WWE SmackDown: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (Dec 13)

10. Daniel Bryan's Epic Reaction To James Ellsworth's Sneezing

James Ellsworth was supposed to challenge AJ Styles for the WWE Title on this week's SmackDown. Unable to do so due to illness, the unlikely WWE star was shown sneezing away during a backstage skit also involving Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan. What happened next was borderline hilarious.

The segment would have been regarded as complete throwaway had Bryan not reacted so brilliantly to Ellsworth's flu-like symptoms. Encouraged to go home and recover by both the SmackDown Commissioner and General Manager, the no-chinned wonder then directed a messy sneeze towards management. That's when the GM wore an expression of utter disgust.

Vince McMahon would have been proud of this reaction from Daniel Bryan, it was totally over the top. Happening even before the regular opening of SmackDown, the promo segment was only notable for Bryan's overacting.

Even when James Ellsworth fled the scene, Bryan continued with his antics and Shane couldn't stop himself from flashing a wry smile over his General Manager's facial expressions. Surely, someone will make a gif out of this.
