5 Potential Opponents to Defeat Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship

#4. Jeff Hardy

Bryan vs. Hardy would be a fantastic match

At Wrestlemania 33, we saw the return of Jeff Hardy to the WWE alongside his brother Matt Hardy as The Hardy Boyz won the Raw Tag Team Championships in a Fatal Four Way Ladder Match. Ever since then Hardy has clearly had a successful return to the WWE, as he has also won the United States Championship.

On November 27th, 2018, we saw Hardy celebrate his 20th anniversary of being in the WWE which is a huge feat considering the fact that he has been in the WWE longer than most superstars. The fact that WWE was willing to celebrate this in the ring signifies the fact that they are still very high on him.

And why wouldn't they be? He still receives solid reactions, and he still sells a ton of merchandise. He is a very useful asset for the WWE, which makes him a viable option to take the WWE Championship away from Daniel Bryan in what would definitely be a dream match.

However, The Charismatic Enigma is nearing the end of his career at the age of 41 so it makes things highly unlikely that he will defeat Bryan for the title. But at the same time, AJ Styles was at the age of 40 (now 41) and yet WWE had faith in him to let him hold the WWE Championship for 371 days. A third world title win would complete Hardy's comeback, and maybe the WWE could give him a long world title reign that we didn't witness from him during his last run.
