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!

Top 5 Moments from The Walking Dead S8E11 “Dead or Alive Or”

Warning: this blog contains spoilers! What would be worse in a zombie apocalypse – going blind, or traveling with someone who put an arrow through your partner’s head? It’s a tough choice, for sure.   In “Dead or Alive Or,” we saw some characters struggling to stay alive while others struggled not to kill. But that doesn’t mean everyone made it out unscathed… Check out our picks for this episode’s top five moments! 05. Tara Spares Dwight – and it Pays Off Technically the first time she missed Dwight, but whatever. Dwight’s time with the Saviors means trusting him is a big risk, but Tara chose to spare his life.

Top 5 Moments From The Walking Dead S8E14 "Still Gotta Mean Something"

Warning: this blog contains spoilers! A man's word means a lot - but war can change everything.  The gruesome battle at Hilltop left people missing and POWs on the run. As the search ensued, we got some more backstory on enigmatic characters and iconic weapons alike. Here are our picks for the top five moments from this episode! 05. Jadis Cleans Up Well The triple-crossing trash queen showed a different side in this episode. Wearing normal clothes and revealing a spotless dwelling hidden in the heaps, she seems more relatable than ever. There's still something off about her, made obvious by her use of a weaponized walker/cart hybrid. Unfortunately, her well-kempt appearance wasn't enough to get the passing helicopter to land. 04. The Origins of Lucille All those "don't you touch her" lines finally make sense. While in the custody of Jadis, Negan revealed his beloved baseball bat was named after his late wife. By the sound of it, sh...
