The same report went into further detail as well:

I mean, there were periods there a couple of years ago when they were going to do the big Roman Reigns-Daniel Bryan program that they never got to. I mean, it just never ended up that way. They brought Erick Rowan into the program and they never even got to Daniel Bryan. So, this could happen again.

Daniel Bryan has been at the very top of the mountain, and he has proved in the past that he can have fantastic matches against Roman Reigns. Plus, he has a score to settle with Jey Uso, which could certainly play into the proceedings, when the feud happens.

Remember that Daniel Bryan could have been the Intercontinental Champion if Jey Uso had not assaulted him in the backstage area during his match with Sami Zayn.
