WWE Smackdown Live Results: Did Daniel Bryan Return? What Happens to Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn?

After last week’s emotional episode of SmackDown Live, which saw the return of Daniel Bryan to in-ring competition, the March 27 edition of the blue brand will continue to build towards WrestleMania 34. The looming question is what, if any, repercussions await Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn after their beat down of Bryan closed the show.

With Shane McMahon out indefinitely, it’s up to Daniel Bryan to right the SmackDown Live ship heading into WrestleMania but will he be able to return and address KO and Sami Zayn’s actions after being fired by SmackDown’s GM?

The New Day return at full strength to confront Harper and Rowan after their beating at the hands of The Bludgeon Brothers at WWE Fastlane. If the Usos couldn’t take down the duo, will The New Day fare any better?

In the U.S. Title scene, champion Randy Orton and Bobby Roode will have to put their differences behind them as they take on Jinder Mahal and Sunil Singh in tag team action.

Note: The results are still being compiled. We’ll update as matches conclude.
