#1 A big portion of the WWE Universe wants Daniel Bryan to win gold
This is an important reason because a lot of fans love Daniel Bryan. It may not, however, mean as much in the scope of things when it comes to the decisions of WWE Creative.
As seen with wrestling, the ability to alter plans is often necessary. That is what happened at WrestleMania 30 when Bryan defeated Triple H to open the event. He would then topple both Randy Orton and Batista in the main event to become Champion.
A huge reason why Reigns was rejected as winner of the 2015 Royal Rumble was because Bryan was a heavy favorite entering the match. Rather than remaining in the match for long, he was eliminated halfway through the Royal Rumble without much fanfare.
When the Rock couldn't salvage the crowd reaction, it was a huge sign that something would have to be altered during that run to WrestleMania.
He would get a shot at Fastlane that year, but nonetheless still fell to the Big Dog. Bryan did get his moment at the top of WWE on the way to WrestleMania 30 as he won the first and last match of the event.
Fans have always been behind Bryan because he's easy to root for due to his work ethic, dedication, and respect for the business. He seems like he could be your neighbor rather than a jacked up performer standing in the mold of John Cena.
WWE needs relatable characters and Daniel Bryan is as relatable as it gets for some of the WWE Universe.
The Yes! chants are usually the loudest chants in any arena. During this current era without substantial crowds, the audience response to Bryan is among the loudest. Fans are still behind Daniel Bryan because it's hard to argue against his rationale for challenging for the Universal Championship.
Bryan has often worried about the whole of WWE rather than himself, so his current reasons for deserving another shot are logical. If he didn't receive a fair shake at a title match, another shot is warranted.
WWE sometimes listens to the fans and sometimes does not. This is a time when WWE should listen to the WWE Universe and crown Daniel Bryan Universal Champion within the next few months.
