Nobody had thought that they would get to see Daniel Bryan wrestling in a WWE ring. However, two months after his announcement, he would go one-on-one with Jeff Hardy. While this match could have easily main-evented a PPV, WWE decided otherwise and let it main-event SmackDown instead.

Despite both being babyfaces, they put on a stellar performance. In the end, Daniel Bryan locked in the 'Heel Hook' submission, and the Charismatic Enigma had no option but to tap out. This would set the main-event for next week's SmackDown- 'Samoa Joe vs. Daniel Bryan.'
This match could have also main-evented any other PPV. However, that is not happening. Here, we explore five possible finishes for Samoa Joe vs. Daniel Bryan.
#5 The match ends in a Double Count-out
Samoa Joe and Daniel Bryan have a great match. Both of them display their mat wrestling prowess and put each other through a variety of submission moves.
However, once it goes outside the ring, it never comes back. It stays like that, and the match ends in a double count-out. While the ending may sound a little clumsy, it could open a plethora of possible outcomes.
What decision would Paige take regarding the finish? She could announce that both of them failed to make it to the ladder match. Or, maybe both of them makes it, and the match is now a 9-Man ladder match.
#4 Big Cass interferes and ends the match in a Double Disqualification
Big Cass interfering and ending the match in a double disqualification would knock more sense than the previously mentioned case. And if that happens, Paige can't rule both of them out or let them qualify.
Big Cass doesn't require to give a reason describing his actions. Any heel will not accept the General Manager's decision to take him out of the qualifiers because some other wrestler injured him. Moreover, it is the General Manager's responsibility to make sure that all his wrestlers are safe and sound.
Like the previous ending, this one could also open a plethora of options. Paige could announce a triple threat match for a place in the Money in the Bank ladder match next week on SmackDown. Or, she could announce a triple threat match at the PPV with the winner being a part of the ladder match.
#3 Big Cass distracts Daniel Bryan and Samoa Joe picks up the win
Much like Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles, Big Cass and Daniel Bryan too cannot stand each other. However, the reason for that is pretty much clear.
When Big Cass made his return, none of the people were speaking about him. It was all about Daniel Bryan. And now, that guy has stolen his possible spot at the Money in the Bank ladder match.
Do you think a man like Big Cass will let it go? Never. He would interfere in the match to take out his revenge. While Daniel Bryan is fighting him off, Samoa Joe seizes the opportunity and picks up the win.
#2 Samoa Joe wins clean
Maybe Samoa Joe doesn't require Big Cass' help at all. He can do it all by himself, and prove the world that he is one of the best wrestlers in the WWE right now.
When Rusev defeated Daniel Bryan clean, we were all surprised. But, we gave into it a few hours later and understood WWE's plans. While a victory for Daniel Bryan would hurt his credibility, it is Samoa Joe who requires the victory much more.
The Samoan Submission Machine missed the Road to WrestleMania and lost to Roman Reigns cleanly. He is one of those heels in the WWE who gets cheered because of his work. However, he always misses the target when it matters the most.
Now is the time for Samoa Joe to hit the bullseye. And for that, Daniel Bryan needs to be buried.
#1 Daniel Bryan wins clean
Sometimes, we need to stop thinking a lot and cheer the babyface. Isn't that how pro-wrestling is supposed to work?
Daniel Bryan's comeback story perfectly plays into it. WWE doctors were adamant that he would never return. However, Daniel Bryan had proved otherwise and got himself medically cleared to compete.
Once you think in that manner, you realize that it is Daniel Bryan who requires the victory the most. Before the injury, he was one of the top stars of the company. And now, he is looking to prove the fans that he hasn't relented a little bit.
Sorry, Samoa Joe. But, you would have to take a loss for it.
