Your ideal Wrestlemania Opponent for Daniel Bryan

[543Y2J]

Similar to the Brock Lesnar one that I made, but this time with Daniel Bryan. Two choices of who you would ideally want him to face if you were booking at WM29. When choosing make sure to keep in mind match quality, effect on buy rates, story/build and the direction you would want his career to go in before and after the match (also where you would position his match on the card. Final Match? One of the main events? Opening match?)

A few more choices on this one compared to the other one. I have also added in Shawn Michaels into the poll for those who would want a teacher vs student storyline,Stone Cold for those who would want WHAT! vs YES!/ Badass vs Badass match and Chris Jericho. I didn't have enough room but you are able to bring in indy/japan stars who have history with DB for his opponent, just use other and then say who they are in the comments (Morishima, Strong, Generico etc). If you do use this try and make sure they have had a history of matches instead of indy talents that he has never faced him before, as you can reference their past together in the build

I want Ziggler v Bryan for the World Heavyweight Championship. So many layers to it here... career affirmation for Ziggler by finally conquering one of his greatest foes, redemption for Bryan after the 18 seconds thing, how AJ will figure into it as both Ziggler's current squeeze AND Bryan's ex.

Not to mention that it would be an AWESOME match.

I honestly am not bothered if Bryan is in a top draw match on the card. I just want him on the card and to actually have a match that lasts from 18 seconds to 10 minutes.

Ideally Id have him beat Ziggler for the World Title and rub it in AJ's face for costing him the belt last year. But most likely I can see him having a match with Kane.

I also wouldn't mind a Sheamus rematch since A. We didn't get our match last year and B. Bryan has never gotten his revenge.

The Rock.
It should be a great match, the promos could be even better and win or lose the feud should cement Bryan's position as a major star.
Bryan could also reestablish himself as a submission expert prior to the match which would give The Rock plenty of chance for a rest.

HBK would be great but I didn't vote for him as he's retired and a match with Regal would be better at another event.

[Rocket N. Nine]

Facing Kane at Mania would be a logical place to end the Team Hell No saga.

I just want to see Ziggler sell a Bryan kick.

[johnnytightlips]

He & Antonio Cesaro sounds great.

Wade Barrett and Cody Rhodes

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

Bryan vs. Barrett for the Intercontinental Title. Two higher level guys (than Kofi currently) who can give the IC Title the boost in prestige that it so desperately needs.

I don't see the point in doing Bryan vs. Kane since they were already feuding in the buildup to their team.

[AdamAFL was sooooo wrong]

Punk for the WWE Title would be ideal.

Couldn't make a decision on my secondary vote. Torn between him vs. Cesaro, him vs. Ambrose (never seen them 1-on-1, which has only happened once before IIRC) and him vs. Ziggler for the WHC.

[Deleted]

Either HBK or Cena, both matches would get a lot of time and be top notch wrestling matches.

[Andrew is Good]

HBK would be cool, but I'm a fan of him just staying retired and actually keeping his word. Sheamus was actually a great Wrestlemania opponent for him, but they botched that twice.

I would love to see Sheamus vs Cesaro and someone mentioned Cesaro. Punk talked in his DVD about the idea of Bryan vs Punk at Wrestlemania for the US title, but Punk that was a big drop for him (and it's not because of Bryan as he said Bryan was better then him, and of course, they feuded over the WWE Title this year). So Punk could be good, especially if they don't go the Taker direction and they have Bryan be very strong going into Mania.

This is my preference too. Plus Kane could go up against Big E Langston as another aspect of the angle.

Damn, that just made me think we're more likely to get a Team Hell No vs. Team AJ tag team match than see Bryan and/or Ziggler in the World Title bout. Especially if the rumor about Sheamus and Orton being the WHC match is true.

Cody Rhodes. It may not be the most significant thing for Bryan story-wise or card position-wise, but I'd like to see a lengthy one-on-one match between the two, without Kane or Sandow involved.

See Cody does nothing for me in or out of the ring.


I'd like to see him up against Ziggler FWIW.

[thelonewolf527]

The guy's not even gonna be in a top 4 match on the card so I doubt he'd get much time no matter who he faces

[KobashiChop]

Ziggler vs Bryan could be MASSIVE for both guys.

[xxshoyuweeniexx]

I feel like him vs Kane would be a good way to end the Team Hell No thing. They shake hands or something, Bryan embraces the Yes Chants fully, and they go their separate ways possibly teaming on and off if Kane ever needs a tag team partner.

[bearned]

Kane would be the most obvious choice. They have great chemistry and it would be a good way to end the tag team and move them on.

[KofiMania]

Him in the opener against Cesaro for the US Title would be the ideal spot for him.

[Hit Girl]

Jericho

With DB going over clean

He needs a starmaking singles victory at WM over a big name.
