5 Potential Opponents to Defeat Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship

#3. Shinsuke Nakamura

Nakamura is a former US Champion

We have The King of Strong Style at #3 on the list. Shinsuke Nakamura has had a very decent run on the Smackdown Live roster so far, as we have seen him become the 2018 Royal Rumble winner as well as become a US Champion.

He is currently embroiled in a rivalry with Rusev which could potentially lead to another US Championship match, but it's likely that he won't win as Rusev had only just defeated him for the title.

Nakamura is currently a heel, so in order for him to be in contention to face Daniel Bryan, he would have to have a babyface turn, but that is something that could be easily done to create another dream match. Nakamura has proven that he could be successful as a face before, as seen on NXT where he held the NXT Championship twice.

We haven't seen the best of Nakamura on the main roster in terms of wrestling, but with the McMahon Family promising a chance for change maybe we will see Nakamura be allowed to compete with his strong style of wrestling, something that the WWE Universe has been yearning for ever since his debut on the main roster.

The Artist has yet to win a world title on the main roster, but he has come very close following his feud with AJ Styles, which lasted a very long time. There is no doubt that Nakamura would be a great option to take the title away from Daniel Bryan, as it could lead to a fantastic match between two of the best superstars on Smackdown today with Nakamura finally gaining the WWE Championship.
