As reported earlier, Daniel Bryan will no longer be going to Saudi Arabia in order to take part in his match against AJ Styles at WWE Crown Jewel due to moral reasons and the controversy surrounding the event. There were even talks of who might replace him.
Bryan Alvarez discussed on Wrestling Observer Live, that WWE won’t really bother to explain his absence all that much. This is what he said:
“The story that we heard is that they’re not going to shoot an angle on SmackDown tonight to get him out of Crown Jewel. He simply won’t be there with the show. I don’t know what that means. Does that mean that he’s turning heel? Does he do an angle where he no-shows? Are they actually going to shoot an angle tonight now that word is out?”
The WWE Superstars will be heading to Saudi Arabia tomorrow via plane and then we can be totally sure if Bryan will go or not. But from what it looks like, he most definitely won’t go.
