5. Daniel Bryan vs The Miz Main Events a Pay-Per-View
Now we all know how heartbroken we felt when Daniel Bryan stood in that ring on Raw and told us all how he couldn’t wrestle anymore. We all know that when Bryan was announced as the GM of SmackDown Live that he would be a fantastic on-air face of the brand. We now all kind of get the feeling that we may yet see one more match from the leader of the YES movement, and it could be a mega match.
Bryan has arguably filled the GM role better than his counterpart Mick Foley has on Raw since the Brand Split in the summer. The Talking Smack talk show, which follows SmackDown Live every week, has been used to build characters and further story lines. One of the major success has been the ongoing feud between Bryan and Intercontinental Champion The Miz, a lot of which has played out on the show.
Both men have been outstanding in their roles during the verbal jousting. Bryan has become the man who doesn’t particularly want The Miz on his show, but knows his worth to the show all the same. Whilst The Miz has done his best to run down Bryan and criticize every little bit of Bryan’s career, all the time knowing how much of an asset he is to his brand.
It’s been quiet for a while between the two, but that only convinces me that we’ll end up with some kind of in ring confrontation between the two in the next twelve months. With Bryan having had his whole retirement, it may have to end up being an unsanctioned match. The WWE could refuse to let him wrestle due to doctor’s orders, only for Bryan to use his own doctors to give him the chance to put The Miz in his place.
There’s no doubt that the match could be used to build a whole pay-per-view around, with fans clamoring to see Bryan get one last send off in a WWE ring and hopefully get the better of The Miz.
