10 Opponents Daniel Bryan Could Face in his WWE Return



HE'S BACK!

After more than two years off the active roster, Daniel Bryan has been cleared for an in-ring return.

No official date for a return match has been given and no opponent has been named, but that doesn't mean we can't speculate. We hope Bryan has plenty of matches coming up in his new run - ah, that feels good to say.

Here are ten wrestlers we'd like to see him face!

10. Baron Corbin

Bryan's time in a Smackdown managerial role saw him have words with Corbin on multiple occasions. It'd make for a good backstory if they fought, and it'd be a fresh matchup.

09. Kevin Owens and/or Sami Zayn

We put these two together because they've been a collective thorn in Bryan's side for months. Maybe he and Shane could team together and take on the duo of "Kami" in a tag match?

08. Roman Reigns

These two had a great match years ago on the road to WrestleMania, and it was Reigns who came out on top. We've got to think Bryan wants to avenge that loss.

07. Kurt Angle

Normally a battle between wrestling-show authority figures is groan-worthy. But these two are possibly the best technical wizards of their respective generations. Sounds like a great match.

06. Randy Orton

Orton was one of the men Bryan bested in the biggest victory of his career at WrestleMania 30. They've faced off plenty of times, but we wouldn't be against another showdown between the two.

05. Finn Balor

They've never faced off in WWE, but these two have similar frames and styles. Bryan has defeated vipers, kings, and big red machines, but how would he deal with a demon?

04. John Cena

Bryan's title victory over Cena in 2013 came at a time when Cena seemed unbeatable. These two never had a boring encounter, and it's likely they'd tear the house down again if given the chance.

03. Shinsuke Nakamura

Both of these men have put on classics from Japan to the U.S., but seeing them face off in a WWE ring would be one of the biggest fantasy matchups in recent memory.

02. AJ Styles

Styles and Bryan are arguably the two most popular wrestlers of this generation, and now it's possible the two could finally do battle in WWE. What a time to be a fan!

Honorable Mentions: 

Seth Rollins, Elias, Shelton Benjamin, Samoa Joe, and Kane 

01. The Miz

Miz and Bryan have traded barbs for months now, with Miz even stealing Bryan's moves! This rivalry has been building for so long, the payoff will be well worth the wait. Should they finally settle their issues in the ring? YES! YES! YES!

5 Ways All Out War Could've Been Better

Warning - this blog contains spoilers! As part of our celebration of the end of the war arc, we decided to look back and discuss how things could've been improved. If you've followed our coverage of season 8, you know we loved it! But even so, it doesn't mean things couldn't have been done differently. Here are 5 ways we think All Out War could've been better. 5. The Pacing Could've Been Sped Up Significantly Going by Maggie's lack of a baby bump, we can conclude the war took place over a much shorter period than many fans thought. From the beginning of season 7 with Abraham and Glenn meeting Lucille to the finale of season 8 with Negan being imprisoned, only a month or two could've passed at most . That's a pretty radical pacing change for a show that used to move things along quickly. Squeezing 32 episodes into such a short span helped us meet a lot of new faces and explore the bigger world the show is trying to focus on, but it also...

Uber Self-Driving Car Kills Pedestrian

On the night of March 18, a self-driving vehicle struck a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona. The woman was attempting to cross the street when the crash occurred, and passed away after being transported to a local medical facility. Though a driver using Tesla's advanced auto-pilot feature passed away in a 2016 crash , this marks the first known pedestrian fatality involving a self-driving vehicle. As a result, Arizona governor Doug Ducey has suspended tests of autonomous cars on the state's roads until further notice. Emails obtained after the incident suggest the governor was allowing Uber to test their vehicles in the state without informing the public. Uber executive Lior Ron has stepped down amid the controversy. Even business partners like Nvidia are distancing themselves from Uber because of the accident. The company is facing flack for reportedly removing several sensors from their self-driving vehicles prior to testing. Though Uber hasn't released an off...
