4 possible feuds for Daniel Bryan after The Miz

Since returning to in-ring competition at WrestleMania 34 earlier this year, Daniel Bryan has been in an embattled feud with The Miz, facing the A-Lister at both Summerslam in singles action, and at Hell In A Cell in a mixed-tag-team match.

Both times, Bryan has come up short, with a third match scheduled to take place at WWE Super Show-Down in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. This number-one contenders match will presumably be the final match in their story, as whoever wins will be moving on to the WWE Championship.

Here are 4 feuds for Daniel Bryan after he is done with the Miz.

#4 Shinsuke Nakamura

A still-retired Bryan referees a match between Nakamura and Kevin Owens.

The United States Champion has been left without an opponent, since keeping the title from former champion Jeff Hardy over the summer.

On SmackDown Live this week, WWE's rockstar defeated Rusev, with the Bulgarian Brute looking at feuding with former friend Aiden English.

Bryan could make a perfect opponent for Nakamura, with both men being known for their incredible skills both before and after joining the company.

#3 Randy Orton

Orton cowers before a kendo-stick wielding Bryan on a March 2014 episode of RAW.

In recent months, Randy Orton has gone to a new level of sadistic, utterly destroying Jeff Hardy at WWE Hell In A Cell.

Orton has some very legitimate claims to a shot at the WWE Championship, and feuding with the beloved Bryan could easily make those claims stronger.

Imagine how evil the Viper would look, if he not only destroyed the Charismatic Enigma, but the YES! Movement leader as well.

#2 Shelton Benjamin

Bryan and Benjamin are both former Intercontinental, United States and Tag Team Champions.

Since returning to the WWE last year, the career of Shelton Benjamin has been a tad, underwhelming.

Benjamin, a former Tag Team, United States and Intercontinental Champion has been seldom used since returning, teaming with Chad Gable as a replacement for Jason Jordan, before Gable was drafted to RAW earlier this year.

Feuding with Bryan could reassert the All-American as a legitimate contender, and keep Bryan's momentum going if he is to lose to the A-Lister for a third time, in Australia.

#1 AJ Styles/Samoa Joe

Joe and Styles have clashed over the Summer for the WWE Championship.

So far, the three feuds presented have all been under the assumption that Bryan loses the number one contenders match at WWE Super Show-Down, and that The Miz would face the WWE Champion.

However, if Bryan wins, he will finally re-enter the World Championship picture, which he left in 2014 after relinquishing the title due to his first set of injuries.

It's hard to tell who fans would rather see Bryan feud with, between current champion AJ Styles, and challenger Samoa Joe.

A feud between the Phenomenal One and Bryan would definitely be worth watching, as the two have shown that a champion does not need to be 6'6'' and 350lbs to be a success in the company.

However, if Joe is to win the title, a feud between the two could be interesting, as a real David Vs Goliath battle would begin, with the scrappy smaller Bryan trying to pry the coveted title away from the Samoan Submission machine.
