WWE: 5 Bold Predictions for the SmackDown Live After WrestleMania 35
By John Brown
3. The Daniel Bryan/Miz Rivalry Will Be Rekindled
When Daniel Bryan became “new” I doubt he envisioned that it would be Kofi Kingston who would lead to his downfall. Since he can’t blame preservatives or fossil fuels, Bryan will be looking for someone to blame for his loss of Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania 35.
There would be nobody better to blame than The Miz, the man who got him to abandon his legions of fans by revealing how freeing it is to not play by the rules. His abandonment has become a distraction, and has distracted to the point of allowing a supposed B+ player in Kofi Kingston to get the belt.
After WrestleMania 35, Daniel Bryan will be a man without a country. The Miz is the man who ignited his banishment.
As wildly entertaining as his heel run has been, Daniel Bryan is a natural babyface. The Miz is a natural heel. This might be the feud that gets both back to their respective spots, with Daniel Bryan being the face that is too good not to respect, and Miz noticing that being righteous can get you a win over Shane McMahon, but won’t get you to the top permanently.
With the distraction of WrestleMania 35 coming to an end, both of these men will get the breathing room to reflect regarding the big picture of their careers.
