At last week’s WWE SmackDown tapings, WWE filmed a segment where the Big Show
came out and told fans that Daniel Bryan will probably need another surgery and
won’t be returning any time soon. Big Show encouraged fans to start a Yes! chant
so they could send the footage to Daniel Bryan and show him how much support is
waiting for him when he returns to WWE.
It turns out WWE actually edited the Yes! chant footage and aired it
immediately after Vince McMahon announced that the WWE Network would be free for
the month of November to new subscribers. Many fans picked up on the tactic and
found it disingenuous that WWE made it look like fans were chanting Yes! for the
WWE Network, not Daniel Bryan.
Speaking of Bryan, he attended Friday’s San Francisco Giants World Series
parade and got some mainstream media coverage for his involvement. It’s unknown
whether WWE will air footage of Bryan’s appearance at the parade on RAW.
