WWE has announced that the SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan will be returning to WWE programming during the June 20th episode of SmackDown Live.
Bryan last appeared on WWE TV on the April 11th episode of SmackDown. He took a paternity leave afterwards as his wife Brie Bella was expecting a baby.
He announced his return to the show via a tweet. In the tweet as seen below, Daniel said that he is looking forward to this Sunday’s Money In The Bank, and revealed that he will be back on SmackDown Live after the PPV:
Looking forward to watching history be made at @WWE #MITB on Sunday but Tuesday it’s back to work for me at #SDLive! #YesYesYes

Daniel Bryan returns to SmackDown LIVE this Tuesday
The Beard is coming back!
SmackDown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan revealed on Twitter that he will return to Team Blue this Tuesday night.
Bryan has not been seen on SmackDown LIVE since the completion of the Superstar Shake-up on April 11, as he joined his wife, Brie Bella, to welcome daughter Birdie Joe into the world. The couple’s first child arrived on May 9, and now, Bryan is ready to get back to business.
The General Manager will rejoin SmackDown LIVE at a critical juncture, just two days after WWE Money in the Bank, where not only will Team Blue’s men compete for a guaranteed WWE Championship opportunity, but the women will also battle in a Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a guaranteed SmackDown Women’s Title Match for the first time ever. Having won the Money in the Bank Ladder Match in 2011 and cashed in successfully to become World Heavyweight Champion, Bryan knows just unpredictable things can become once the Money in the Bank briefcase comes into play.
Will Daniel Bryan’s return to SmackDown LIVE go smoothly, or will he come back to a Team Blue that’s more chaotic than ever? Find out on SmackDown LIVE, this Tuesday at 8/7 C on USA Network!
