@Lockard23 can probably
confirm
this) so they had what, nearly 6 months of his reign before that to go? A feud with Kane made sense considering their history and Kane's position in the Authority. Once he beat Kane he was likely to move on to cooler feuds, not that any feud could be less cool than a Kane feud.[/QUOTE]
It was reported even before Bryan's injury that he was supposed to wrestle Brock Lesnar at both Summerslam and Night Of Champions, plus Bryan did an interview last August where he said the most disappointing thing about being injured is that he'd be wrestling Brock Lesnar right now if he wasn't, which has been the dream match he's wanted over any other since Lesnar returned in 2012.
