5 Possible opponents for Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 31

Daniel Bryans elimination at the Royal Rumble was responsible for the cancel network hashtag that trended all across the social media. The WWE universe wanted to see Bryan headline WrestleMania just like last year and could not believe when their hero was eliminated in some awful fashion.Now that Bryan is almost out of the WrestleMania main event picture, the next obvious task will be to find him a new opponent.Vince McMahon apparently has no intentions of giving Bryan a big championship angle for the pay-per-view so it will be apt for the fans to look into the upper midcard and beyond. There are a handful options available for the booking team and here is a look at the best names from the lot.

#5 A NXT Superstar

Bryan will not probably feature in a WrestleMania match that is driven by storyline but he could be in a match driven purely by wrestling. One of the reasons why Bryan has been kept away from the main event is because he is a wrestler rather than a superstar.

He does not have the looks of John Cena or the body of Hulk Hogan, but Bryan was born to wrestle and he could wrestle better than both the men. So the best option would be to let Bryan do what he does best.

And since the number of great wrestlers in the WWE main roster is limited, the writers should look down to NXT to find someone who could stand toe to toe with Bryan. Names like Finn Balor, Adrian Neville, Hideo Itami, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owen are known for delivering great matches with Bryan and one of them could steal the show at WrestleMania as well.
