The WWE were lucky that Bryan was 'over' to such a large extent, that losing cleanly to Bray didn't hurt him, but I'm a fan of that type of booking. When you've got a hot star like that, you protect him as much as you can. No reason whatsoever to have Daniel jobbing to Bray.
Other than though, I agree with everything you said.

At the time I remember thinking that I thought they were setting up Wyatt to face Bryan down the line. He could use the whole I beat you before, now I'll do it for the Rumble. Would have been an effective angle for Bryan because he was always positioned as the underdog. Now here's a guy who Bryan actually lost to, and he has to find a way to beat him to hang on to the belt. Of course he would then beat Wyatt.
The thing I would have changed is actually have Bryan win at the Feb PPV to earn the shot, but I think they liked the concept of the fans forcing The Authority's hand. Which played in the idea of the "YES Movement"
