Biggest Waste of Talent

When Daniel Bryan wins the US Title, I hope that they let him defend the title essentially every week, and that Zack Ryder gets a good showing with Bryan. A ten-minute match between the two on RAW one week would be awesome. Ryder could get insanely over helping Edge win matches here and there, and then being the target of a face's revenge. For example: Edge defeats Triple H with Zack Ryder's help; the next week, Triple H faces Ryder and while The Game goes over cleanly -- Ryder puts up a hell of a fight and is elevated by the performance. Ryder could pick up some big wins in tag team matches with Edge, too.

I actually feel like this interaction may be leading to a Ryder face turn. I can see the two having a match after Edge calling Ryder a tool one too many times, and Ryder demanding a match. Ryder picks up a fluke win over Edge, and the next week Ryder cuts a short promo about his win before, say, an inconsequential match with an Uso. A minute in, Edge comes out and spears the ever loving shit out of Ryder.

Have them feud for a month or so, hell, even give them some time on a PPV.
