WWE 2K19: 10 Moments Daniel Bryan's Showcase Must Include

4. Becoming Intercontinental Champ

Reliving the (temporary) sweetness of his Intercontinental Title reign would similarly make Bryan fans happy.

Just like the 2011 Money in the Bank Ladder Match, this is another stunt-filled opportunity for 2K to play around with. Remember Dean Ambrose thumping through a ringside ladder at the hands of Luke Harper? How about Bryan's sweat-soaked wars with the likes of Bad News Barrett and Dolph Ziggler atop the ladder before grasping a title he'd never worn?

Those are the kinds of spots 2K could replicate. Again, it might be tricky to stick Barrett and even Stardust in there, but 2K can surely come to some sort of arrangement. They'll have to if they want to pay tribute to some of Bryan's biggest and best victories.

Bryan's winning smile as he held the IC Title aloft and tears as he was forced to hand it over due to injuries are both important moments in his career. It'd be a shame if 2K had to gloss over his brief stint as Intercontinental Champ, or the promise it had.
