Daniel Bryan and Mauro Ranallo to host the WWE Cruiserweight Classic

[trick]

What former World Champion will join Mauro Ranallo to host the Cruiserweight Classic?

It was five months ago when Daniel Bryan said his goodbyes to the WWE Universe, but now, the leader of the “Yes!” Movement is making his return to WWE television. The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion will be joining Mauro Ranallo to host theCruiserweight Classic this summer on WWE Network.

Ranallo brings a wealth of combat sports experience to the announcers’ table. In addition to serving as the voice of SmackDown, the Canadian has been one of the top play-by-play men in mixed martial arts, boxing and sports-entertainment.

Joining him as the color commentator is Bryan. As a Superstar who neared the 205 lbs. weight limit of the CWC throughout his career, Bryan made it his goal to defy those who deemed him too small to succeed on sports-entertainment’s biggest platform. The leader of the “Yes!” Movement did just that by capturing the hearts of the WWE Universe on his way to winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 30.

Bryan also brings a unique perspective to the announcers’ table, just months removed from his retirement as an active in-ring competitor. Not only does he know what it takes to make it with the WWE Universe watching, but Bryan is a contemporary of several CWC competitors. During his illustrious 16-year career, he trained with and competed against the likes of Brian Kendrick, Zack Sabre Jr., TJ Perkins, Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano.

Mauro & Bryan?


If Bryan likes the gig, he could go on to replace Graves on the NXT announcers table. Tapings once a month and helping out in the PC would be good for him

Mauro is excellent and Bryan is well traveled plus he has a midget perspective. I don't see an issue with this team. Should be lit.

Great to see Bryan back involved in wrestling

It would have been sad If dude vanished from wrestling completely when he has so much to offer
