What Happens To Daniel Bryan If/When He Loses The World Heavyweight Championship?

[PunkTruster91]

I think really he will drop it then seriously gain it back and start proving himself. He isnt believable right now. Im sure WWE wants him to be, because he is a good wrestler. But the fact is he wasnt ready for that title not with the other fish that were in the pond at that time. He does deserve that belt, but he doesnt deserve to be a joker champion like he is. and if that doesnt happen he will most likely he will drop off for a little while. He is a good wrestler, entertainer not so much. Which sucks because if he was better on the mic and in front of the camera, he would be awesome.

Im not so sure he drops the title at WM. He has the potential to be a monster heel.

I would like to see AJ get involved. Have Sheamus feel bad for her, only to have her help D Bry cheat and get the win. I would just love to see him screaming YES YES YES in front of 60,000 plus people and little innocent AJ turn.

My thinking is the Bryan drops the title just so the WWE universe can pop and be happy. Then Im thinking Sheamus drops the title right back to him at the next ppv.

Who knows? Buts Id really like to see Bryan keep building momentum cus he is far from reaching his full potential yet

Daniel Bryan's run has been a good one, he outsmarted Henry and Big Show, i hope he retains vs Sheamus too. He should hold the title until they are ready to put it on Cody Rhodes, after he loses he will remain in the Main Event. The question should really be who else is gonna join him in the main eventers, there are only 4 full time main eventers on the roster, the 2 champs and Cena & Orton.

Daniel Bryant reign as WHC I think will continue past WM. Don't see him droping it to Shemus I mean Shemus lol. His in ring skills is one best today, great on the Mic really knows how draw heat from crowd. and also I think he is carrying Smackdown brand on its sholders. Shamus to me just not a champion I think it will be better if Daniel wins and Shamus goes on challenges IC champ who ever it is after WM.

 

[The Eighties]

He's got a shot at holding on to the belt beyond Mania but I actually think he'll move in the draft to Raw after dropping it to Sheamus. He's got the most heat on any heel wrestler on the roster right now and I can see him working with Cena and Punk this year.

Hopefully after he loses the title he goes back down to mid-card and out of the WHC title picture for good.

Maybe I wouldn't have as much of an issue with it if the title wasn't called the World HEAVYWEIGHT Championship and Daniel Bryan didn't look like an 8th grader who got hit hard by puberty. Maybe if the just called the title the World Championship then the title wouldn't appear to have a weight class requirement.

And maybe if Daniel Bryan wasn't jobbing and losing hardcore to legitimate heavyweights like Mark Henry just weeks before cashing in MITB to steal the title away I wouldn't have as much of a problem with Daniel Bryan as World Heavyweight Champion.

So... when he does lose the championship... well I guess he'll get his rematch...which he shall lose... and then he should go back to mid-card doing a very good job of jobbing to bigger and better Superstars.

He is right....
Great Khali or Mason Ryan for the World Heavyweight Title.

And why is Santino Marrella the UNITED STATES Champion.He isn't from USA.Hulk Hogan for the United States Championship.The Real American.

Hey mate.Let me tell you a HUGE secret.This is wrestling not MMA.In wrestling weight divisions have been vanished for years.

The sad thing is Daniel Bryans entire persona revolves around the WHC I mean that's where he got his sneaky win at any cost attitude from. Once he loses the title what will he have? What will he do? How can he keep his persona going? I mean sure he can continue to weasel his way out of matches and win via DQ but is it really as good if he isn't retaining the WHC??? In my opinion, not really. Creative had better start coming up with something for him.

I mean in essence he is one of the WWE's top heels and they can't afford to lose a lot of their more important top heels/faces for that matter. But if he isn't retaining the title his character is losing lot's of steam. Which would mean he may very well need to be repackaged once he loses the title or else Daniel Bryan may be hitting a wall here.

Of course i could be over thinking it a little bit and he could just go into a feud with someone after the draft. I mean my prediction is they do a 4 match plan for Sheamus/Bryans which would see the feud end at money in the bank. I'm thinking after MITB he will go into another feud with one of the face's that come over to smackdown after the draft pick (whenever/if that happens this year).

In other words Daniel Bryans could be in trouble, but, at the same time he could still be golden. But only time will tell. I'm personally rooting for him though.

Daniel Bryan's reign is almost exactly like Kurt Angle's first reign.

Angle went on to be one of the WWE's top guys for years. With one of the highlights before leaving the company was retaining the Championship defeating the Undertaker clean in one of the most still talked about WWE matches of the last decade.

If we follow the Kurt Angle timeline, Kurt went from losing the belt to the Rock and then having a blistering rivalry with Beniot. Bryan could very well do the same, this time get drafted to Raw perhaps and have a big time feud with someone like Punk for example.

I think it makes good business sense to continue to the Daniel Bryan push, with or wthout the title, I think he has become a major player (on SD! anyways) and has done a stellar job. His reign has been 10x more entertaining than the Miz's or many title reigns... even Punk's to be quite honest.

 

[Galvatron]

I much as I want Bryan to retain against Sheamus, I see little to no chance of him winning at Wrestlemania. Sheamus will win at Mania, then he will win the rematch at Extreme Rules and maybe Over the Limit too or whatever it's called now if they have a third match. Bryan's huge push has only happened for the sole purpose of putting Sheamus over because that's who Vince/Triple H see as their next big face. I have watched Vince's booking way to long to think Bryan winning is even 1% possible. I really hope he stays on smackdown because he will get BURIED on raw. I would like to see him feud with Orton after he is done losing repeatedly to Sheamus.

That's true, and I never thought we'd see the day when it would be. So many performers are better when they're chasing the title rather than holding it..... and then along comes Daniel whose entire persona seems to revolve around being the champ. He won it by foul means, he's defended it against mammoths like Mark Henry and Big Show while being sneaky.....and his routine in the ring involves chants of: "World.....Heavyweight.....Champion!" He can't say that anymore after he drops the title, so what will he do instead?

After he finally loses the belt, he can keep using his "Yes! Yes! Yes!" schtick, which is excellent in it's simplicity while causing the fans to jeer him. He can continue to mix in dirty tactics along with his terrific technical wrestling; and I'd like to think he wouldn't drop down to the mid-card after his reign is over, since he's been so amazingly (and shockingly) successful while holding the title. But without the belt, it's going to be hard for Daniel to keep up his momentum.

He's always had superior wrestling ability, but what's been happening with Daniel these past months is a tribute to the Creative people in WWE and how they can build a successful program by matching a wrestler's personality and performing abilities with the right kind of scenario. In Daniel's case, they took a guy who displayed little charisma in the past.......and made it look as he had tons of it. That's writing.

Thanks man. I am pretty aware that weight divisions in pro wrestling haven't been really followed for a while, especially since they got rid of the Crusierweight Championship and Rey Mysterio won the World Heavyweight Championship a couple times.

I wouldn't have as much of a problem with Daniel Bryan and World Champion if it was just called the World Championship and "Heavyweight" was not in there.

And of course, realism has nothing to do with being a Champion in Pro Wrestling or else Great Khali and Mason Ryan would be champions. But they are not because they don't put on as entertaining of a match as someone smaller than them. I get it. But I know I'm not alone in the thinking that guys like Daniel Bryan and Rey Mysterio seem kind of funny as World Heavyweight Champion. I loved that Rey was World Heavyweight Champion but I couldn't help thinking the title didn't suit him. Same problem I have with Daniel Bryan.

Might as well call the World Heavyweight Championship the Universe Ultraheavyweight Undisputed Championship then... because who cares if the winners of the title are Ultraheavyweights and there is another championship called the WWE Championship, it doesn't matter because it's pro wrestling!

I don't see WWE actually having plans for him after the World Championship. But then again, I didn't see him being in one of the main events of Wrestlemania. What ever plans they have for him, I don't see them involving a championship in the upper card. Sheamus is my pick to win this Sunday, and I suspect Daniel Bryan is going to drop off the radar. Probably a rematch immediately after Mania, and then back to the lower card. Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes, Kane, and Randy Orton are going to be in line for the title. I think Bryan will be left out for a while. As to what they'll do with him, maybe he could go for a lower card belt after the draft, or form a tag team with someone. I really don't know. But what I do know, is that I don't see him staying in the World Title picture long after Mania.

 

[BigThunder]

The AJ/Daniel storyline could keep DB fresh for a bit. Because Daniel hasn't faced many of the top faces, I can see a lot of possible feuds for him: Punk and Cena are too of the more obvious ones, a feud with Rey when he returns could also be a good one.
