Clash Of Champions saw some major tension teased between Daniel Bryan & Shane McMahon. With the way that the match ended, there are a ton of ways that WWE can go next.
Let’s speculate on Daniel Bryan’s future after Clash of Champions. Here are some potential scenarios.
Scenario 1) This is leading to Shane McMahon vs Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania 34.
Evidence:
- Daniel vs Shane has become the biggest feud on Smackdown Live. Would WWE spend all of this time building the Shane and Daniel storyline for this to have no payoff?
- Daniel took a (very small) bump at Clash of Champions when Owens pushed him into Shane. I know it wasn’t much but with the issues that Daniel has had in the past, why would WWE greenlight Bryan to take a bump if he wasn’t cleared to return to the ring? Maybe that is being a bit too hopeful but it was very interesting to see Daniel get physical, even if it was a small moment.
- Bryan has also been adamant in interviews that he has been cleared by multiple doctors outside of WWE. Maybe he finally convinced Vince?
Scenario 2) The Shane vs Daniel Feud Won’t Have An In-Ring Payoff. Bryan ends up getting fired or someone wrestles in his place.
Evidence:
- WWE has been adamant about not clearing Bryan to return to the ring. Bryan has clearly had a lot of issues in the past with his health and WWE would want to avoid anything happening to him under their watch.

- We have seen this before with Daniel Bryan. Remember his awesome feud with the Miz last year? It never led to an in-ring payoff and could be a similar situation here.
In this scenario, we would get someone wrestling in the place of Bryan against Shane. Or, this would lead to the firing of Daniel Bryan, in order to remove him from weekly television.
What do you think will happen? Let us know in the comment section below.
i would have to go with option 1 but then again there was a rumor he would wrestle at summerslam.
