I thought it would be cool if they actually made a storyline about Bryan being cleared by doctors... but not the WWE doctors. Have Triple H try to prevent him from stepping back into the ring because he's not convinced it's safe. After a lot of fighting and maybe even a second "'Yes' movement" Bryan gets a match to reclaim the IC title against Kevin Owens. It seems like it's all leading to a triumphant WrestleMania moment for Bryan... but he loses. And from there you can have Triple H mockingly asking Bryan if he's okay the next night on Raw and basically spending the next few weeks saying "I told you so". This could lead to many possibilities including a feud between Bryan and a newly beefed up "Authority" stable that could keep him very relevant but not necessarily in the title picture.
Love your Jericho/Ambrose idea, and this one too. It's pretty much how I would have done it Owens/Bryan -- with the same result too. Owens could play a jerk really well in this feud.

After Mania, and people may not be on board with this, I also had the idea that there would be a segment where Sami Zayn emerges as Owens' next IC Title challenger. Bryan is involved in the segment, and talks about how he laid it all on the line against Owens and came up short. He then turns his attention to Sami Zayn and asks him "Do you really think you can do what I couldn't?" and proceeds to kick the living crap out of an unsuspecting Sami Zayn.

Would a Bryan heel turn work? Well, let me at least explain my reasoning for it:

* Bryan's babyface style relies on him going balls to the wall. A heel style -- one which he also works fantastically well -- would mean he could throw himself around less and appear more methodical. It might prolong his career by quite a margin.

* The best heel turns are the shocking ones. No one sees a Bryan heel turn happening (or working).

* If anyone can get cheered against Bryan, it would be someone as likable as Sami Zayn.

* It sort of passes the torch to Zayn as the new "We believe in you" guy.

* I truly believe that a Daniel Bryan that has let the chip on his shoulder to come back and be the savior he was originally labelled mold him into a deluded maniac could be a really hot gimmick for him. Face Bryan, as beloved as he is, has lost any steam as being "the guy."
