9 Ruthless Decisions WWE Need To Make Now

1. Remove Daniel Bryan As SmackDown GM

As 2017 has progressed, Daniel Bryan has featured less and less on SmackDown in favour of Shane McMahon making many of the big decisions - even upon D-Bry's return from paternity leave. There has to be a reason for that, and it likely has to do with Bryan's wishes to wrestle again. The SmackDown GM clearly doesn't feel fulfilled in his current role.

If that's the case, then WWE must remove the former World Champion from his post before his boredom with the role creeps in onscreen. SmackDown would perhaps be better for having Shane fly solo as Commissioner, because he's the one who harps on about the brand being WWE's 'Land Of Opportunity,' and is more involved in key storylines, anyway.

There are other things Bryan could do. He's a fine ambassador for the promotion away from events, so he'd be a nice talking head for various Network documentaries. Hell, even giving Bryan his own dedicated show on the Network - to complement appearances on Total Bellas and letting him rant about wrestling - would be better than what he's doing now.
