Now, I haven't watched the product in a while (Last time I watched was Rollins almost killing Edge), but I have kept up with it through podcasts I've listened to for years and the Observer (That I still sub to for MMA and NJPW coverage), so here's a stab at booking a Ziggler-Bryan match while making a new star out of an NXT guy.
It starts with Ziggler challenging Bryan to a match at the June PPV for the IC championship. Bryan accepts. The match ends with a double count out.
Ziggler challenges Bryan again for the July PPV. Bryan, as both are still faces, agrees as he wants a clear winner as well. This time, Ziggler dominates a lot of the match before KNEE PLUS OUTTA NO WHERE and Bryan retains.
Ziggler challenges Bryan one more time for SummerSlam ala Sonnen vs Silva II. This time Bryan says no as he wishes to compete against somebody new. However, at some point, the Authority offer Ziggler a "deal with the devil", which he accepts. The deal is the Authority booking Bryan vs Ziggler for SummerSlam- Title vs Hair.
Bryan beats Ziggler again, this time the Knee Plus conveniently knocking Ziggler out, and puts him in the barber's chair. Kevin Owens, who lost his championship at some point over the summer in NXT to a returning Sami Zayn and hadn't been seen since, jumps the barricade and package piledrives Bryan.
Owens then shoves Ziggler out of the chair, puts Bryan in it, and shaves the beard off.
The next night, Owens mentions in a promo that Bryan, who would be off TV until the next PPV (maybe put him in a mask on the house shows), had demanded a match with him on the September PPV out of honor. Owens reveals that this is exactly what he wanted, to make a statement and anger Bryan to the point of giving him a title match out of anger.
