Mid-Card Championship Winner
I also don't understand how Bryan being part of the Wyatt Family Stable is a good thing for him if this is indeed a the actual plan.
In Wrestling it's easier to get over as a heel and be booed a lot than a face being cheered by the crowed. Heck even the face of the company, John Cena, get a ton of boos in a number of live events.
Naturally when the number of unanimously over faces are in short (or shorter) supply than fringe fan favorites or outright heels then your stock in the company should rise. Considering the unsuccessful face pushes in recent years like The Miz, Kofi Kingston, Del Rio, and Ziggler that's even more true.
What I am saying is that you are in a better position to be a loved and cheered for face than a heel as part of a stable.
Even someone like The Rock when he was the Corporate Champion. Even when he was the Champion the focus of the group was mostly on Vince McMahon and Austin. The Rock was just playing 2nd tier to the whole especially at WM when his spotlight was just as much as Foley's or Big Show (potential guest referees). Once The Rock broke out of the stable that's when things started going for him.
Same goes for Bryan he had so much momentum riding in as a face and you become the most valuable at the roster if you are in that role.
