On Daniel Bryan battling Jeff Hardy in a match with huge Money In The Bank implications:

SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige has revealed that Big Cass is not cleared to compete after suffering an injury, which has led to a second chance at Money in the Bank qualification for two popular Superstars.

United States Champion Jeff Hardy came up short in the first of Team Blue’s qualifying matches against The Miz, while Daniel Bryan was defeated by Rusev in another qualifier. The winner of Bryan vs. Hardy  will take on Samoa Joe during the May 29 edition of SmackDown in a battle for the final spot in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

Who will get a second opportunity to qualify for Money in the Bank: Jeff Hardy or Daniel Bryan? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!

On The New Day joining The Miz on MizTV:

The New Day emerged victorious over The Bar last Tuesday in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match, which left the WWE Universe wondering one thing: Which member of the pancake-devouring trio will enter the melee on June 17 in Chicago?

One Superstar is vowing to get to the bottom of that mystery – The Miz. The A-Lister invited The New Day to join him on “Miz TV” tonight on a video posted to Twitter Friday afternoon, where he promised to get the exclusive on which New Day member will try and climb to new heights.

WWE cameras caught up with the four-time tag team champions shortly after. Kofi Kingston, Big E, and Xavier Woods accused The Mizof being a “wedge-driver” by trying to get between their bond of friendship, while explaining that they like the air of mystery surrounding their participation in Money in the Bank. After all, if one of them becomes Mr. Money in the Bank, they all do!

Will The Awesome One get the scoop, or will The New Day continue to play mind games with the Money in the Bank field?
