After fully watching RAW and Summerslam, I have a better understanding of this whole angle and am not in a blood rage about it really anymore now that I have more context, but I still remain that it would've benefitted everybody much more if Bryan just won. It's going to be very difficult to keep these types of attitude era-esque reactions for Bryan going forever and they should've struck while the iron was hot. Also, the whole premise doesn't really make that much sense. Hunter did this for business but the entire arena goes batshit for Bryan every night, buys all his merchandise, buys tickets to see him, and won't stop chanting his name? In kayfabe terms, they should fucking love this guy and all the cash he's raking in. They would've been better of just saying they didn't like him.
Really worried they won't be able to stretch this out all that long and that Bryan's immense popularity won't be capitalized on properly. Have a hard time thinking he'll ever be as over as he was at Summerslam, especially after RAW where they just completely buried him.
