With the Intercontinental Championship comes a line of challengers on SmackDown. Big E will have his hands full, with a talented roster looking to face him for the title. One of the biggest Superstars who would actively want the IC title is Daniel Bryan.

Following his victory over Jey Uso on SmackDown, Bryan will be entering the Royal Rumble Match. However, if he doesn't win, The Leader of the Yes Movement will need to remain in a prominent position in WWE. He is nearing the end of his full-time in-ring career and the company must use his talents as much as possible until then.

One of the most valuable spots Daniel Bryan could be in, right now, is opposite Big E. He has a vision for the Intercontinental Championship on SmackDown, which the fans would like to see get implemented. Even if he doesn't win it, he would elevate Big E's title reign by simply challenging him for it.

If neither man challenges Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship, Big E vs. Daniel Bryan would be an excellent IC title match for WrestleMania. It might be a true highlight of the show, as either man would make a great Intercontinental Champion and further elevate the stock of the title.
