If Bryan is back competing full time again, if that is the case which brand do you think Bryan will be competing on post Mania? Will Bryan end up a RAW guy once again? Or will Bryan stay on Smackdown Live?
Personally I want to see Bryan stay on Smackdown Live and why? He can be a stalwart on Smackdown Live similar to how Taker was for years and years but also Smackdown Live could use the star power on their show especially if they keep Bryan
But then again Bryan is like face of the company anyway he would instantaneously be your #1 or #2 babyface in the company besides AJ Styles well hell he would instantly be the face of the company over Reigns in a second so that being said shouldn't he be on RAW anyway?

He’ll be on SDL until the next shake-up. Vince wants all his money makers and favorites on Raw. Bryan certainly isn’t the latter, but he’s definitly the former and I wouldn’t be surprised if both him and AJ are Raw guys by this time next year. That’s IF the brand split lasts that much longer.

He should stay on SmackDown! Afterall, there will be a lot of aftermath with Owens/Zayn. Plus I can see Rollins/Balor/Miz getting drafted to SmackDown!

Couldn't put this in the 8 page Bryan thread, huh?

Hopefully away from Reigns for Reign's sake and the fans sake. I'd keep him on Smackdown with a new Smackdown six of Rollins, Bryan, AJ Styles, Nakamura, Samoa Joe & Rey if he returns full time.

He has more of a chance to be the top guy on SDL than he would on RAW Where its All About Vince's Samoan demigod.

He will stay on SD! cause even Vince can't be dumb enough to think that this could be a good idea for Reigns.

My mind still can't fathom the matches we would potentially see.

Why do people keep hinting at a premature end to the brand split? Has anything been reported to suggest its coming to an end? I don't think it's been as much of a failure as some people say. There's also far too much talent in the company not to have a split,especially if you look at potential call ups from NXT. The only thing I'd change is more interpromotional matches at the big 4 PPV's so we can still see these dream matches and feuds.

Mixed match challenges Cena on both shows and the end of brand PPVs. I wouldn't be surprised if theres Raw Supershow's by next year.

I expect him to remain on SD. There were rumors a few months back that Vince wanted AJ on RAW. Well with Bryan back, he can move AJ now without crippling SD completely. And if this WWE/Fox deal does go down, Bryan (And Nakamura) could be the driving force to get fans to follow SD to FS1.
Now just draft him some quality opponents. Miz & Samoa Joe would be ideal. Finn, Seth, & Dean would work also if any of them turn heel.

I expect him to stay on Smackdown. Though, truthfully, I don't see the brand split lasting all that much longer.

The only thing I'd change is more interpromotional matches at the big 4 PPV's so we can still see these dream matches and feuds. They've started doing more dual-branded shows like MMC and they’re having people like John Cena and Corey Graves appear on both shows. The split has been slowly dying ever since the shake-up last year. This is exactly like the first split. SD is (or was) the better show just as it was from 02-05 and Vince didn’t like it so he killed it by moving multiple big marketable stars to RAW and giving SD lower tier stars in return.

I'd like him to stay on Smackdown due to AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Bobby Roode, et al. However, there could be another Superstar shakeup coming up.

I say keep Bryan on Smackdown
As for the Brand Extension, the ONLY way it'll fully come to an end is if the Fox deal goes through and they don't want the rosters split. The only reason it came back was because USA wanted Smackdown to have it's "own roster" when the show went live Tuesdays. If they stay on USA and both Raw and Smackdown stay live then the Brand Extension is here to stay.

Bryan conquers Strowman in a David VS Goliath matchup. Calling it now.

It's also important to note that Vince is probably going to want to keep Bryan and Roman far away from each other. They finally made some headway with Reigns (although they've sort of undone it again the last couple of weeks), they last thing Vince is going to want is the unnecessary headwind of the crowd demanding Daniel Bryan.

There are several Bryan threads.
Two of which are yours.
Never thought I'd say this about Daniel Bryan topics but dear lord chill.

I would leave him on Smackdown and make him a main player,If the rumors are true of the Hulkster possibly coming back as the GM of Smackdown adding him and Bryan to the mix with Styles,Nakamura,Roode...ect could really be a boost and a strong foundation to build the brand around.Kind of a side not but I hope that if the brand split continues and for the next shake up that Smackdown gets Balor & Joe from RAW,a returning Rey Mysterio and some young talent from NXT like Almas & Gargano.While shipping out Orton,Mahal,Corbin & New Day to RAW.
