Ya, he's kind of like a quality TV show that doesn't have the ratings yet but the network is going to give a little time anyway. He seems to sell merchandise and pop live crowds, it's hard to see who might do better in that spot. Though, how can they not be tempted to go back to booking the show around Cena when his segments do so much better? They're basically the same age, it's not a pushing the youth for the future situation.
On the other hand, I've also heard that Smackdown ratings have been comparably strong, and they're giving Daniel Bryan credit for that. I think his reign has already been longer than they planned on it being.
