Seems a lot of people have either forgotten or are outright ignoring that WWE already announced that should Bryan not be able to compete at MITB the WWE Title was going up for grabs in the MITB match itself. That is a huge draw and they aren't going to change it just to "fix" something that no one knows is broken. The only thing is...they're having 2 MITB matches? Seems a little unfair if you've already qualified for the briefcase match if you later have a chance to win the title in another match. Perhaps a straight up title match would work, but both would be weird to do for one PPV. Don't know that. All that has been announced for MITB is a (singular) MITB match that should Bryan not be able to wrestle Kane would be for the WWE Title instead of the usual briefcase. Most are expecting one match for the Title and another for the briefcase but we don't know that is going to happen yet.

If it was possible, I would pull a Elimination Chamber 2010 and add Rollins to the match at the last second if they could. I wouldn't wait till after the match like Batista did, but have Hunter interrupt the match between Kane and whoever the f*** else, have Rollins come out and boom...take the easy win.

Honestly, he should have surrendered the belt on the Raw after the neck surgery. That would have saved us from a month of "will he or won't he?", a month of arguing with Stephanie McMahon, a month of Brie Bella firings/quitting. A month of crap, is what I'm getting at.
Let him have his big speech on Raw tonight, surrender the belts, and then he can recover. I would rather see Daniel Bryan wrestle at full capacity five years from now versus wrestling at 50 percent of his ability now and potentially ending his career before WrestleMania 31.

Honestly I think they just wanted to avoid a huge fan backlash over Bryan losing the title so quickly. Although it looks stupid on paper, the WWE did the best they could to make sure Bryan was champion.

I hope the title at the top of the ladder is the spinner belt and Bryan comes back with the "real" titles to win them back

My concern is Bryan is never going to be 100% again. If there are issues with his arm and general recovery, that means it is serious and he'll be Steve Austin, at best. Sounds a ridiculous criticism to make for one of the all time greats like Austin but his work went from being outstanding to punch, kick orientated. It worked for him because he was the Redneck brawler.
Bryan may well become even more kick limited than he has already become.

It'd be last year redux, circumstances notwithstanding. The fans would be pissed. Do it now, and we're guaranteed a heel (and most likely not Rollins) winning the title until Bryan can come back.

On one side John Cena pulls down the WWE title and on the other Alberto Del Rio pulls down the WHC title. It's your density, I mean your destiny.

It's really for the reason you're citing. I don't want them to use the title just to make more sense of a turn that I don't care too much about in the first place. Then what do you suggest? They move forward with a terrible decision they made already? I don't see them changing their mind on what they did with the Shield, and at least with this scenario, we'll have at least 2 people get propped up by it. I hate that Bryan is injured. I hate that the Shield split. But I'm working with what we got here, and in this case...I don't think it would be a bad idea. That's very different from handing him the title. I wouldn't mind him in the match at all. Maybe put someone else in there and make it look like Rollins has an unfair advantage for a victory. If he won MITB with shenanigans it would probably get him plenty of heat. That's not a bad idea. The only problem is setting up Rollins for failure in the off chance that he wouldn't win. I mean, would you turn on your brothers for glory? Or would you turn on them for a chance to gain glory? I hear you and I can't say your points aren't logical. But I think even if the angle wasn't built up properly, a Rollins promo about feeling inadequate or something (basically anything that would make it mostly personal) could work if delivered and supported well enough. He could even acknowledge how illogical it would be and that he's looking to hurt them more than anything by teaming with Hunter. I dunno, I might be misrepresenting Rollins' character with this idea. I'm honestly not really into The Shield in the first place, these are just ideas I would personally like to see.

Daniel Bryan doesn't even know yet that they stripped him of the title. Because you know, they got his title belts from him without him finding out

What a rollercoaster of a year for DBry. Sucks for him, but I'm sure he'll be fine. Maybe he'll enjoy his time off with Brie. He's a made man when he comes back, so while this may feel like a big crush to his momentum I think he'll come back just fine.

It sucks but let's be honest, the fact that Bryan got to hold the title as long as he did despite never being medical cleared is a anomaly. In all rights, he should have been stripped before this point.

This whole thing proves that evil won in the end anyway (though due to non-story stuff).

And the clock stops at 64 days as champion of the world. 64 days in which he had, due to more outside factors than any champion has ever had to deal with, only THREE televised matches, one of which was his only title defense against Kane at Extreme Rules.
Maybe the fourth time will be the charm.
