WWE let us knew about when Daniel Bryan will defend his WWE Championship for the first time. He won it on the go-home edition of Survivor Series against AJ Styles. The former title-holder had a run with it for 371 days and deserves a rematch. It is mandatory after losing the title as per the contract. Hence this match is official on the WWE TLC PPV event. This event is the final WWE Network exclusive of the year 2018 on December 16th.
Original planning for Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania
The SAP Center in San Jose, California will host this event that might have this WWE Championship match as the main event. Considering the prime title will hang on the balance, the officials might add the Tables, Ladders and Chairs stipulation with it. This also marks the first PPV match between these two gem wrestlers. Hence, it should be an instant classic worth to remember for ages.
Meanwhile, the speculations have started about who would emerge the winner in this affair at WWE TLC. Most of the fans and sources think that Daniel Bryan will prevail to retain his championship. He has just won the title with a shocking heel-turn. Hence, taking the title away from him would destroy his character. So there’s no way that he is dropping the title, sooner.
Plus, SkyBet has revealed the ongoing betting odds for this match at WWE TLC. They declared that Daniel Bryan is a sure-shot winner. The initial betting odds put Bryan as a favorite to retain his title. Current odds stand at ¼ for the champion where the contender has 11/4 rates being the underdog. It hints that there are least chances for Style recapture his championship.
A major reason is that the contract of AJ Styles is coming to an end on 31st of December. He is yet to sign a new deal which could be a sign that he is leaving the company afterward. It is also the same reason why WWE is not giving much importance on him on Smackdown for sometimes. He was neither present at Survivor Series nor on Tuesday night following the show. The same condition might prevail for him unless he pens down the new deal. It’s just a way to slowly write him off TV programming.
