WWE Rumors: Shane McMahon vs. Daniel Bryan Feud Coming?

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan haven’t been seeing eye-to-eye on WWE SmackDown Live lately, and it sounds like the two authority figures could be building to a feud.

For years, WWE fans have been subjected to the Authority’s incessant berating of its superstars on Monday Night Raw. At first, the storyline was intriguing, but it had more than run its course. That’s why fans were ecstatic when the brand split brought us a WWE show with two babyfaces authority figures in Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan – both of whom are loved and respected by the WWE Universe.

But lately, Shane has been acting out of line, and the fans are slowly starting to turn against him. He rightfully went after Kevin Owens, who insulted his family and injured his father, but Shane’s feud with Owens and Sami Zayn has gotten out of hand. The SmackDown Live commissioner is hell-bent on punishing the two, as he constantly puts them in difficult matches and recently put their careers on the line at Clash of Champions against Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura.

According to Cageside Seats’s Rumor Section, this could all be building to a feud between Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan. The latter has made it clear that he isn’t happy with Shane, whose “invasion” tactics during the build to Survivor Series left a bad taste in the WrestleMania 30 hero’s mouth. Furthermore, Bryan looked into the camera forlornly last week on SmackDown Live when Shane announced that he would be the special guest referee for the match that will have Zayn’s and Owens’s careers on the line.

Per Cageside Seats, even if Bryan isn’t cleared to wrestle Shane, the feud could still contain an actual wrestling match with somebody wrestling in Bryan’s place. Of course, fans will be itching to see Bryan returning to the ring. Either way, this is a feud that has been slowly burning for months (as is customary on the “Blue Brand”), and that makes it a WrestleMania-worthy program.
