10 Best Opponents For Daniel Bryan At WWE WrestleMania 35

Online writers sure do spend a lot of time speculating about Dave Bautista's in-ring return to WWE, don't they? I've certainly been guilty of this myself.

It's a recurring topic of conversation, especially nowadays, with reports that both WWE and All Elite Wrestling want his services. Among the multitude of bizarre wrestling stories that have come out of the late 2010s, we can add "Batista is the hottest free agent with two major companies bidding for him."

So why WWE? What could Dave possibly do there? Well, how about a match with Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania?

The heart of the matter is that anyone who signs the now 50-year-old Animal is not trying to get a good match, but instead, bring in mainstream curiosity. AEW are a fledgling company relying on the status as an alternative to WWE. What do they have to gain by signing a semi-retired meathead from Ruthless Aggression-era WWE?

But Batista as a returning face in WWE? Against now hated heel Daniel Bryan? With all the storyline baggage of 2014 still fresh in the minds of fans? Let me tell you, if you wanted a money program for Batista's big comeback, there's one right there.
