WWE Rumors: Is Daniel Bryan Finished as Main Event Star?

The latest round of WWE rumors deals with Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns, and this is a juicy one. As always, this is just a rumor, so please treat it as such.

Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer penned a long piece this week about Bryan's status as a main event player. When Reigns pinned Bryan at Fast Lane, he writes, it effectively ended the latter's time as the main event star in WWE. Moreover, he points to the crowd's reaction to what has happened.

"But the biggest story on Fast Lane was the end of the Bryan story as the guy the fans willed to be the top guy and face of the company. It was a fight for a long time fans thought they could win, and they clearly lost, and more importantly, based on post-Fast Lane, they weren't even that mad anymore. It was just acceptance.

Don't get me wrong. He is going to be a star within the television show for maybe as long as his body holds up, and at minimum for several more years. He's a great wrestler and he'll be counted on to be part of big matches. He'll get over the heels they are promoting to whomever their real headliner is. He'll have great technical matches when called on to face talented wrestlers. He'll give good promos. People will like him. They'll still chant 'Yes' all the time, not with the fervor they once did, but it'll always be the new 'Hiyo.' When he's 50, he can still be used for easy heat for a new heel, he can come out, get his nostalgia chant, and lose just like Jim Duggan did. Well, except probably a whole lot more effectively.'"
