When WWE launched that eco-friendly championship belt in January, the smart money went on Daniel Bryan rolling into WrestleMania with that hemp and wood. After Elimination Chamber, that looks like happening, although there's no clear indication exactly who his challenger will be.

We'll likely find out on SmackDown.

Kofi Kingston, who has shone lately, is one choice, and so is a guy who missed out on Sunday. Mustafa Ali has been cutting some subtly stellar promos recently, and he might be a good bet to go from Cruiserweight Title bout on the pre-show one year to WrestleMania main-carder this year. Why not? It's fresh.

Whomever stands on the opposite side of the ring for that WWE Title match in New Jersey, it'll be Bryan staring back at them. He's earned the right to walk into WrestleMania as WWE Champion for the first time in his epic career.
