I feel like if the Kane/Bryan feud was done right, and hyped up with all their past history, it could have had a really big fight feel. Did they even mention at all, that they were tag champs and that their tag team success is what propelled Bryan to the main event?
On topic, of the three realistic options I honestly think Bryan is the best choice. Cena coming back and winning after suffering two defeats in a row is an okay story, but it's also kind of a lame and predictable story. And that's coming from someone who likes the guy and doesn't buy into all the usual "SUPER CENA WINS WTF" bullshit.
Reigns is an average talent with an above average look. That's it. I really don't see "The new face of WWE" in this guy. I can maybe buy him as a main eventer, in time, but certainly not the guy to topple the beast at Wrestlemania. He's just not good enough, and I don't see him getting good enough by April.
So that leaves Bryan. Of the three, he's got the best story. Guy spends over a decade wrestling around the world, honing his craft to finally make it to WWE. Scratches and claws his way to the WWE title just to have it snatched away by the authority. Fights tooth and nail throughout the rest of the year to overcome all the adversity stacked against him and reclaim the tile on the biggest stage of them all.....only to have the title snatched away thanks to unfortunate circumstances.
Then, when all other challengers have fallen, the one guy who gained popularity and stardom on the entire concept of overcoming odds, returns to overcome the biggest obstacle of his career, and finally win the title and keep it this time.
