Daniel Bryan is the biggest name on the WWE Smackdown roster. We can say this without a doubt even after considering AJ Styles on the show.
This is indeed the house that he built. But the former GM converted it into his show just after WWE doctors cleared him for in-ring competition. The miraculous comeback happened on the March 20th edition of Smackdown Live.
He went on to have a match at Wrestlemania 34 in just two weeks of notice. Shane McMahon teamed up with him to deliver a tag team match against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. The fans wanted him to see in the championship picture after that point. That did not happen for the most popular superstar of this generation.
We did expect a slow buildup for him after the return to the squared circle after a long time. But he always deserves the main event spot. The officials wanted him to put in the mid-card level. So he entered in a non-title feud against Big Cass from Wrestlemania onwards. Daniel Bryan also could not perform in the MITB ladder match.
Superstars like Samoa Joe or Rusev defeated him in a clean pin raised eyebrows of the fans. They are trying to find the answer whether WWE is putting a halt to his push. The most probable reason for it would be his contract. It is coming to an end in September. So the officials are not sure whether he’d not be available afterwards.
It looks like that the writers of Smackdown Live would not give championship opportunity to Daniel Bryan for now. He can avail the opportunity only after signing a new deal. Check out the updates from stillrealtous.com,
“On TV, Daniel Bryan has declared that he wants to be WWE Champion again, but it appears that company officials may be hesitant to push him to that level until he signs a new contract. One way or another the next few months will certainly be interesting for Daniel Bryan.”
Per sources: Daniel Bryan is still yet to sign a new deal with WWE. As such, the company are tentative with their plans for him moving forward.
