Thinking bout it some more they could have probably just gone pure nickname and bought the rights to American Dragon off of him (like they did with CM Punk). Just go kayfabe a backstory saying he got the nickname from training in Japan. Anyway, he is still in FCW and its not like an FCW name will always move over to the WWE-real, in fact its beyond rare. Maybe they are just testing the water but the name just doesnt sound right. Id at least stick an "s" on the end for Daniel Bryans. Though after a few weeks it will be as normal as calling McGuinness as Wolfe or Sydal as Bourne. However in those cases neither name was their actual name so its easier to laugh off someone being pissed that they "changed his name".
Fwiw just watched Smackdown that is on tonight and it was pretty good. Everything is falling into place as expected and whilst it didnt promote the next PPV too well it did OK progressing towards the end goal of Mania.
Btw, im pretty certain the entire injury of Morrison is a work having seen it. It was a super standard move and his leg didnt twist under him or anything. I mean it would make more sense for Truth to be "injured" as a work to get HBK into the Elim Chamber, but meh, that is where my money is right now.
Oh, something that will annoy a lot of people (if you are like me anyway) is in tonights SD:
