This is a bold prediction. But, at the same time comes with exciting possibilities which could shake things up at SmackDown Live for the better. Though everyone in the WWE Universe wants to see AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura, it does not mean it should be for the WWE Championship. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens are ruling the blue brand with their heel antics and have continuously delivered solid statements on why they deserve to be on the top of the food chain.
Now, there has to be no argument about Daniel Bryan's inclination towards the duo considering both of them are ceaseless victims of Shane's authoritative ideology. The duo is set to face 'The Phenomenal One' this Sunday and it would be an ideal decision to have 'The Leader of the Yes Movement' intervene in controversial fashion and assist Sami and Kevin in making history.
The fact that Bryan costs Styles the most coveted prize on the blue brand would not only frustrate Shane O'Mac but also could be a blockbuster inception of a return to the ring for the greatest wrestler of this generation. WWE has the potential to tell two stories with this match and if done right, then SmackDown Live could definitely overtake Raw on the lines of viewership.
