The only way I can see this working as a 'work' would be if it's mentioned that Danielson was made the scapegoat by Wade Barrett who is the leader of the 'NXTWO'. Leading to the following scenarios:
Barrett will interfere in the main event at Fatal Four Way, Barrett will win the Money in the Bank ladder match (ahead of Kofi - who is on the poster - and Evan Bourne) and then Cena-Barrett at Summerslam and this is where we'll see the 'NXTWO' try and beat down on Cena (and Bourne) and then the return of Bryan Danielson to level the numbers.
If it isn't a work then the IWC gets some ROH or TNA matchups. Either way both sides win... the only way you can say this 'hurts' the WWE is that Danielson now has a higher profile than he did beforehand but considering the main audience didn't get to see him wrestle much then he won't be that much of a loss.
Put it this way - it'd be a better surprise if we saw Batista in TNA rather than Danielson.
EDIT: Level the numbers? What the hell was I saying - I meant clear house and then ultimately cost Barrett the title.
