Dave Meltzer indicated in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that WWE could be pulling the trigger on a heel turn for Daniel Bryan.

As seen on Smackdown Live this past week, Daniel Bryan put AJ Styles in a handicap match against Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens with the WWE Championship Title on the line at the upcoming Royal Rumble event. This came off in a heelish manner and it’s normally something a heel authority figure would do instead of a babyface.

Meltzer believes that the company could be trying to minimize the amount of WWE fans that could potentially watch Bryan on the indie scene or another promotion by turning him. Basically, they are trying to hurt his mainstream appeal and value by having him exit the company as a heel, which probably won’t work very well if Bryan does in fact leave WWE.

Lawler is joined on today’s show by his co-host Glenn Moore.

Lawler says that he’s very excited about SummerSlam this Sunday, and he’s also excited to be working the Kickoff show on the WWE Network. He admits that for a while he thought SummerSlam needed to be ‘bigger’, but over the last few weeks WWE has done a good job of building the PPV and now Lawler is very excited to watch the show.

He says he’s anxious to see the reformed tag team of Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins take on Sheamus and Cesaro for the RAW tag team Championships. He’s also looking forward to The Demon vs. Bray Wyatt because he’s been waiting for The Demon to make its return for a while now. He says that we need less Finn Balor and more Demon moving forward.

Lawler informs that he’s going to be wrestling Cody Rhodes for the ROH Championship next week. He wonders if Rhodes can actually put the ROH Title on the line against a WWE-contracted talent because Lawler has full intentions of beating Rhodes and claiming the ROH Title. That would be a very embarrassing situation for ROH in Lawler’s opinion.

Welcome to the fastest hour on television, 205 Live!

Tonight’s show takes place on the patriotic 4th of July and we’re less than a week away from Great Balls of Fire. The Cruiserweight Champion, Neville, puts his title on the line against the formidable Akira Tozawa on the GBF kick-off show. Last night on Raw Neville obliterated Mustafa Ali and sent a clear message to Tozawa: no-one is on the Neville level. WWE.Com is teasing that Neville will look to send another message on tonight’s show, perhaps against Tozawa himself.

The only other preview for tonight’s show pertains to Alicia Fox, Noam Dar, and Cedric Alexander. Yes, I know, the feud that will not die. WWE’s writers seem to have little to no interest in 205 Live, hence why feuds last for a very long time and revolve around some small issue that never gets resolved. Thankfully the in-ring action is usually pretty great and that makes it worth watching, that being said this feud needs to come to an end and Alexander can move on to something much more worth his time.

While speaking with ChannelGuideMag, Kurt Angle revealed that he has’t had any medical evaluations for a WWE in-ring return yet. He also revealed which WWE Superstars he’d like to face if he does get the opportunity to compete again.

“If that occurs, there is a lot of talent. There is talent I would like to revisit again like Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Randy Orton, Triple H, definitely. When I wrestled Triple H last time I had just started. I didn’t consider myself very good back then. So I think we would have a much, much better match right now. I’d love to get Samoa Joe or AJ Styles in a WWE ring. Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Cesaro, Sheamus. Even some of the 205 guys like Austin Aries and Neville. There is a lot of great talent right now. I would love to be able to mix it up with them. Hopefully, eventually it will happen down the line.”

As previously noted, Angle’s on-going storyline with Corey Graves is rumored to lead to Stephanie McMahon’s return to WWE television. This is expected to ultimately lead to a match between Angle and Triple H at WrestleMania.

Rumours have surfaced this week that Kurt Angle’s current storyline is going to result in a match-up between Kurt Angle and Triple H somewhere down the line.

While from a storyline point of view, this definitely makes the most sense, the rumour has been met with a mixed response from the WWE audience. Fans have dreamed of an Angle return for years and a match with Triple H was never near the top of their wish-list.

Angle’s return to the ring is really a case of if and not when, but fans would much rather see him do battle with a younger star or a more active one at the very least.  With that in mind, let’s take a look at 5 potential opponents for Kurt Angle who would be a better option than Triple H.

Brock Lesnar 

Okay, so I know that Brock is no spring chicken himself these days and that this match has been seen plenty of times before in the WWE. The last time these two wrestled, though, things were very different. Both stars have changed a lot since their last match and the two could no doubt produce something just as special as their old matches but still manage to add something new and exciting to it.

The two also share an amazing chemistry in the ring,  the kind that only really comes around once in a generation. Having the two square off would also prove to be box office gold for the company, with both men being household names around the world.

In terms of setting this up- a feud between a GM desperate to keep his job, and a champion who just refuses to perform really shouldn’t be too difficult to get off the ground- add in the pair’s history and this one pretty much writes itself.
