10 Ways WWE Can Go With Daniel Bryan's Injury As World Champion

The WWE World Heavyweight Championship's fate seems to be up in the air at the moment. All we know as of right now is that Stephanie McMahon announced that she expects Daniel Bryan to do the right thing and surrender the title on the next Raw. Bryan's neck surgery was a success, but the timetable on his return is still unclear. There is no way Bryan will be ready to go by Payback, or possibly even the following pay-per-view, which means the future of the title needs to be decided. This isn't like when The Rock took the title and wouldn't show up for weeks at a time. Bryan could be out for a few months, even with the most optimistic outlook, so WWE needs to figure out what they want to do. Bryan was built up for several months to be the next WWE champion. Triple H and Stephanie put him through hell to get to the title, including two matches at WrestleMania XXX. Bryan needing surgery could not have come at a worse time, but he can always be placed back at the top when he returns. This slideshow will look at 10 ways WWE can take the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in no particular order.
