...sorry.

What if Daniel Bryan inks a short-term extension with WWE, moves to Raw and becomes cannon fodder for new champion Braun Strowman? How's that for a nightmare outcome to WrestleMania Backlash? Imagine the outbursts of sheer rage that'd light up social media if this happened.

Picture it: Bryan's music hits and he comes out steel chair in hand to get him some of Braun. Then, come Raw, Dan suggests that he's desperate to win one more World Title in WWE before "hanging it up for good", and he thinks that belt should be the one doing the rounds on Monday nights.

Obviously, this is based in fantasy. At press time, Bryan hasn't signed anything with WWE, and he has previously made it known that he'd like to wrestle outside the promotion. Even so, this is pro wrestling, and pro wrestling is weird.

Sweet dreams.
