Let's take a look at 5 things we learned from WWE TV this week as the PPV draws closer.
#5 Rowan turned on Daniel Bryan
The alliance between Rowan and Daniel Bryan appears to be over, as the big man snapped on WWE SmackDown Live this week and laid waste to both Bryan and Rowan's WWE Clash of Champions opponent, Roman Reigns.
For weeks, Rowan has been a prime suspect in the ongoing saga of who has been attacking Roman Reigns, and after being physically humiliated by an angry Daniel Bryan on WWE TV, Rowan decided he had enough, and turned on his partner.
The brutal attack by Rowan concluded WWE SmackDown Live this week, and it will be interesting to see where Bryan's allegiance lies when Rowan faces Roman Reigns at Clash of Champions. It's worth noting that creative plans in WWE still call for Reigns to face Daniel Bryan after Clash of Champions, so it's likely Bryan will be involved in the Clash bout in some form.
