SDL Daniel Bryan question

[floundertime]

I don't really keep up with SDL to much cause of my schedule. But it looks like DB is wrapping up his fued with AJ. So as of right now, who do you think DB will face at WM. Who is a big enough face to go up for the championship?

Thanks for the replies in advance

Probably Wyatt tbh.

If not him I can see a multi-man ladder match with Styles, Orton, Joe, Ali and Wyatt.

I'm feeling like they're trying to rush Miz through Bryan's face character arc and the purpose of this Shane thing is basically being Miz's Team Hell No.

[Mister Pigwell]

I have no idea and was wondering that earlier myself.

I dunno what's going on in WWE right now but trying to get reacquainted with characters and allignments after a few months off and it seems to me there's a huge lack of babyfaces right now.

Get Bryan one more goon besides Rowan.

Have him continue his character.

Build Kofi as a serious contender.

Big E and Xavier neutralize Rowan and the other one while Kofi goes for Bryan and the title.

Conservation vs. Consumerism.

Would have prefered it via a Rumble win, but this can work out too still.

Rey is probably the biggest name and Bryan has talked about wanting to do a hair vs. mask match so they could some how do that.
Miz might work given their history but their would need to be a lot done during the upcoming weeks to even get to the possibility of that.
Jeff Hardy but given his health issues, who knows how long until he falls apart and needs time off.

After that I think you'd have to move someone from RAW
Kevin Owens as a face would be different and I think would work.
Sami Zayn, not feeling it but definitely possible.
Bray Wyatt, same as Zayn
Finn Balor, have Shane offer him a chance to compete in the EC after he saw what heart he had in the Brock match. I like that. Seems he is set for the IC though.

Rey would work, he's been doing tremendously, but part of me sees Rusev actually being a decent choice for who to face him.

I kinda hope Seth goes to Smackdown and challenges Bryan.

Seth/Bryan sounds like a way better match to me than Seth vs. Brock.

Also leaves Brock open for a Beast vs. Demon rematch.

but I really don't think that's going to happen.

I'd like that, too, especially since I think the Finn/Brock match was actually really damn good for what it was.

That is who I was forgetting, Rusev. He'd be a great choice and he is kinda floating right now, ignoring the Nakamura stuff which can be over by the time Elimination Chamber is up. He and Rey are probably the best options right now.

Yeah, he's got the credibility and the overness, plus he ended up pinning Bryan a bit back, so they could lean on that.

Rey is Rey, and obviously over and established enough to plug into a title program without any effort needed. Hell, if they wanted to, they could even say Rey earned Andrade's respect and have him take out Rowan if Rowan was trying shit in the title match.

[Some Guy]

I think it should be Rey and Andrade in a triple threat match personally, but I doubt they'd do it.

Bryan saying he wanted it explains why people bring up the hair vs. mask thing fairly often I guess, so learned that. That said... Yeah, I still think that idea is absolutely stupid. There's zero intrigue in it because Mysterio wins, and Bryan instantly looks like way less of a threat with short hair. He just plain can't pull it off. Not to mention it'd make this angle even more of a retread of the Straight Edge Society than it already is.

That said without that I am... open to the idea of Mysterio. I dunno, hardly dying for it because I really don't consider myself a Rey fan, but I can think of a lot worse options.

Thinking outside the box here, but what about Ali? It's not like the match is closing out the show or anything, and you can get a great match where he takes Bryan to the limit on the grandest stage while just barely coming up short. You could even use the inevitable rematch with Joe as a #1 Contender match.

I'm not hating that honestly. The Elimination Chamber is most likely going to decide the #1 contender and that's a good forum to put Ali over as being worthy of that spot. He's worked with Bryan already so you know the chemistry is there. Ali has a pin over Bryan that can easily be referenced. Ali going from the preshow challenging for the CW title last year, to challenging for the WWE title this year is a easy story to sell.
