I wouldn't be surprised if they're working an angle where Bryan leaves the company on an extended sabbatical to get his shit together (and his hair) and do a Rocky 3 redemption storyline leading up to Summerslam. Have Reigns have his moment for Mania then build Bryan for Summerslam, fuck maybe Survivor Series. Both parties win in that aspect.
Not happening. Why would he leave again when he just came back and the WWE need him bad anyway.
