The stakes were high tonight for WWE superstar Daniel Bryan, who kicked off SmackDown with a promo in the ring that highlighted just how important his upcoming match against Jey Uso was. Tonight’s main event will include a Steel Cage match between Bryan and Uso, and if Bryan wins he will also earn a chance to face Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at Fastlane. Bryan was clearly passionate, highlighting his history and that people like him have to fight for their opportunities and aren’t just given them. He also said this could very well be his last time main eventing WrestleMania, and that’s when Reigns came out with Paul Heyman and Uso by his side.
