Fans are now conditioned to have angles end after a couple months. I'm enjoying the whole Daniel Bryan angle. It's booked very old school.

When the whole "keeping Bryan down" thing began I was pissed about how Raw had the same ending every week for a month and Bryan was being booked to look like an ineffectual jackass. The long-term business has been very good, and Bryan has stood the (intentional or not) test to see if he could survive as a crowd favorite after being left out of the main event for a while. Orton/Cena take ten thousand has been very bland and uninteresting, and the Royal Rumble was the worst in years, but I still think they will end up somewhere good out of most of this.
Additionally, I love how they have actually been treating the Shield breakup as a slow burn instead of the usual load-blow. Monday was fantastic; Reigns is the breakout guy and Amrbose is the prima donna, so clearly things will blow up between them and... oh wait, Rollins is the problem child now. Unexpected and sweeeeet. Really hoping it goes past Mania. Rollins in a title match at SummerSlam would be damn fine.
