According to reports, the Daniel Bryan and Miz story was cut short this week on SmackDown because the “Talking Smack” segment from last week went in a direction the company didn’t expect.
The SmackDown post-show segment in question received a lot of attention online and it was a largely unscripted segment. The banter was planned ahead of time, but The Miz’s improvisation during the segment cause things to veer away from what the company planned. Daniel Bryan noted on the August 30th episode of Talking Smack and Wednesday night’s SportsCenter that WWE intends to keep he and the Miz far apart while they’re on screen, which suggests that the segment didn’t go how WWE planned and won’t be followed up on in terms of the interactions between Bryan and Miz.
