A WWE Superstar is only popular for as long as they are in the limelight. Far too often, popular stars lose their momentum and get lost in the shuffle when they are without a Championship, and battling in the mid cards for an opportunity.

Given the huge roster, it takes only a moment or a false step for any star, no matter how popular, to have to head to the back of the line.

Since coming back, Daniel Bryan has seemed content being in the middle of the pack. He fought in non-title matches and was a part of every mid-card segment, including an extremely bitter rivalry with the likes of the former Intercontinental Champion, The Miz.

However, heading into Survivor Series, WWE is finally getting ready for the last stretch before the Road to WrestleMania begins.

This was the perfect opportunity for Bryan to get out of a five-man team (that too, as the co-captain) representing WWE, and get a solo match on Survivor Series instead, with the focus entirely on him and his singles match.
