Uh oh!

You may have noticed that Daniel Bryan has gone subtly heelish in some of his promos lately. He's knocked Edge just as much as Roman Reigns, and seems to play up being a smart ass who has manipulated his way into someone else's title hunt. More on that later - for now, 'dat knee.

Bryan smashed Edge with a warning shot as SmackDown went off the air, and it felt big. Seconds earlier, Mr. 'Rated-R' had shrugged Dan off so he could continue pummelling Roman, and that was the last straw for a ticked-off D-Bry. So, he decided to rearrange Edge's jaw and send a message to the 'Mania challenger.

The perceived disrespect Bryan thinks Edge has for him bubbled over here. Again, this is something WWE can come back to after Edge is finished working Reigns. Seriously, it's worth repeating that they need to make this match a reality before Daniel hangs up his boots.
