There is a tremendous opportunity there. It was definitely weird the way they had HBK heel it up with Daniel Bryan on RAW. If that was a test to see if the fans would boo anyone against Bryan, I'm sure they got their answer. A lack of revenge on the Authority at this point in time could just be them waiting to blow it off. You know, since there is a really big PPV coming up soon...

Bryan is nominated for like seven Slammy Awards (and should really be nominated for a few more). Given his popularity and that he is actually looking like a good candidate to win many of them, he's likely to be a hot topic coming out of TLC, which is just in time for the Royal Rumble Match. Imagine if Bryan sweeps them all up: Some of them against The Authority's picks, and sometimes even against The Authority themselves (such as in Best Couple).

I also am not entirely unsure that the WWE aren't going to pull something weird at TLC. As a bit of a Christmas surprise to shake things up in time for WrestleMania season and all that. What if a stipulation is added on RAW that if Punk and Bryan can win their Handicap Matches at TLC then they get added to the Unification Match? Or maybe they are allowed to compete against each other and the winner of that match goes into the TLC Match? It's obviously there to stack the decks against Bryan & Punk while making it look like The Authority are giving them at least "opportunities."
