#2 Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles

How about running back one of the best matches of the year in WWE? AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan put on a MOTY candidate and the best WWE TV match of 2020 on the June 12th edition of Friday Night Smackdown. A forty minute clinic in professional wresting showed the WWE Universe why Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles have long been known as two of the best wrestlers in the world long before their time in the company. These two men have tore it up for the ROH World Championship, WWE Championship and now the IC Title. One more match would be a tremendous addition to the Summerslam card.

Daniel Bryan has been one of many WWE Superstars who has been absent from WWE TV during this ongoing global pandemic.

Bryan has been an outspoken Superstar who has sat out of the more recent trips to Saudi Arabia, so it came as no surprise when he chose to sit out during these times.

The former WWE Champion has made headlines most recently due to a reported promotion of sorts contributing to WWE creative.

With this new position, SmackDown has seen more underutilized talent get more opportunities including against AJ Styles for the IC Title, which has been something Daniel Bryan has long pushed for in the company.

A Bryan vs Styles rematch has been something that's talked about a lot since their SmackDown classic.

It is certainly a match that every fan would love to see again. With the added prestige of WWE Summerslam, AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan would be a candidate for match of the night for sure.

Although they may not get the 40+ minutes they got during their SmackDown encounter, Styles and Bryan would surely put on quite the show at Summerslam.

However, with Bryan sitting out due to the pandemic, there is one more likely WWE Superstar who has seen a boost in momentum and a new story developed due to his tag team partners being out that could push him to this IC Title Match at Summerslam.
