Well, apparently the WWE was considering putting the belt on Bryan:
WWE officials reportedly were close to putting the WWE Title on Daniel Bryan at Sunday's Over the Limit pay-per-view.
The topic of Bryan winning the WWE Title was being discussed a lot over the past few weeks. Apparently the talks got "pretty serious" but the idea was nixed and they went with Punk retaining the title.
