You people have it all wrong. Daniel Bryan is not a clone, he is an extracted version of the real thing. Go back to the end of nxt, remember him citing the return of Bryan Danielson? He did actually come back. Danielson was in that ring before wwe realized the major differences between the two, despite Stryker's best attempts to warn them. It became realized after tiemaggedon and wwe put together a plan to remove Daniel Bryan from Bryan Danielson. It was impossible to do it completely and they didn't want a clean version anyway as he wasn't good enough. Instead of doing what they did to Foley, new technologies have been made to allow a full superstar out of the larger shell. That is Daniel Bryan. What they didn't anticipate however is that he'd remember Punk so well. Punk got the okay to rock the boat, but now they it's too late, heis trying to access data he does not have. He will instead try to recreate it, but the needed systems aren't there. He can't wrestle, let alone beat, Punk as he is at even a third of Danielson capabilities. The only reason he got to where he is lies behind the reason he is there: raw talent could not be removed.
As for where Danielson is, few know. He was taken for medical testing and as an emergency precaution should the experiment fail. He too however is remembering. It won't be long until they meet.
