WWE SmackDown Live Results: What Is Daniel Bryan's Announcement?

It's the first SmackDown Live since Extreme Rules and the results of Sunday's show will be felt on the blue brand this week.

The big question heading into Tuesday's show is what announcement will Daniel Bryan make? Following his loss to the New Day - and dropping the SmackDown Tag Team Championships in the process - an upset Bryan came to a realization. To "save the planet" he needs to aim higher than the tag division. What he plans to announce is anyone's guess, but The Planet's Champion could be ready for another singles run and may revisit his great rivalry with current WWE Champion, Kofi Kingston.

Shane McMahon took a loss on Sunday to the Undertaker, but now that a couple of days have gone by the GM has decided to host a town hall meeting to allow the SmackDown Live superstars to list their grievances. Whatever happens, fans should expect to hear from Kevin Owens.

There are two scheduled matches tonight, both in the women's division. First, Ember Moon will take on both Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose. Moon was tasked with finding a tag partner but did she succeed? Or will she have to take on Fire and Desire alone?

Also, The IIconics will put their Women's Tag Team Championships on the line when they face Asuka and Kairi Sane, the Kabuki Warriors. Can Peyton Royce and Billie Kay escape SmackDown with their titles, or will a new reign begin?

Here's everything that happened on the July 16 episode of SmackDown Live.
