King: Why Daniel Bryan Deserves The Main Event Of WrestleMania 37

A few weeks ago on Friday Night SmackDown, Daniel Bryan earned a Universal Championship match against “The Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns at WWE Fastlane. This came after Bryan defeated Reigns’ cousin Jey Uso in a hard-hitting steel cage match.

Bryan has been on a roll lately, competing against the likes of Cesaro, Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler. The former World Heavyweight champion is very familiar with the odds stacked against him, after his triumphant victory at WrestleMania 30. Bryan fought valiantly against “The Authority” for almost a year before finally winning the title. Sadly, his title reign was cut short due to health concerns, and Bryan was forced to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship.

Sadly, Bryan’s run was cut short and he was forced to retire in 2016. He would eventually make his long-awaited return to the ring just in time for WrestleMania 34. Bryan would eventually win the WWE Championship again and drop it to Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania 35. Since then, Bryan has stayed outside of the main event scene and worked with other superstars.

On an episode of Talking Smack, Bryan stated that this might be his last run as a full-time performer in WWE. He also mentioned that he wishes to main event WrestleMania one final time, so why not have Bryan added to the main event of this Mania for the Universal Championship? Bryan’s Yes Movement back in 2014 was unbelievable to watch, and I believe its success warrants Bryan a chance to make history once again.

Throughout his WWE career, Bryan has always been a workhorse for the company. He has done the “honors” for up-and-coming superstars such as Kofi Kingston, “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt, and most importantly Roman Reigns back in 2015. At the 2015 Fastlane pay-per-view, Bryan faced Reigns in a terrific main-event with the right to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line. Despite the WWE Universe’s support, Bryan unselfishly lost to Reigns.

Back then, the WWE Universe was not behind Reigns as the top guy in WWE, and they made sure the company knew by their loud boos. Currently, “The Tribal Chief” reigns supreme as the Universal Champion on the road to WrestleMania 37. While the 2021 Royal Rumble winner Edge anxiously waits for his title shot, many things could happen.

We could see Bryan capture the title Fastlane or be added for a Triple Threat; but any way you cut it, Daniel Bryan deserves the main event of WrestleMania 37.
