What's Next For Daniel Bryan?
Off the back of the Becky Lynch injury, Daniel Bryan turned heel this past week on Smackdown Live. For some, this was unexpected. But for others, this was done simply to get our attention off of Becky Lynch vs Ronda Rousey, which was definitely entertainment done right, both ways. But we shift our focus, as one of the matches on the card at this year's Survivor Series is Daniel Bryan vs Brock Lesnar. Picking up the win, Bryan defeated AJ Styles to become the new WWE Champion, turning heel in the process.
AJ Styles was already somewhat of an underdog going into Survivor Series, now we have an even bigger underdog facing The Beast Incarnate this Sunday. Bryan and Lesnar are facing off for the first time ever inside a WWE ring. It is for that reason that most of us wrestling fans don't really know what to expect from this match. The pressure is on for Daniel Bryan. Will he be able to hold his own against Brock? Will he be able to use his technical abilities and make Lesnar limp out of the arena as AJ did?
Smackdown Live will never be the same. One thing's for sure, and it's that this is a nice change of pace for Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles, and the main event title picture moving forward. Daniel Bryan is the type of performer that can make anyone look great in the ring, so his title reign should be very interesting, to say the least.
AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan raise the bar every time they step into the ring together so it is believed that no one is exactly mad at the title change, but the outcome is surely interesting for an unknown reason. On another note, this ultimately leaves a big question in the minds of Daniel Bryan fans everywhere. What's next? He was feuding with The Miz not too long ago, and he had some issues with Samoa Joe last week. In both of those scenarios, he's the babyface. Who will he fight now that he's a heel? Besides the obvious choice in AJ Styles, who will most likely use his rematch clause very soon after Survivor Series, it will be interesting to see some of the matches WWE will get to stir up in the near future.
