I'm not entirely sure that Styles isn't going to win the belt back. I can see them wanting to use his loss to Bryan and stuff with Vince to "boost him." I know he wants reduced time and all that, but Styles vs. Orton feels more like a WWE Title match than Bryan vs. Michaels does (if those are the matches scheduled). I can kind of see Bryan's run being just a way to get people talking about him again and make people think he can win the belt at any time (kind of like Edge).
My money would be on Bryan retaining, but Styles would actually get something out of winning the belt from Bryan. He'd look like a guy who continually improves and solves his issues, which they might want if they plan to build SmackDown around him.
