We noted earlier this week that there was some talk within WWE that there may have been recent creative changes to some of the WrestleMania 31 matches. There was at least some suggestions made about certain WrestleMania plans.
With the news coming out that top WWE officials knew that Daniel Bryan would be back for the Royal Rumble, it’s possible those rumored changes were made because of Bryan’s return.
It’s believed that Bryan being back in the storylines will lead to obvious creative changes. When there was so much uncertainty surrounding Bryan’s status, he was not factored into future plans.
