3 superstars who could dethrone the WWE Champion Daniel Bryan 

Daniel Bryan became the WWE Champion, and ended the historical title run of AJ styles who held the title for 371 days. Bryan is one of the top stars of the blue brand, and he is expected to hold the title for a long period of time. Bryan's current reign is his fourth as the WWE Champion.

Daniel Bryan became the WWE Champion on SmackDown Live a couple of weeks ago, and faced Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series. The size difference was evident between the two superstars, and it was considered to be an easy win for Lesnar.

However, Bryan gave an impressive performance at Survivor Series, and came close to defeating The Beast Incarnate. Lesnar won the match, but it was certainly a hard-fought match for the Universal Champion.

Bryan turned heel when he won the WWE title from AJ Styles. SmackDown Live lacked a captivating heel, and Bryan's heel turn has given the blue brand an awe-inspiring heel. He has been incredible after his heel turn, and it was certainly an audacious decision to turn him heel.

In fact, he was an exceptional babyface of the company, and his 'Yes Movement' was extremely popular.
