3 ideas WWE Champion Daniel Bryan should use in 2019

The WWE Universe may still be undecided, but there's no denying that Daniel Bryan is doing everything in his power to make the fans boo him.

Low-blowing AJ Styles on the go-home SmackDown before Survivor Series, Bryan regained the WWE Championship, turning his back on the fans in the process.

Retaining over the Phenomenal One at TLC, Bryan's star is shining brightly as we enter 2019, with the former YES! Man showing no signs of dropping the title anytime soon.

But as we approach the new year, the company will need to make sure they keep Bryan fresh, with new and interesting ideas being crucial to stop the fans from going back to cheering someone who was at one point the most beloved babyface in the world.

Here are three ideas the WWE Champion should use to get some heel heat in 2019.

#3 Feud with the New Day

A feud with Bryan could finally give the New Day a main event push

This may be a weird one, but hear me out.

In recent weeks, Bryan has focused on being an eco-warrior, berating the WWE Universe for what he sees as their environmentally unfriendly attitude, and their wasteful lifestyles.

But in 2019, Bryan could turn this on the superstars, with the New Day being prime targets for the bearded champion, due to their food wastage.

With an approximate 150,000 tons of food wasted in the US each day, it wouldn't take much for Bryan to snap against the trio who for years have thrown pancakes and cereal around without a care.

Fans for years, the fans have been hoping to see Kofi Kingston enter the world title picture, and whilst he may not be the one to dethrone Bryan, this feud would be very entertaining.

#2 Start a size complex

Bryan's first feud after returning was against Big Cass, with the 7-footer mocking Bryan for his size

When Daniel Bryan shockingly returned from his retirement in 2018, his first major feud came against the 7-foot tall Big Cass.

The beef between the two focused primarily on Bryan's height, with the former WWE Superstar criticising Daniel for being over a foot shorter.

But in 2019, it would be incredible to see Bryan develop his own big-man complex, perhaps berating anyone and everyone he perceives smaller than him.

Mustafa Ali who only recently joined the SmackDown Live roster would be a great target here, despite the two being roughly the same height.

Bryan could even say he's metaphorically bigger than all the other stars (no doubt due to his eco-friendly way of life), and with Bryan's acting chops, this could easily blur the lines between comedy, and derangement.

#1 Bring back the WWF

Bryan could make a big change as WWF Champion

No, I'm not saying that Bryan would be the one to turn WWE back to the Attitude Era, where blood flowed like a river.

Instead though, Bryan could christen himself the WWF Champion, instead referring to the World Wildlife Fund, who sued the WWE in 2002, forcing them to change their name.

This change would really hammer home Bryan's eco-warrior ways, as well as be a fun nod to a time gone by, with Bryan hoping his time as WWF Champion would convert fans to a more eco-sustainable way of life.

Of course, this could only happen if the WWF got on board with it, and whilst it would be a good way for them to promote eco-friendly living, it's difficult to say whether the foundation would be open to being portrayed as the heels in front of millions of fans.
