#2 Should win - Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan is regarded as one of the finest wrestlers to have ever come out of the company. His record in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) and Ring of Honor (ROH) long before making it big in WWE proves that he is among the best in the business.
Bryan has had some of the best characters and most memorable matches in WWE, and he has remained an integral part of many storylines whenever he has actively been competing.
Injuries have taken a toll on the veteran over the past few years, and he’s already retired from the ring once before making a comeback a couple of years ago.
The former WWE Champion deserves a run with the Universal Championship too before he retires. Bryan has already revealed that he will only be competing for a few more years before he calls it a day.
With that in mind, Bryan should win the Universal Championship before he retires so that he can give a few newer stars the rub while holding the title and increase its value in the process.
