It is a real shame, but it seems like Daniel Bryan will never win a world title in WWE again.

Bryan was rumored to challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 37, but Edge will likely step up to The Tribal Chief. Bryan would have had a shot at winning the big blue belt. Instead, with his full-time career nearing its end, the Leader of the 'YES' Movement has focused on building new stars on SmackDown.

He has put Cesaro over multiple times and is setting him up for the push of his WWE career. Hopefully, that comes to fruition, and The Swiss Superman realizes his potential.

While Cesaro's chances of winning the world title are getting higher, Daniel Bryan's world title opportunities are decreasing. The window for Bryan's next world title run is getting shorter, which is a shame. Bryan's last WWE Championship run was excellent. He flipped the switch on his character and became an exaggerated version of his nature-loving self.

However, it would be a shame if Daniel Bryan did not win another world title as a babyface. He is yet to have a proper reign as a protagonist, with his time as WWE Champion in 2014 ending prematurely due to injury.
