Kane and Daniel Bryan vs. Bludgeon Brothers Announced for WWE Extreme Rules 2018

In a shocking turn of events, Team Hell No reunited Tuesday night on SmackDown Live when Kane came to the aid of Daniel Bryan to help fight The Bludgeon Brothers.

SmackDown Live general manager Paige then announced Team Hell No will challenge for the tag team titles at Extreme Rules on July 15:

When it became clear Bryan was on a collision course with The Bludgeon Brothers, many wondered who the former world champion would call upon to help even the odds.

Kane is an excellent choice, both because of his history with Bryan and the fact he can be a solid transitional tag team partner before The Beard inevitably moves on to something else.

Previously, Team Hell No was routinely a highlight of WWE's weekly programming. Fans will enjoy seeing that dynamic again.

At the same time, watching Team Hell No wrestle at Extreme Rules and potentially SummerSlam will be more than enough to satiate the need for nostalgia. SmackDown Live doesn't need a lengthy tag title run for Bryan and Kane, the latter of whom is only working on a part-time basis.

Ultimately, fans want to see Bryan win another WWE Championship. Putting him back with Kane is a good diversion to buy time before he can realistically challenge for a world title again.
