Bryan participated in the 50-man Royal Rumble match at the Greatest Royal Rumble event as the first entrant, lasting for 76 minutes—the record for longest time in a Royal Rumble match—before being eliminated by Big Cass in the final three. Bryan defeated Cass at Backlash on May 6 and Money in the Bank on June 17. On the June 26 episode of "SmackDown Live", Bryan was aided by Kane in a post-match attack from The Bludgeon Brothers, thus reuniting Team Hell No. At Extreme Rules, Team Hell No lost to The Bludgeon Brothers, after Kane was attacked pre-match with Bryan having to compete in a handicap match.
