5 reasons why WWE needs Daniel Bryan
Bryan’s fairytale run saw him win the WWE World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania 30Last year’s WrestleMania witnessed something magical unfold. In professional wrestling, there are very few instances where a fairytale esque storyline plays out. There is a reason why the Randy Savage – Ms. Elizabeth relationship, especially their on – screen marriage proposal and the wedding has become iconic, and is still remembered by fans today, years after both of them passed.The feel good factor is something that is lost in professional wrestling and the WWE, but last year, something remarkable happened. The last time the fans got emotionally invested in a superstar, he became the biggest superstar in the history of the business, and his name is Stone Cold Steve Austin.After Austin, the only other superstar who managed to captivate the audience and made them care about him is Daniel Bryan. Whether it is because of his average Joe physique or because Bryan is in fact one of the nicest people you could meet, the fans started caring about Bryan’s character.Although he wasn’t in the main event scene back in 2013, the WWE fans identified themselves with Bryan, and by the summer, he became a bona fide main eventer in the company.Unfortunately for Bryan, he injured himself soon after winning the WWE World Heavyweight title, and since then, the WWE management and especially Vince McMahon have been skeptical about bringing Bryan back.Although WWE always takes a cautious approach when it comes to injuries (taking examples of Austin and Edge), they might have to rethink about Bryan’s situation. With the likes of Cena and Seth Rollins taking time off due to injuries or otherwise, WWE now has to fill a huge void, and the one person who can do that is Daniel Bryan.In this article, we give you five reasons why WWE needs Bryan back.
#5 Thin roster and a lack of star power
With the likes of Cena, Rollins and more recently, Cesaro being written off TV, WWE’s top talent has thinned down considerably. Although Cena is set to return by the end of the year, WWE still has to deal with the fact that their star power has decreased considerably in the last decade.
Now with The Undertaker and Sting rumored to retire next year, and with Brock Lesnar working limited dates, WWE needs Daniel Bryan now more than ever.
With Bryan’s doctor clearing him for competition, Bryan is still waiting for his final consultation with the WWE doctors, and the WWE management will take a final call about Bryan’s in – ring career.
However, with Bryan being the only superstar who could bring more eyeballs to the product, it would be wise on WWE’s part to let Bryan compete in the ring.
