Daniel Bryan put his WWE championship on the line back at Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. It was perhaps the toughest title defense of his reign, to date. But he overcame all the odds to come out of the structure with the title shining around his shoulder. This made his strong status intact over on Smackdown.
But he did not expect to get some free times following Elimination Chamber. We have received confirmations about WWE putting him through another title defense at Fastlane. The name was about to be revealed on last night’s episode of Smackdown. That’s exactly happened on the show confirming the next WWE Championship match.
Speculations were running rampant predicting who will be the next contender for the WWE Championship. Five prime names those are Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy, Kofi Kingston, Samoa Joe, and AJ Styles were unable to take the title away from him. Hence, we expected someone new against him at Fastlane. Well, the announced lineup is indeed somewhat fresh for the WWE Championship that the fans wanted to see.
