The plans for SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan were thought to be set in stone but now are up in the air.

The reason for this is due to the current condition of the SmackDown Commissioner. WWE has announced that Shane McMahon is currently recovering from acute diverticulitis and an umbilical hernia.

As of this writing, it’s not clear what this means for McMahon’s status at WrestleMania 34, but it’s been reported that he will team up with Bryan to take on Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn at the event.

Dave Meltzer gave an update on the situation during the most recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio.

“Shane McMahon was diagnosed with diverticulitis. So that match at WrestleMania is going to have to be changed. Shane McMahon & Daniel Bryan vs. Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens match which is liking going to be announced tomorrow.

So, he’s in really rough shape. That hernia surgery is a pretty bad one. It’s not unusual but it’s a very painful surgery. The diverticulitis is a pretty bad deal as well, so he’s probably not going to be around for a while. I asked around about what’s going to happen and it all kind of broke in the last couple of days.

Tomorrow we will have a lot better idea but they are probably going to have to switch courses. Go in another direction. Probably Daniel Bryan in a tag team — getting another tag team partner would be the most likely situation.”

Co-host Bryan Alvarez brought up the fact that they could reach out to Chris Jericho to see if he would be willing to be Bryan’s partner at the biggest event of the year for the sports entertainment company due to his history with Owens in the past on television.

However, Meltzer checked on Fozzy tour dates and noted that Jericho would have to cancel his Fozzy concert in New Hampshire which is the same day as WrestleMania to make the event. It’s not likely he’s willing to cancel tour dates.
