The original plans for the Survivor Series "mid-card title match" was originally going to feature Daniel Bryan as the Intercontinental Champion, which meant that he would have defeated Shinsuke Nakamura for the title, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter:

“Daniel Bryan, I believe was going to be in the match with Roderick Strong and AJ [Styles], which would have been an absolutely incredible three-way. I just know that Nakamura was losing the title to someone. He was being programmed with Bryan. It could have been Ali [that he would have lost the title to]. When Bryan got moved into the Wyatt match, Nakamura is now not losing so that has changed. So they changed that booking. The rest of the card is largely announced,"
While Bryan vs Styles vs Strong would have been a dream match-up, we hope this isn't true because Bryan is better of challenging for the Universal title, even if he isn't winning it.
