Daniel Bryan may have completely lost his mind Sunday night at Extreme Rules, after losing the Smackdown Tag Team Championships to the New Day in a triple threat match.

The clearly deranged Superstar was interviewed backstage after the match and seemed to be having some sort of minor mental breakdown. Bryan stated that he tried to elevate the entire WWE tag team division, but he’s now realized that the division is a lost cause, and in order to “save the planet”, he has to “go where Daniel Bryan has not gone before.”
In a preview for tonight’s episode of Smackdown Live, WWE is advertising that Bryan will be making a “career-altering announcement” in the wake of his tag team championship loss.
No details yet on what this big announcement is supposed to be, but it would appear, at least for now, that Daniel Bryan will no longer be focussing on the Smackdown tag team division.
What he meant by going where he’s “never been before” is also a mystery. Several speculated that it might mean he’s going after another title, perhaps trying to elevate a different division, but he’s already won the United States, Intercontinental and WWE Championships, and Brock Lesnar already has an opponent lined up for SummerSlam.
Another idea floating around online, and mind you this is total speculation, is that Bryan may next attempt to elevate the Cruiserweight division. He’s generally announced at 210 pounds, so a jump down to make weight wouldn’t be very different for a guy his size. It certainly a place he’s never been before, although the same could be said for the NXT brand.
Whatever the case may be, we’ll find out tonight on Smackdown Live!
