Big Cass Pulled From Smackdown This Week

[Alyce: Old Media Enthusiast]

We're getting Bryan and Hardy instead. Winner takes on Joe next week.

[Chris Hammers]

WWE SmackDown Live GM Paige has spoken:

1. Big Cass is NOT medically cleared to compete tomorrow.
2. Daniel Bryan and Jeff Hardy will battle in a second chance match tomorrow.
3. The winner will face Samoa Joe NEXT WEEK in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match!

[Tenshigure]

So I guess we're seeing Bryan vs Joe next week at this rate. Can't complain about that!

I'm liking all these matches they are having Bryan do.

Rusev one week, Jeff Hardy the next.

Just check em off one by one, and be sure to do Shinsuke Nakamura before he breaks again.

I do NOT want him in that ladder match though. I'm down for a win over Hardy and a loss to Joe.

[A Platypus Rave]

merged the two threads.

My guess is Jeff wins... as I could see them wanting to save Bryan vs. Joe for an actual feud.

This sounds a lot better than the Joe/Cass match we would have gotten, I'm all for it, though I still hope it ends with Joe advancing to MITB.

Not a fan of Cass, but it would suck if he was back on the shelf as quickly as he came back, for as hard as he worked to return.

So after losing their qualifying matches, Bryan and Jeff just get another opportunity? Why? The dudes lost, shouldn't someone else take on Joe? Or is Smackdown Live that short of talent that they have to give Bryan and Jeff another opportunity?

Don't get me wrong, I want to see Bryan take on Jeff Hardy, but it feels like Smackdown, with Nakamura getting title shot after title shot, and the second chances, is the land of opportunity after opportunity after opportunity.

Not on tv but they did Bryan vs nakamura as a post show dark match a week or two ago

Smaller roster = no line to be put in the back of.

Cass legit injured or this related to him being in the doghouse?

The attempted voodoo doll sacrifice of Tiny Bryan angered Papa Shango. Who knew our based god loved workrate?

[Dub H]

My issue with Cas svs Joe was that neither could afford to lose to the other

[Cyno]

I wonder if Cass is legitimately injured or if he's come down with a serious case of NUKLEAR HEATZ!!!

It's hard to say as there were reports of him being injured during a match on the UK Tour however it was then reported to be false and just a work to sell the angle on last Smackdown when Bryan hurt his leg. However there was a video that was posted when the injury was posted of a tag match he worked on the tour where he's limping around and looks to be in a ton of pain. Watching that video it looks legit unless he was selling it unbelievably well. I guess him getting pulled could be a punishment for being in the doghouse but then I don't know why they even announced the match to begin with? Or it could just all be a work and he'll come out and cost Bryan the match.

Vince told him not to do something, and he went ahead and did it. It is very probable Big Ass has a serious case of the latter.

Was Little Daniel Bryan a gypsy? Cass has been cursed since that segment.

It sounds good and I can see them getting 15 minutes or so but ends on a no contest after Cass jumps them both. Kinda neat as I type this that the two of the biggest fan dream matches for Bryan will probably both end in DQ so they can always come back for more.

He worked the entire Euro tour I believe and I cannot see them having him do that if there was a legit injury.
