One of the pleasant news received by the WWE fans was that Daniel Bryan was cleared to compete.
Over the past few years, the fans mourned a lot about the most popular superstar of this generation not getting to compete inside the ring, again. It was a strict rule by the officials keeping his body condition in mind.
However, the leader of the YES movement never backed down from the tough challenges he encountered ever since the retirement in 2016.
After gathering all the evidence, he was finally medical cleared when Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn delivered a massive attack which was the first in-ring storyline angle for him.

These two heels also tried to end the career of Shane McMahon by giving him a disturbing assault, four weeks ago. So, it was evident that the authority figured would team up to stand against the wrath of these two superstars. Also, this meant the much-anticipated in-ring comeback for Daniel Bryan at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Even before the start of the match, the crowd started YES to welcome back Daniel Bryan to in-ring competition. Shane McMahon made his way out to the ring, first following it with Daniel Bryan who got such a wild reception from the crowd that gave us goosebumps.
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn did not have an entrance and showed up only to attack the two authority figures.

Daniel Bryan got brutally attacked from behind. Zayn delivered a Helluva Kick to Bryan, instantly before Kevin Owens delivered the pop-up powerbomb on Daniel Bryan on the apron.
It forced the medical team to come out with a stretcher to take the Smackdown GM out of the arena.

Shane McMahon competed in a handicapped match after that, digesting a beatdown from the heels. Owens delivered a frog splash on Shane to almost win the match, as the pin was broken by Daniel Bryan who ran into the contest right from the stretcher. Hot tag was made to the leader of the YES movement who tore the house down by putting both Owens and Zayn down with series of moves.
Are @SamiZayn‘s lights OUT?

Sami Zayn was tagged into the contest and ran into a Helluva Kick from Daniel Bryan! Bryan delivered some YES kicks before connecting with the running knee.
Thereafter, he got Zayn with the YES lock applied, as he was forced to tap out. Daniel Bryan shared the moment with Brie Bella and the audience in the Superdome before leaving the ring.
