Daniel Bryan is the most must-see superstar in WWE right now from a storyline perspective (Sorry, Miz!). There's nobody in the company who's in a storyline like he is and SmackDown creative has done the best thing by making him the focal babyface of the show.

Even when he was a heel earlier this year, there was so much brilliance and Kofi Kingston's rise as a babyface would not have been the same without Bryan's masterful heelwork. The feud against The Fiend has also spun-off into a recurring storyline with The Miz, a man who Bryan has a lot of history with.

Not only do they have character consistency since they hate each other as babyfaces, but tonight a new element was added to it. The Miz spoke to Bryan in-depth in the locker room about the dangers of challenging The Fiend again.

As much as he hated to admit it, he said that Bryan was very valuable to SmackDown and he needed to think about that, himself and his family, the latter of which got an angry response from Bryan. The two men are headed for a long-term story here and it's not going to be a generic one. Tune in because this is going to be interesting in the coming months!
