- As noted, Big Cass spent the recent WWE European tour selling last week's beatdown from Daniel Bryan. WWE posted an article about how Cass had to be helped to the back at the weekend live event in Munich. In an update, SmackDown General Manager Paige announced today that the Money In the Bank qualifier with Cass vs. Samoa Joe has been nixed from this week's SmackDown. There will now be a Second Chance match with Daniel Bryan vs. WWE United States Champion Jeff Hardy. The winner will face Joe next week in a MITB qualifier. Paige wrote:
Due to @BigCassWWE injury, @WWEDanielBryan will face @JEFFHARDYBRAND tomorrow night on #SDLive in a second chance match...
The winner will face @SamoaJoe NEXT WEEK for an opportunity to qualify and enter the Men's #MITB Ladder Match.
