Daniel Bryan on Facing Brock Lesnar for IC Title

WWE superstar Daniel Bryan will be one of seven competitors vying for the Intercontinental Championship in a Ladder match at WrestleMania 31 on March 29.

He recently sat down with TheNational.ae to help promote the bout and the card.

Bryan discussed what it would be like defending the title against current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar, as well as the possibility of unifying the Intercontinental and United States titles:

On a possible match with Brock Lesnar for the Intercontinental title in the future

“It is interesting as I am not sure that Brock Lesnar wants to fight for the Intercontinental championship at the moment. But for him to want to fight for the Intercontinental championship against me in the future, then I would have to consider that a huge success. If Brock Lesnar, who most of the time does not want to be on Raw and does not want to be on most of the pay-per-views, if he wants to fight for the Intercontinental championship, then that would be a huge success.”

On the idea of unifying the Intercontinental and United States titles in the future

“If you were to make my ideal situation, I would like to keep them separate and treat the Intercontinental championship as a world championship. The way they had it before, where they had the WWE championship and the World Heavyweight championship, but then they combined those two.

“Now there are these two main stories. So you would have a main story with the WWE World Heavyweight championship and a main story with the Intercontinental championship. Because if things were as they are now, with all the focus only on one title, then I would never have got the opportunity to be in a main event spot. Because if they didn’t have the World Heavyweight championship in 2011 when I first won it, I would never have got the opportunity to be in a main event position and in a position to main event Smackdown and all that kind of stuff because it was a good testing ground.

“OK, can this guy get over? Can this guy get popular? All that stuff before they put me on Raw and in bigger spots. I think that is needed because there are a lot of guys, if there is only one main title, then there are lot of guys who are not even going to be given the opportunity to be put in main event spots.”
