Or is this just going to be a ruse and when Roman and Bryan team against Rowan and Harper, Bryan sides with them? I mean it’s been almost a year since Bryan turned, but I feel like there is money in a Roman/Bryan fued

Jury still out on this
I just can't see them turning down a DB/Roman feud especially when has only been a heel closing in on a year

He'll be a face for this feud and then Bryan will turn heel again and go against Roman lol. Bryan will say "I teamed with you because I was having an issue with my friend but I hate you Roman" and boom, feud.

Probably not, but I'm close to ready for Bryan to turn.

Yeah, I’m leaning toward it being a ruse.

I really hope not. His big return to face needs to be an epic all-time pop. Not “I’m Roman Reigns friend now.”

I can see Fox being like "say that Yes movement fellow is a very popular good guy, can we have that?"

At first I thought it was all bullshit and he was in cahoots with Rowan and Harper, but after tonight I believe he's really turning face now.

Nope been all a ruse all along but they are trying to throw people off the trail. Roman is gonna keep fighting these numbers....Dbry teams with him to keep up the ruse only to then turn on him creating a 3 on 1 situation cue up the Usos returning. Roman and Usos overcome ...Dbry and Rowan and Harper then go feud with New Day while Roman chases Brock for the title yet again which he will regain at Mania. I look forward to my future FAN award in the category of excellence in predicting the obvious

It would look dumb as hell if Rowan and Harper continue to kick the shit out of him for Bryan to turn on Reigns as a swerve.
You could have done that before tonight (and it still would have looked suspect after one beating), but not now.

He cut that promo like he cut all his face promos. That said, if anyone could pull off this being a ruse, it's D-Bry. Especially if they play the intellectual equals card with Rowan, but leave JUST enough leeway that they could feud them for real down the line, if they wanted to go for an actual face turn.

I can see Fox being like "say that Yes movement fellow is a very popular good guy, can we have that?" Interestingly, the Fox commercial for SmackDown does include a brief shot of Bryan leading YES! chants as part of the montage of wrestling's influence outside the ring.

I'm soo over the Yes Chants and this Daniel Bryan is my favorite incarnation of him since he was a glorious prick in 2006. It would be a travesty to turn him just because Fox likes Yes chants

I'm wondering if this is kind of like a Charlotte situation where she hasn't turned but her opponents have and so she's finding herself working with faces despite being heel.

The only way I think this would have worked would have been if they did some really obviously easy to fake sort of bump.
The fact they basically broke him in half through the announce table with no obvious way of it not hurting like a mofo probably rules out a cunning ruse.

I hope he gets announced as "The Old" Daniel Bryan. Or Daniel Bryan Classic, like when New Coke got phased out.

If it were a ruse, they'd go with the classic "found unconscious backstage" routine. At this point, we've watched Bryan get put through two tables and beaten down. He'd look like the biggest moron ever if it were fake. I guess they could have Bryan pull the "The physical pain was worth the deception" route, but I'm leaning away from that. Rowan has changed his look along with Harper, which feels like a complete gimmick change away from Bryan.

Bryan attacked Roman all along. Wait for it.

It would be such a waste of one of the best characters in modern wrestling.
Bryan's face run after his return was lukewarm for many reasons, but even knowing how good he was I never thought his heel turn would work.
Not only did it work, it is in the discussion for his best work, and it hasn't been anywhere near long enough a run to justify turning him again already. And even if you do, this shouldn't be the way to do it.

I might get the feeling that they want to load all of their big guns for Smackdown on Fox, and considering Daniel Bryan as a face is the most over guy they have had in over a decade, they might go back to that well. Especially since Bryan has the ability to turn face and immediately become the most over face on the show.
My hope is we get face Bryan vs Lesnar as the first main event feud of the move, as their match last year is legit one of my favorite of all times.
