While Bryan is out injured, there is a spot open. And like it or not, there's plenty of superstars willing to take it. It's the nature of the beast. Once one cog in the machine is used up, it's replaced by a brand new shiny one, and the machine keeps on rolling. Maybe Bryan's has been used up and mother nature has come calling. Neville is the standout candidate to take his underdog babyface spot, which has been proven by how the company is booking him. Exactly the same as Bryan in many respects. While NXT is jam packed with superstars in a similar vein to that of Bryan. The likes of Messrs Zayn, Balor, Itami and Breeze are all similar sizes and good workers in the ring. This puts less pressure on WWE to force Bryan to continue with his career. It's not all or nothing. If Daniel has to bow out, WWE can continue about their business as normal as they know they have plenty of would-be Superstars in reserve.
