich mini-feud. The p*ssed off seven-footer didn't care a jot for his opponent's return, instead more agrieved that his own clearance was completely overlooked in the wake of such big news.

Infuriated by his unexpected exit in 2017, the bitterness was perfect motivation for a brusk return at Bryan's expense until some sub-1999 comedy with a little person completely trivialised the issue.

It will fall predominantly to Bryan to work his magic against his limited rival but this is exactly the type of contest that will prove his renewed worth to the organisation. An instant main eventer if they need him, Bryan can also become the convincing midcard workhorse too. Even in defeat, which regrettably needs to happen here for the good of the Cass cause.
