WWE rumors 2015: Daniel Bryan wants to win back his intercontinental title

Daniel Bryan remains on the World Wresting Entertainment (WWE) inactive list but his outlook surely doesn't seem dampened. In fact, in the event he does return, he already has something in mind — reclaiming the Intercontinental title currently held by Canadian Kevin Owens.

Bryan has been out since being pulled by the WWE as a preventive measure for his part. Right now, Bryan is contending that he has been cleared by an independent neurologist, but the WWE doctors haven't. The stalemate was supposed to be settled by a third and neutral doctor, but nothing has materialized until now.

Bryan may be frustrated, but he isn't totally closing the door on possibly returning to wrestling. He feels that he is being held back for other reasons, although such does seem a bit odd, considering the WWE will need all the stars they can on deck right now.

But in the event that the WWE continues to hold him back, what would Bryan plan next?

The Wrestling Observer reports that Bryan may end up taking his act to other factions like Ring of Honor or even the New Japan Pro Wrestling.

But this may only probably pop up if the WWE continues to hold him back. The Inquisitr believes that the WWE is purposely holding him back and saving him for Wrestlemania 32.

As pointed out in the same post, Bryan's return has caused more complications in the past years than good. Well, such is not really Bryan's fault but perhaps more on the booking done by the WWE creative team.

Assuming he does, it seems that he wants his intercontinental title back which could mean that he is on a collision course with Kevin Owens or whoever is the champion.

Right now, that guy is Kevin Owens. But with the Canadian facing Dean Ambrose and more, Bryan will likely come across unless new changes in the WWE title picture start taking place.
