4 Reasons why Daniel Bryan will challenge The Fiend for The Universal Championship at Survivor Series

#2. Daniel Bryan can withstand a loss

Daniel Bryan has been in a strange position in recent weeks

It's become quite evident over the past few months that WWE is wanting to push The Fiend as much as they possibly can, which means that it's highly unlikely that Daniel Bryan will be coming out on top at Survivor Series to win his first Universal Championship.

Seth Rollins took the loss and has been forced to find himself over the past few weeks, but Bryan is already in a place where he has no direction. This means that he could easily take the loss to The Fiend at Survivor Series before he decides what his next step will be.

Bryan is coming off the back of a feud with his former Tag Team partner and a strange alliance with Roman Reigns, so moving into the main event picture for the first time in a number of months could be a good move for Daniel Bryan. As well as the fact that a win over the Universal Champion would only further establish him as the new face of, not only Friday SmackDown, but WWE as a whole.
