Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz Officially Announced

YES YES YES! A few weeks ago, Daniel Bryan was cleared to return to in-ring action. This opened up a whole new world for WWE as there were a ton of options for opponents, meaning we could be seeing some incredible matches. There were so many of them to pick from but one at the top of a lot of lists (at least mine) was against the Miz. These two have feuded together without having a match for years but during the Superstar Shakeup, Miz was sent to SmackDown directly at Bryan’s request. A match was pretty obvious, and now we know a date.

This is when it cranked up and you can’t see it enough.

Opinion: Now this works for me. Bryan vs. Miz is one of the matches that I’ve been wanting to see for a long time now, even more than last week’s Bryan vs. Styles. These two have a natural rivalry and Miz has kept this going for YEARS, even with Bryan on the seemingly on the shelf for good. The sight of Bryan kicking Miz in the head, hitting a running knee and then making him tap would be glorious, though if they really wanted to be bold, have Miz beat him and prove that he was right all along.

Do you think this match will take place on a bigger stage? Who should win? Let us know in the comments below.
