10 Things That Must Happen Before WrestleMania 35
1. Miz & Bryan Collide
Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz highlighted SmackDown's fantastic post-Draft run in 2016.
It started with 'The A-Lister's' now famous Talking Smack promo, in which the former Intercontinental Champion incinerated his General Manager and the rest of the WWE hierarchy. From there, every interaction was fire. Miz took great pleasure in trolling his boss, knowing the fact that he couldn't wrestle was killing him, and it bled into his ring work. Bryan was shaken, and everyone was into it, but there was no way to pay it off at the time.
Now, there is. With Bryan medically cleared once more, the brand split is the only thing stopping WWE from resuming this feud, but picking it up is a must. Their's was a special rivalry. The company would be remiss not to place them back together, heat the feud up again, and book a long, eventful program over the next 12 months, perhaps culminating in a match at WrestleMania 35 itself.
WWE, Bryan, and The Miz would be printing money, and given how excellent 'The A-Lister' has become between the ropes, there's no reason to believe the matches wouldn't be as strong as the mic battles.
