WWE WrestleMania 35: 5 Possible Opponents for Daniel Bryan

NEW DELHI, INDIA - NOVEMBER 4: Bryan Lloyd Danielson, American professional wrestler, better known by his current ring name Daniel Bryan, after the press conference of the WWE Live India announcement event at Striker Pub & Kitchen, Vasant Kunj on November 4, 2015 in New Delhi, India. During an interview with HT City- Hindustan Times, Bryan talked about his first ever visit to India, saying, "I am thrilled to be in India. People like Bret Hart (Hitman), who have been my heroes, have always raved about their visits and so far my experience has been amazing. I visited a few places in Delhi on Tuesday, sat in an auto, and also visited a mall. The experience at the mall was out of the world, as thousands of fans were there to cheer for me. It is great to see how excited people are about WWE in India." (Photo by Shivam Saxena/Hindustan Times via Getty Images) /

4. Andrade

Many people would consider a match between Daniel Bryan and Andrade to be a dream match. It may sound unlikely that these two could square off in the near future given that Andrade is a heel and WWE don’t usually go for heel vs heel rivalries – especially heading into WrestleMania – but current reports suggest that WWE officials have plans to turn Andrade into a babyface in the near future.

While Andrade’s character is that of a textbook bad guy, it is not too hard to imagine a world with Andrade as a babyface. Even if he acts exactly the same way except for the babyface side of the fence, Andrade’s recent feud with Mysterio has elevated Andrade into a main event player. His match with the San Diego luchador on the Jan. 15 episode especially did a lot to win him some fans. It would not be too hard to make Andrade the de facto babyface in a feud with Daniel Bryan.

Of course, Andrade would be making a big jump from essentially being enhancement talent in 2018 to getting a WWE Championship match in his debut WrestleMania match. However, for starters, Shinsuke Nakamura did the exact same thing last year in his Mania debut so it is not hard to imagine. Add that to the fact after testing the limit with Rey Mysterio week after week, it’s not likely Andrade looks unfit for a main event title opportunity.

On top of that, we just think Daniel Bryan vs Andrade would make for a killer match that deserves a big stage. This could be that opportunity.
