7 Most Likely Daniel Bryan Replacements To Be Next WWE Champion

3. Triple H

This would really upset some people wouldn't it? Absolutely! That's why it's something that WWE should consider. Having the guy calling the shots as the WWE Champion would give him a ridiculous amount of power and the ability to brag. I don't mind heel Triple H in his current role. He's good at it. It's much better than trying to watch him as a babyface. It feels like Hunter has that itch to start wrestling more often, which is what he's doing by appearing at what will be his third PPV in a row at Payback. There are few people in WWE that can get a reaction, positive or negative, the way he can. That's something that makes him a valuable performer right now and a viable option to be the next champ. He may not want to book himself to have another WWE Title run because he's not working the house shows anymore and is considered a part-timer. Since he's also an executive in the company, he might feel that it would be a bad move to book himself as the WWE Champion. It's understandable why it wouldn't happen, but based on his great work as a heel there's an argument to be made that it should happen.
