5 Reasons Why Daniel Bryan vs. Shane McMahon makes perfect sense for WrestleMania 34

The road to WrestleMania begins next month at the Royal Rumble, and so does the speculations about who should face who. The night at WrestleMania is usually packed with much-anticipated matches and this year is no different.

However, there is always one match who steals the show as well as the hearts of the fans worldwide. We believe it is the year when the “Yes movement” should take a “leap of faith”. Here are the reasons why:

#1 Change in the role of Shane McMahon

It's time for a change.

Shane McMahon has been the commissioner of SmackDown Live since a few weeks before the brand split in 2016. It has been a over a year since he is calling the shots at the Tuesday nights.

Shane has had only four matches since he assumed the control of SmackDown. Further, all these matches had their storylines articulated with his role as the Commissioner.

It’s time that his “role” should be on the line for this WrestleMania match.

We believe this would give him the opportunity to explore himself as a wrestler outside his current duties. This would definitely bring freshness to storylines as well.

Bonus:

Shane McMahon won his last singles match against Shawn Michaels way back in 2006.

#2 Shane McMahon has been the headliner at WrestleMania

Shane McMahon attempted a daredevil feat at WrestleMania 32.

For the last two years, Shane McMahon’s performance at WrestleMania had arguably stolen the show. Whether it was his match against the Undertaker or his match last year against AJ Styles, the SmackDown Live commissioner had left no stone unturned to make those nights a memorable one for the wrestling fans.

It would be ideal for the show-stopper of WrestleMania 32 and 33 to lace up his boots against the man who headlined WrestleMania 30, Daniel Bryan.

The "YES movement" was in the full force at WrestleMania 30.

Notably, Daniel Bryan beat Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista in a single night to become the WWE World Heavyweight champion at WrestleMania 30. Not to mention, these three legends cumulatively held 33 World championships.

This speaks volumes about the ring-capability of Daniel Bryan.

#3 Daniel Bryan’s willingness to compete

Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella from an interview last year.

Daniel Bryan is eager to be back in action for quite some time now. In his recent interviews, he mentioned that eight doctors have medically cleared him to be in the action again.

However, the decisive call rightfully lies in the hands of the WWE medical team.

Daniel Bryan accepted that he urged his wife Brie Bella to conceal about his condition. This helped him to continue what he loved more than anything else, wrestling.

With his passion, it will be really difficult to keep Daniel outside the squared circle once he is medically cleared to compete.

#4 Continuing Daniel Bryan’s run as a Babyface

The "Occupy Raw" movement was once in a lifetime moment for a wrestling fan.

Daniel Bryan has been the most loved Babyface in the last decade. His feud with Shane McMahon will not only advance his run but will also strengthen it.

It has been three years since he has competed in the ring, yet arenas echo with “YES” chants at his every appearance. This proves that loyal WWE fans are ready to accept him as their Babyface.

Hence, it is safe to say that letting him be the Babyface again is the safest bet WWE has had in the last couple of years.

#5 Determine the control over SmackDown Live

One man should run the place.

In the last couple of weeks, we have seen the tension building up between policy-makers of the Tuesday night show. It is happening slowly, but steadily.

Last week, the strain was felt over the issue of firing Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. In spite of his agreement, reluctance was felt at Shane McMahon’s end.

We believe it is indicating the time when there should be only one “King of the Jungle”. The match at the WrestleMania would provide the perfect opportunity to do just that.
