In the storyline that just won’t end, Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns have been announced for yet another face-to-face segment on this week’s episode of SmackDown Live.

As per a WWE press release, *begin Michael Cole voice* The Big Dog *end Michael Cole voice* wants to meet with D-Bry to clear the air in the aftermath of Rowan and Harper’s recent attacks on Roman.

Bryan has actually been working as a babyface at recent live events, with many expecting him to team with Reigns to go up against Rowan and Harper at next month’s Hell in a Cell PPV. Of course, many are also expecting that Daniel Bryan could well still end up being revealed as the puppet master behind all of these recent attacks.

After it was revealed that Bryan’s protege Erick Rowan was behind the attacks, Bryan had some harsh words for his large ally. Last week, Erick Rowan and the recently returned Luke Harper even laid out Bryan, and Reigns surprisingly came to Bryan’s aid — to no avail.

Tomorrow’s SmackDown Live emanates from San Francisco, California’s Chase Center.
