10 Reasons Daniel Bryan Will Not Be WWE Champion After SummerSlam
10. Underdog Angle Is Becoming Stale
When you are the king, what is the next step? Daniel Bryan is likely asking himself this question after conquering the Authority and seizing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Prior to WrestleMania, many fans supported Bryan because he was the irreverent underdog who was hell bent on taking down the system. However, it seems that creative has been in a lull since Bryan captured the title, unsure of what to do now that he is the face of the company. Bryans feud with Kane seemed to lack inspiration, and the involvement of Brie Bella could indicate that the writers were grasping at straws in an attempt to inject some life into the program. The storyline was awfully similar to a Zach Ryder angle from a few years prior, and it produced one of the most embarrassing and unbelievable promos in the history of the company when Kane attempted to hide in Bryans car and abduct his wife Brie. With the underdog angle running on empty, fans will have to wait and see if Bryan can retain interest going forward.
