Wrestlemania 35 season kick-started at the Royal Rumble on January 27th. This is the annual event that always sets the tone for the biggest event of the year. Seeds of the marquee feuds are also planted on this particular show. The creative tries to arrange the biggest possible feuds for us during this time which is the peak season.
Championship matches always remain a special attraction at Wrestlemania 35. Speculations start for a long time on which lucky challenger will get to face the champion. In case of WWE Raw, we do have some indications on who could become the contender for the Universal Champion. But that is not the case for the WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan.
At this point, rumors are going on trying to find out who could become his next challenger. AJ Styles could have been a valiant option but he already had multiple opportunities and is not likely to get more such chances in due course against the title-holder. Rather we expect a fresh opponent and might get it as per the recent reports.
Slice Wrestling gave an update stating that John Cena might be the one to challenge Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania. They will deliver one of the main event of the night over the WWE Championship. The match is currently under planning mode and not made official yet. Only time will tell whether we will be getting a future feud around these two.
Daniel Bryan turned heel in the month of November creating the possibility of having some brand new feuds. Names like Jeff Hardy or Rey Mysterio is still in the rumor mill to set up a new matchup. But WWE may not consider these two names in the main event level as of right now. So John Cena could be a good option for the champion who had just one match against him.
It happened back at Summerslam 2013 where Daniel Bryan defeated John Cena. This was the night where the latter one established himself as the big babyface in the entire WWE. Currently, the Cenation Leader plays the role of a free agent which allows him to compete on both WWE Raw and Smackdown. So technically, there should be any problem to set up this match.

Previously speculations suggested that John Cena will enter a storyline against Lars Sullivan. The debut of the behemoth NXT star was about to happen within the time of Royal Rumble. He was all set to target the franchise player to get his first Wrestlemania. But a sudden anxiety attack might have nixed the plans around him. So at this point, Daniel Bryan is most likely to get Cena as the new #1 contender.
