1. Nope.
Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan's conflicting facial expressions on the above image go some way to emphasising their respective roles as blue brand authority figures. With more swagger than the former World Champion carrying that very name, 'Shane-O-Mac' couldn't be more at home with the power, no matter how miniscule. With an incredulous grin, Bryan's mug reflects his complete indifference to the political machinations of WWE despite an undercurrent of frustration that the company won't clear him to perform.
Ironically, its both these contrasting emotions that heels Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens are trying to manipulate in their quest to rid the blue brand of 'The Boy Wonder'. As the more rational of the two and a former member of their independent brotherhood, Bryan stands as a voice of reason in between the sweaty angst of McMahon Jr and the self-involved chicanery of Owens and Zayn.
With their jobs on the line, there's absolutely no chance the pair will lose to Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton here, though their inevitably tainted victory will undoubtedly leave more questions than answers between the tacitly tense referees.
