WrestleMania 35: Analyzing each Champion's chances of retaining their title at the PPV 

#8 Daniel Bryan (WWE Champion, Smackdown Live brand)

Daniel Bryan kicks Kofi Kingston in the chest on Smackdown Live

Real Name: Bryan Danielson

Years as a professional: 21 (ring general.)

Wrestling Style: Striking, submissions, and technical wrestling.

Daniel Bryan is one of the most unlikely success stories in WWE history. Much smaller than the typical muscle bound world champions of the past such as Hulk Hogan and John Cena,

Bryan won over the WWE Universe based upon his supreme in ring ability. The Yes movement changed the way that WWE books their championship matches for the better.

Bryan recently returned to in ring competition and unexpectedly turned heel, playing off of his hippie-esque roots and introducing an eco-friendly WWE Championship belt made of wood and hemp. Can he hang on to his beloved championship?

Chances of retaining his title at Wrestlemania 35: 50-50. Bryan is red hot as a heel champion, but it's all but a given that he will be taking the also red hot Kofi Kingston at the super show. With Kofi experiencing a ground swell of support, it could go either way for Bryan.
