5 NXT dream matches for Daniel Bryan’s return
Daniel Bryan has been cleared to compete in a WWE ring once again, and you’re unlikely to find a single professional wrestling fan who isn’t happy with that news. The former WWE champion is returning to what he loves more than anything else, and as such, the endless discussion of ‘dream match’ scenarios have already begun.
But aside from SmackDown Live and Monday Night Raw, there are actually quite a few superstars down in NXT who would be fantastic choices to have a bout with Bryan in the near future. Of course, that’d require either DB going to Full Sail or Takeover for the night, or one of these guys being called up to the main roster.
Whichever way it needs to get done, WWE needs to oblige, because these potential showdowns would all be Match of the Year contenders.
With that being said, here are five NXT dream matches for Daniel Bryan’s return.
#5 Andrade 'Cien' Almas
It wasn’t all too long ago that fans and media members alike were resigning Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas to failure. His babyface character wasn’t working and for whatever reason, he just couldn’t seem to connect with the crowd. That all changed, however, once he was paired with Zelina Vega and he turned to the dark side.
Almas’ current run has been sensational, and it’s led him all the way to the NXT Championship. Plus, when you consider what he was able to do with Johnny Gargano at Takeover the other month, it’s unbelievably exciting to consider the possibilities of what could happen if he went one on one with The American Dragon.
