In 2013, since Summerslam, they were slowly, building and building up Daniel Bryan. Then the two huge matches would be announced, Daniel Bryan would then overcome the huge odds of beating superstars Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista in one night! Making Bryan look phenomenal.
then, I hate to say it, but all that build up went to waste, I'm not saying it's Bryan's fault, but those two Mania matches were built for a year, he beat three massive names. Bryan was the star of the 30th anniversary Wrestlemania, and then he get's injured a month later, and is still injured to this day.
now, I wouldn't be suprised if WWE is regretting this decision, so my question is, if or when Bryan comes back. Do you think they will still have enough faith in him to be a main eventer? To win the title? To headline another Mania?
I think, that he will win the title at least once more, I don't think it'll be for very long though. I don't think he'll main event any Mania's again.

Unless he purposely injured himself to get an extended period of time off, I don't see how they can lose faith in him. Although with Vince, if you're not incredibly over in one week he'll lose "faith" in you.

I don't think they'll be putting him in many big matches

Daniel Bryan is the best wrestler in the world today and my favourite wrestler in the world. As long as he is still able to put on great matches often I will be happy. Not everyone needs to win the WWE title numerous times to cement their legacy, at WrestleMania XXX Daniel Bryan cemented his legacy as a great superstar. If that's his last time with the WWE Championship, I won't be particularly happy he didn't get another chance, but I'll be content with that being the moment for him.
With all that said, there's no way to gouge WWE's feelings about Daniel Bryan because it's not like they've personally attacked him in his time off or anything along those lines, so there's no way of telling WWE's thoughts on him.

Yeah, remember how they lost faith in Austin after he was out with a broken neck?

It depends how he comes back, I am not sure if it is a stone cold broken neck or kurt angle broken neck.

I suppose Bryan was a big draw at that point, so that's probably the reason

I suppose Bryan was a big draw at that point, so that's probably the reason Because he knew the fans would hijack his biggest show of the year. Had nothing to do with drawing, although drawing doesn't matter anymore since there are no real buyrates.

Vince doesn't care about what is best for the company anymore, he cares about what he wants. exactly.Bryan's push to the top the first time was basically to placate the fans,since WWE never planned for him to be "The" guy. the second time,in the leadup to Mania, was a response to Punk leaving and the fans crapping all over Batista. so they threw Bryan into the Championship picture cause they knew the fans would accept him. let's not forget,the original plan for Mania was Punk vs Triple h and Orton defending against Batista,with Bryan in a mid-card match vs Sheamus. so without the perfect storm of circumstances that happened, Bryan would NOT have been Champion leaving Mania 30.. and even after that,he was booked to lose the title to Lesnar at SummerSlam,so he was never going to be the long-term "Face" of the company. that said,they've already moved on,prepping Roman Reigns to be the next big thing,with Ambrose and Rollins not too far behind. when Bryan comes back,yes,I expect him to be an upper tier guy,and in main event feuds and programs for the World Championship. however,I don't see them giving him back the Belt at any point in the near future,as not only do they have to be careful about his neck from now on,but he had his "allotted" time in the WWE scheme of things at the top,and that time has now passed. the real shame is that most of that slated time was spent on the injury list.

Drawing is every bit as important as ever.

When he comes back he will be the most over wrestler again, so WWE will have no choice but to give him a main event slot.

But Merch and ticket sales are fine without him, so he's not that important either.

I'm sure his merch has taken quite a hit, but if I remember he was at one point number 2 (albeit a distant number 2). Bryan could still be a huge draw when he returns, which does matter in WWE. The only time I can say drawing didn't make a difference in push is when Ryder took off.

The build went to waste before Bryan even got hurt. He was in a program with Kane after the biggest match of his life. WTF is that?
