5 reasons why Shane McMahon will turn heel and Daniel Bryan won't

#2 The best heel authority figures are in-ring competitors

Triple H was a major heel on Raw between 2013-17

While there are some exceptions, the best WWE authority figures throughout the years don’t just talk the talk outside the ring, they walk the walk inside the ring, too.

Would the Mr. McMahon character have been so memorable if he was unable to compete against the likes of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels? And how would Triple H’s last four WrestleMania matches have been built if he held no power on Monday Night Raw?

If either Shane McMahon or Daniel Bryan turn heel, it will surely be the one who is medically cleared by WWE to compete – Shane O’Mac – in order to build more and more high-profile future matches between management and anti-authority figures.
