#3. No World Championship plans for Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan had yet another solid match with The Fiend. He's one of those generational talents that can have a great match with anyone and he looked great even in defeat. Just like last time, the storytelling of the match was fantastic and they went even longer this time around than at Survivor Series 2019.

Strap matches don't have a history of being great and we're glad that there was no stipulation that they had to touch all four corners like before. Bryan came close on many occasions during the match but it wasn't enough and he wound up losing once again.

After the match, he was helped out and got huge "Yes!" chants as he brought the "Yes!" movement back in a big way. Unfortunately for Daniel Bryan, there are no World Championship plans for him this WrestleMania 36. He was a great heel last year, walking in as the WWE Championship and being one of the big reasons for KofiMania's success.

It'll be interesting to see what lies ahead for him.
