Smackdown is literally self parody booking at this point Yeah, that's really why in the moment I can't even be that happy about AJ's dull slog of a title reign being over with and Bryan finally having the belt back. It's just such shitty, nonsensical booking for basically no reason other than Road Dogg hates joy. I feel compelled to point out (again) that Road Dogg just writes the television show, he wouldn't be the one making decisions on major heel turns and WWE Title changes. It all still comes from Vince.

Yea, as I said i'm not down on this as DB as a heel is fun But they've turned all their popular faces heel. If you can't replace them you have problems WWE's best Babyfaces happen by complete accident and they're usually booked as heels or goobers so I have no faith they can replace them.

The only negative is that now Bryan is gonna get beat by Brock. Not just beat. But more than likely jobbed the f*** out.

Think the biggest question is, like... Where the f*** do you even go with Bryan as champion now?
He defends against AJ and... Then what? People've stopped caring about Rusev since they killed Rusev Day for no reason, no one's going to take Hardy or Mysterio seriously as a threat in Mania season, what does that leave? The rumor that Miz is turning face soon?

WWE on the panic book is a trippy thing, I tell you what.
On one hand, I’m glad Bryan’s won it again. On the other hand, weird to see them do it as part of a heel turn. On a third hand, which I can’t explain... I do feel like a bit of the juice had kind of gone out of Bryan in the last few months, especially as so many started to gravitate towards Becky Lynch, so if this freshens things up for him, let’s see where we go.

It feels and came off as panic booking, it almost felt like something the could have built to over four-to-six weeks, possibly longer they did as a rash reaction to generate interest and "water cooler" talk.
With that said, even though I know the outcome, I'm slightly more interested in a Daniel Bryan vs. Brock Lesnar match than I was for another Brock Lesnar and AJ Styles, but this still feels like the WWE hitting the panic button.

I'm all good with this.
It's fresh, I'm sure they didn't force it on him, and I'm interested to see what he's gonna do with it.

They can't, and this is going to go like Punk's 2012 heel run. They'll do whatever they can to get him booed, it'll only work 1 out of 10 times, then Bryan will just casually be a babyface again when WWE gets bored.

Really on the subject of the whole Bryan prefers being heel thing... I genuinely don't care what he wants. To me he's a lot more entertaining as a face and that's what I actually want to see.

You don't have KO returning until next year. A Miz face turn is not a good idea. The person I do want as a heel in Finn can't turn now.
Samoa Joe as a bad ass face needs to happen now.

In addition to being happy Bryan is changing up his shit, I was pretty much at the point where I would have taken just about anyone as champion, as long as it got the belt off of AJ. That run stopped being interesting many months ago.

I do like his demented smile I've always liked DB more as a heel so i'm willing to see how this goes However, SD turns every popular face a heel SmackDown booking is TNA.

I want a Heenan at BATB 96 esque "I told you so" by Miz soon, roughly akin to "What have I been saying all this time, huh?"
