As seen on this week’s SmackDown, King Corbin declared himself to be the self-proclaimed challenger for the Universal title. But WWE officials handed opportunity to Daniel Bryan and The Miz, as well as they, earned the opportunity, as well, (courtesy WWE.com)
“All three Superstars have a unique reason to challenge the monstrous titleholder. For Bryan, a potential showdown would be about retribution after he was dragged to the depths of hell by “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt several weeks ago.

For Miz, losing at WWE TLC left The A-Lister with an unresolved thirst to get even after his family was targeted by Wyatt. For King Corbin, it’s a simple case of what he feels he deserves after he defeated Roman Reigns in a TLC Match at the final pay-per-view of 2019.”

As reported earlier, Daniel Bryan is the supposed challenger for The Fiend at Royal Rumble 2020 since he is already in a feud with him. Sources have indicated that Bryan will have a ‘blow-off’ match with the demonic persona.
This is the reason why Bryan vs. Fiend was halted for WWE TLC pay-per-view so that the marquee match can be reserved for Royal Rumble. So the leader of the YES nation is a clear favorite to win the match on SmackDown, next week.
