Finn Bálor vs. Daniel Bryan is the sort of match that once seemed lost to the sands of time. When Bryan retired in 2016, it looked like we'd never see him match up against the former Prince Devitt in WWE. Now, with Daniel back in the mix, there's hope it'll happen before the end of 2018.

Since returning from an injury of his own shortly after WrestleMania 33, Bálor hasn't had much to shout about other than a few matches here and there. He's in dire need of that one killer feud to show top brass that he's someone who deserves another crack at the top titles.

Gunning for Bryan as a Bálor Club-leading heel would show a different side of Finn in WWE.

Again, the heel turn is optional, but it's worth noting that Bryan plays the sympathetic babyface very well and the Bálor Club gimmick (patterned after the cocksure vibe of the Bullet Club it was born from) is arrogance personified. Besides, the matches between both would provide the kind of in-ring excitement Bryan is searching for, and they'd have a better edge against a villain.
