Daniel Bryan made headlines over the past several days after he refused to work the WWE Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia. Bryan ended up losing to AJ Styles via submission for the WWE Championship on Smackdown.
So what is next for Bryan? Let’s speculate a little bit.
I think that since Bryan lost clean to Styles, it is probably safe to assume that he will be out of the WWE Championship picture over the next little while. In my other article, I speculated that the Miz will be the one to challenge Styles next. That would mean Bryan needs a fresh feud for the next month or two.
I actually think that Bryan is going to end up feuding with Samoa Joe. It would make sense since both of them recently lost clean to Styles. Some seeds were also planted for this one on Smackdown, where Joe attacked both Bryan and Styles after their match.
I think that a feud between Joe and Bryan could be a lot of fun. Both guys are incredible in the ring and I am sure this is a match that a lot of fans would love to see. My guess is that it happens at the TLC PPV event.
I do think that Samoa Joe will end up winning though. The man needs some momentum after losing a few times to Styles. I also think Bryan is in the WWE doghouse for skipping the Crown Jewel event.
That is my guess on how it will go. How would you feel about a feud between Daniel Bryan and Samoa Joe? Let me know in the comment section below.
