5 Potential Opponents for Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35

#4 Mustafa Ali

Mustafa Ali

The former 205 Live Star has made a huge impact ever since moving to SmackDown in late last year. The Chicago-native already has a pinfall victory over Bryan in a tag team match and has been a part of some great matches on the blue brand. Ali was recently inserted in the six-man Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship at the eponymous pay-per-view. But it was reported last night by Frightful.com that Ali has been working through a tailbone injury and could be pulled out of the Chamber match. This is really heartbreaking considering the wave of momentum that Ali had behind him and this being the biggest match of his career.

But, we believe that this injury couldn't come at a better time for Ali. Daniel Bryan is excepted to retain the WWE Championship at the Chamber and Ali would surely have been one of the first men to be eliminated. Being taken off the match gives Ali the chance to get back at Bryan with whom he holds a 1-1 record.

WWE has come under the scanner for its failure to make future stars. With Ali, the company has shown its intent to bet on a future and we believe that couldn't be better starting point than WrestleMania for this project to finally take off. Ali had an incredible match against Cedric Alexander at last year's WrestleMania. Ali Vs Bryan is a match has classic written all over it.
