5 Potential Opponents to Defeat Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship

#1. The Miz

Miz would be the best option to become the next WWE Champion

Finally, at #1 on the list, we have none other The Miz. The Miz is currently embroiled in a tag team alongside Shane McMahon, but it doesn't seem like this tag team will last very long with the rumored Shane/Miz match at Wrestlemania 35.

The A-Lister is one of the most decorated superstars in the WWE today, as he is a former WWE Champion. He has also held multiple US, Intercontinental & Tag Team titles, and he also has the privilege of being able to say that he has been in the main event of Wrestlemania.

The Miz has so much history with Daniel Bryan, and we saw the two men involved in a heated rivalry in 2018. They exchanged victories over each other, but their rivalry in 2018 was very underwhelming as the WWE Universe was expecting something a lot more personal. We did see Brie Bella team up with Bryan to face The Miz & Maryse at Hell in a Cell 2018, but that was just about as personal as this feud got.

The back-story behind the revival of this feud was at August 23, 2016, when we saw an iconic moment on Talking Smack as The Miz lost the rails and he had pretty much cut his own version of a Pipe bomb on Daniel Bryan.

But fast forward to 2019, and the roles have now been reversed. The Miz is now currently a face, whereas Daniel Bryan is a heel. There are more stories to be told with both men having different alignments now.

This allows the opportunity for us to see a perfect rivalry, as the Talking Smack segment is the same kind of passion that we want to see from The Miz as a babyface. The storyline has the potential to change, as it began with The Miz not having faith in Daniel Bryan to succeed, with Bryan now not having faith in The Miz to be a great wrestler.

We have also yet to see a satisfying pay-off for this rivalry, due to the fact that Bryan had defeated Miz in their last match at WWE Super Show-Down in a match that only lasted 2 minutes and 25 seconds. This is a feud that needs to be rekindled so that it can end with a stipulation such as the Last Man Standing match or even a Falls Count Anywhere match

With Miz being long overdue a title reign for another world title, there wouldn't be a better option than The Awesome One to take the title away from the "New Daniel Bryan."
