If a match with Brock Lesnar is a long shot for Finn Bálor, then perhaps he'd be better served lobbying for one with Daniel Bryan, a kindred in-ring spirit with whom he could easily put on one of the best matches of the year.

Is any further elaboration really necessary? Bryan and Bálor were born to step into the squared circle together, the two of them having each built up wrestling résumés like few others in the industry during their time climbing up the independent ranks.

Not only are they both terrific technicians, they're also capable of great story-telling. Even with an unconventional face versus face dynamic, you would back their ability to put on a dramatic and compelling spectacle capable of headlining a Big Four pay-per-view in this or any year.

With The Demon King potentially set for a move to SmackDown, it's not exactly a pie in the sky fantasy either. They could share the same brand as early as next week, and the way Paige has started as GM, she might well decide to throw them in the ring together on night one.
