8 Reasons Daniel Bryan Shouldn't Be Part Of WrestleMania's Main Event

6. Facing Lesnar Risks Re-injuring Bryan

As Tyson Kidd would say, facts are facts, and the fact is this: However big of a draw he may be, Brock Lesnar is dangerous in the ring. Every move he makes is stiff as a board, every suplex he throws seems haphazard and risky. He gave The Undertaker a concussion during their match at Wrestlemania 30, and in that triple threat match at the Royal Rumble, Seth Rollins took some very awkward looking landings from those german suplexes. With his surgically repaired neck still healing, Bryan would be at serious risk in the ring with The Beast Incarnate. In a promo on Raw, Rollins commented that Lesnar would tear Bryan apart, and it's true. Bryan wrestles a risky enough style as it is, with his suicide dives and constand speed, to say nothing of Brock. Everyone likes a good David and Goliath story, but when a man is only a month or two returned from an injury that placed his entire career into question, it might be safer to go an alternate route. Regardless of the perception they give off, WWE know that Bryan is a main event player. They won't jeopardize their future by putting him in danger at the present.
