John Cena Gives Daniel Bryan A Title Shot

It was only a matter of time before John Cena stole my gimmick of randomly mentioning Jinder Mahal. He'll do anything to be over with his haters.

Speaking of being over, Daniel Bryan is probably the most over guy on the active roster right now. When the WWE ran this idea that Cena could choose his own opponent for Summerslam and Cena left it up to the fans, it was obvious Daniel Bryan was going to get picked. That segment on Raw once again puts over Cena's character. He cares about the fans and is willing to give other people opportunities.

One thing I notice is some people talking like Daniel Bryan has waited such a long time for this opportunity. They make it sound like he never gets opportunities and has been mistreated for so long. I am not going to deny his overness and what he is capable of doing in the ring, which is reason enough to give him a shot at the WWE Championship, but I don't feel the story for Daniel Bryan right now is that he is a guy who never got the golden opportunity and John Cena finally gave it to him. Go back to 2012. That would be last year. Daniel Bryan got more than one opportunity at the WWE Championship, not to mention holding the World's Heavyweight Championship that year and later winning the tag titles and having a lengthy reign with it that just ended a few months ago. When it comes to getting shots at the WWE Championship, I believe there are some credible individuals who have had longer droughts than Daniel Bryan. When was the last time Christian had a shot at the WWE Championship? Has Kofi Kingston ever had a singles match for the WWE Championship? People might want to say he blew it when he was feuding with Orton, but I really doubt they were grooming Kofi Kingston for a 1-on-1 title shot back then. When was the last time The Great Khali had any kind of title shot? The Great Khali? Okay, forget that one. Point is, there are guys who have been getting less than Daniel Bryan who have been around a long time, are loyal, are good in the ring, and are over. Again, I am not saying Daniel Bryan doesn't deserve a title shot, but I am not going to say that this is a guy who never gets opportunities to be a success.
