Daniel Bryan made it evident on last week's SmackDown that the Intercontinental Championship is the workhorse title in WWE. He urged the officials to give him an opponent in the semifinals instead of accepting a bye like AJ Styles. This development could be an indication that Daniel Bryan would bring back the Intercontinental Championship Open Challenge on SmackDown if he becomes the champion.

Like Drew Gulak, there are several under-appreciated Superstars on the Blue brand who can receive some deserving TV time because of this open challenge. Seth Rollins' open challenges in 2018 had improved Monday night RAW's quality by leaps and bounds. Daniel Bryan can do the same job for Friday night SmackDown.

The former WWE Champion can put his title on the line every Friday against the likes of Cesaro, Shinsuke Nakamura, Shorty G, King Corbin, Elias, Matt Riddle, or even the members of the tag team division like Kofi Kingston, Big E, Tucker, Jey Uso, Lince Dorado, and Gran Metalik.

Bryan is a great in-ring technician who could bring these Superstars into the limelight. WWE can also use the brand-to-brand invitational rule to bring over Superstars from RAW to challenge Daniel Bryan for the title. This move would make SmackDown an unpredictable show besides improving the quality of wrestling too.
