Before heading off with this latest injury, Daniel Bryan wanted to be positioned as the face of Smackdown. His idea was that he could headline the B-show and make it important again: he knew that hed had most of the main event opportunities he was going to get, and wanted to create his very own main event, on a smaller stage. It could be Bryan: but it doesnt have to be. Take a popular performer, or maybe more than one, and make them Smackdown exclusive. Were not talking about a full brand split like in 2002 just one, maybe two people who already have a name and a following, and give them the chance to lead the show, reinvent Smackdown, make it compelling, must-see television again. This could be the opportunity you need to bring Cesaro to the place hes always needed to get to. Want to see if he can handle the bright lights? Give him that smaller stage to light up first maybe against a heel Dolph Ziggler, or the Wyatts. At one point, it looked like Dean Ambrose could be that glorious cross between the Loose Cannon Brian Pillman and his former tag partner, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stop giving him ridiculous Howling Mad Murdock comedy crap to do, and let him be his big-hearted, unpredictably loopy self. Give Smackdown to someone and let them run with it, make it their show
