WWE must have known when Daniel Bryan announced his comeback that a feud with The Miz, one that could peak in-ring this time, was necessary.

There's a sense the writers have held off on it for the time-being, almost as if they're stalling for time until SummerSlam. Who can blame them there? Miz vs. Bryan is the kind of crowd-pleasing match major pay-per-views were made for. It's just a shame Daniel's feud with Big Cass has been so obviously secondary.

In the two months between now and SummerSlam, WWE can build Bryan back up and have Miz attempt to tear him to shreds on the microphone. The dynamic these guys have is natural, comes across as one laced with reality and has killed it on the mic before.

Add Bryan's zest for great matches in there (and Miz's own stellar work) and it's a guaranteed winner. Don't bet against this one being the most anticipated match on the SummerSlam card should WWE's creative team get everything right.
