If Bryan wins, I'd like to see him face Bray Wyatt again only over the title. He'll likely feud with Batista first though if he does win at Mania.
That being said, I think he's facing Triple H. So I don't think it really matters.

I can see Bryan having a Punk-esq run with the belt. He'll defend it in a series of awesome matches, and problably lose is a year/year and a half down the line, if they even give him that long. I can definetly see him lsoing it to someone like John Cena assuming John Cena hasn't been injured to hell and back.
This is goingto be a case of the chase being better than the outcome, I can see it. But, I think we'll have a good run once he wins. Honestly, if WWE wanted to stop this crap, they'd have thrown the belt on him at TLC or something, if they really wanted the fans to quit rallying behind Daniel Bryan.

He'll probably lose some of his momentum after winning the title. Which is why having the right opponent lined up is crucial to keeping him as over as he is now. The hate for Batista would make him the prime opponent at that point. Although I think Cesaro could fit the bill down the line. Not because of any heat with the audience,obviously, but I think even casual fans will have an interest in that bout should they keep building Cesaro. Wyatt is another strong possibility. Of course, if it all flops, its right back to Cena.

Cept you are still dreaming about this payoff that aint happening. I cant believe there are still people from SS that think this is a story that WWE put into motion for DB to win the big one at WM. He's facing HHH. He issued the challenge on Raw. WWE hasnt planted any sides or developed any story for DB to win at Mania. Look at Batista. Since his return, they have been pushing this Batista/Orton feud. Then Batista won the Rumble. They have had Batista/Del Rio as just a mini feud and also to help fuel the Batista/Orton feud. They have developed this story. NOTHING...absolutely NOTHING has been planted for DB to win the title in the main event of WM. No seed planting. No tease. No feud. NOTHING. His feud is with HHH. They dropped hints at it right around RR and now its in full swing. Who said at Wrestlemania? If Bryan wins the title at next year's RR.....its not a payoff and besides, WWE never runs stories that long anyway. The last time WWE ran a long term storyline was Rock/Cena and that wasnt a week by week story. Cept you are still dreaming about this payoff that aint happening.

WWE realizes that the Batista vs. Randy Orton match is getting received about as well as a fart in church. Don't think that they aren't worried about what the crowd would do if Randy Orton vs. Batista is a one-on-one match to close out the 30th anniversary of Wrestlemania. It would be a major embarrassing moment for the company. Trust me when I tell that sometime between now and Wrestlemania, the Daniel Bryan/Triple H match will have a stipulation added to it that if Bryan beats Triple H, he will be added to the Title match and it will become a triple threat. The fan reaction to Randy Orton vs. Batista one-on-one would be catastrophic. WWE knows this. And even if this whole "payoff for Daniel Bryan" has not been in WWE's original plans, the fan reaction has certainly forced their hand, as it evidence by the fact that hit the ABORT button on the Daniel Bryan joining the Wyatt's after 2 weeks and put him right back into the "getting screwed out of the title by Triple H" story. Who said that Batista/Orton is gonna close Mania? Could this be turned into a Triple Threat? Yeah. Will it be DB in it? Doubt it. Better chance its Punk. Also, they could just change course and have Batista drop his title shot. But WWE is insisting that Batista be the big babyface to dethrone Orton. Regardless if the crowd boos him or not....WWE sees him as a major baby and thus, he will be. They dont care if Cena is booed out of buildings, why care if Batista is? Fan reaction doesnt force WWE's hand anymore. Cena has been booed for nearly a damn decade. Yet, still booked as the #1 babyface. Fact is....WWE does what it wants and it doesnt care what the fan's opinion is. They only care when their bottom line is affected. |

There will be the obligatory rematch which may or may not include Batista. There's Batista, Cena, even Triple H. Plenty of options, some people in this thread just leave me speechless with the over analyzing about popularity and how winning the title would be a bad idea etc, are you having a  ing laugh? |

This is how I would do a Daniel Bryan title reign, within realism.
Raw after WrestleMania: defeats Randy Orton.
Extreme Rules: Defeats Batista in a Last Man Standing Match. Fake a Batista injury to go promote his movie.
Payback: Some back story here. The Shield stay together through Extreme Rules, then begin breaking up. They are still technically together though. Triple H is doing whatever to get the belt off of Bryan, so a Fatal 4 Way with The Shield, they finally crack and Bryan takes advantage.
Alt. Payback: if Shield breaks up sooner, Bryan finally gets the win over Bray Wyatt.
Money in The Bank: vs Cesaro in a 2/3 falls or an Iron Man match.
SummerSlam: Brock Lesnar finally gets his shot. An I Quit match where Brock essentially beats the pics out of Bryan, but Brock underestimates and gets out smarted, Bryan uses a kendo stick assisted Yes Lock to attain victory.
Night of Champions: Batista is back and he is super pissed. Bryan goes over by the skin of his teeth.
Hell in a Cell: Triple H decides to take matters into his own hands. Bryan vs HHH 2. Bryan pulls it out, but he's hurt. HHH calls out Mr. Money in The Bank (I don't care who) and Bryan is defeated.
Bryan is denied his re matches and gets delegated to facing random heels on PPV. At Royal Rumble Bryan enters number 1 and wins it. Daniel is forced to defend his shot inside the Chamber. Two alternatives here. HBK is the ref, and screws Bryan. This leads to an amazing story and better match. Another is Bryan loses the title shot inside the chamber due to Authority's interference. HBK is the host of WrestleMania. He gives Bryan an offer, a match with him at Mania. HBK puts Bryan over either way. If HBSchizzle stays retired then put him against major psycho heel Dean Ambrose, who screwed Bryan.
That's 1 year worth of great TV.

Daniel Bryan winning the WWE Championship would be the WORST thing for his career. Once he wins the Title for real, the "Yes movement" is over and his fans no longer have anything to be outraged about. If WWE was really screwing Daniel Bryan, he'd be wrestling Damien Sandow on Main Event. The fact that him being constantly screwed over is the PREMISE of his character shows that the WWE wants him to be the underdog that the fans will rally behind. His fans, on the other hand, believe that he's being mistreated in REAL LIFE, not realizing or forgetting that wrestling is FAKE and all the storylines are written by a team of writers. Once his character overcomes those roadblocks and wins the title....then what? Then he's really got nothing to accomplish and his fans will have nothing to demand. He'll end up like Zack Ryder, Randy Orton's first title run, and Chris Benoit....the fans will move on to the next thing to bitch about. Because deep down inside, this really isn't about Daniel Bryan, this is about the fans being pissed that WWE isn't listening to them. Golly, let's hope not! Eh, but after so long, this chase for the title gets repetitive. Gotta strike when the iron is hot. |

I don't think you've watched WWE for the past 2 weeks if you think that WWE is blindly booking Batista as the the babyface.....he's in full on heel mode. His promos on RAW and Smackdown of last week along should be evidence of that to anyone who's actually paying attention and not just complaining on the internet. This should be even more evidence that Daniel Bryan will be placed into the main event of Wrestlemania because Orton and Batista are both heels. |

He will lose it to Undertaker's ex-wife Sara the next night on Raw.
Either that or he'll hold it until Summerslam when he drops it to Roman Reigns.

I can't tell the real responses from the troll responses.
I thought this would be a real positive thread with actual discussion.
Guess I expected too much.

I hope it doesn't happen, but at some point its bound to. I like to compare this Bryan run to Austin's in the late 90s. I always thought Austin had a stronger fan base (long term) during his chase to the title. While he was champ, I didn't feel like he was always getting the red-hot reaction while he was trying to bring down the machine. His pops were huge, but that cult following was a little smaller. Bryan is going to get the title, its bound to happen. I'm just hoping fans don't start pulling away from him after it happens. |

Honestly? I see him defeating Orton at Backlash. Then onto Batista & Triple H for a few months. And then he loses the title to Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar at Summer Slam. WWE's memory is astonishing, as a company with so many people that are simply forgetful. They always say, there is money in the chase...blah blah blah Cena has how many title reigns? Sure he chased those titles, but he also defended against monsters & maniacs. If they put the belt on Bryan at Mania, make the man defend twice a night... have the authority doing everything they can to try & cheat the guy & yet, have him come out on top. That way, we will always think, this could be the time...bring in Lesnar against him...throw out a 4 way with all the shield, especially if they're split....make the king of the ring tournament for his belt & he's in it.....just make him look strong & the chase doesn't have to be where money is made, just where it started |

There is fun in watching a strong defender of a title...where they're still stacking the odds against him. The chase means nothing if he doesn't win & then defend against monsters...hopefully more than one per night. Didn't Cena win the title & defend it like crazy against people we thought would actually win..especially Umaga -- Bryan can be popular with the title |

I see Bryan having the Benoit/Guerrero kind of reign, but he has to prove that he can carry the company. In a perfect world I would have Bryan win the title at Mania, have it for a whole year, then at the next Mania lose it to Roman Reigns. Everyone wins in this scenario, smark fans, smark fans that are in denial about not being smark, casual fans, etc. I can just barely put up with him now, a year long title reign would make me stop watching, plus the trigger on Reigns/Title needs to be pulled before WM, preferably at Survivor Series |

Bryan vs. The Corporation. The story has to continue; The Corporation are going to do everything they can to knock Bryan off and control the title scene. Yet Bryan overcomes all odds and eventually leads to the demise of the stable.  |
