I genuinely believe Bryan needs the neck surgery but I think it also ties in with the recent passing of his father and his recent marriage to Brie. It'll give him an extra bit of time off to comfort his family and have an extended "honeymoon period" with Bella-Bryan.
As for who will become champ, I think this opens up the door for Lesnar with no problem whatsoever. They can give him the championship without him having the beat Bryan by him making Daniel look like a rag doll. It all depends on when they bring Brock back. But with Heyman constantly making reference to him and him breaking the streak, it suggests he'll be coming back soon because if they leave it till SummerSlam (August) then Heyman will of just bored everybody with it - if he hasn't done already.
The other option is to have Evolution recruit new blood once Batista disappears for his film commitments. Orton as WWE champ (again!), Sheamus as US champ, Triple H and Reigns as Tag Team champs. That'll be a sight of old where Evolution has all the gold.
Not sure how many other options there is other than Cena, which I think the majority of us would rather not see. Too early for any of the Shield or Wyatt or Rusev, too late in their careers for Kane, Big Show, Henry, Triple H (I'd hope). Not enough charisma from Del Rio, Kingston, Van Dam. Not enough faith in Ziggler, Rhodes, Sandow, Langston.
It really is a limited list at the mo.
