Ideally, Daniel Bryan's WWE World Heavyweight Championship reign should have been all about bringing "wrestling" back to World Wrestling Entertainment. In recent times, WWE has been heavier on the entertainment than the in-ring product, but with talents including Bryan, there's a younger breed of performer in the company that have the tools to be incredible in-ring performers. From Cesaro to Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, Tyson Kidd and so forth, there's an athletic breed of wrestler that is on the rise on the roster and Daniel Bryan ideally could have opened a door to those types of wrestlers being allowed to have their unique in-ring gifts showcased. Thus, the lowest point of this title reign isn't anything that we saw, it's the incredible plethora of things that we could have seen, but did not.
