In Sam Roberts' State of Wrestling podcast Bryan stated that when he won the IC Title he wanted to be exclusive to Smackdown and have the IC title be feud as Smackdowns title and feud with guys like Cesaro & Ryback.
What's your opinion on this?
I would have loved it.
Just been listening to this Daniel Bryan interview with Sam Roberts which I though I'd post as it's a decent listen. Few things in the interview which I found interesting;
1) He pitched the idea of him only appearing on Smackdown with the intercontinental title, which would allow the chance for the likes of Cesaro, Cody Rhodes and Ryback to compete for the title with him and have the chance to prove that they could lead a show. A chance which he thinks they won't get otherwise now that there is just the one world title.
2) He also thought that putting him onto a seperate show would help take some of the heat of Roman by separating them. He also praised Roman's ring work and his promos (when he is allowed to be himself).
3) He really likes Heath Slater and thinks he could be this generations Honky Tonk Man. References the US open title challenge and Raw legends segments and says he always entertains whenever given the chance. I actually very much agree on this point and think Heath makes for a very solid mid card heel.
4) He thinks that wrestlers from the independent scene are having so much success in the WWE currently due to the fact everyone on the roster is so overexposed and the indy guys know how to cover the overexposure more by mixing things up.
EDIT:
On episode 40 of the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast, Roberts interviewed WWE's Daniel Bryan. Among other topics, Bryan talked about his preference for separate RAW and Smackdown rosters. Also, Bryan revealed his plans for the Intercontinental Championship before his reign was cut short due to injury.
When asked whether Bryan would prefer a brand split, he replied, "yes, I would much rather there have a brand split."
Bryan claimed that a brand split would create more opportunities for talent and that one of his goals in coming back from injury would be to help "elevate other people".

Bryan indicated that the Intercontinental Championship could be the main title on Smackdown while the WWE World Heavyweight Championship could be used on RAW. According to Bryan, the Intercontinental Title picture would become "what it was when I was a kid, where it was like I was every bit as excited to see the Intercontinental Title match as I was the World Title match."
Bryan claimed that a brand split would create more opportunities for talent and that one of his goals in coming back from injury would be to help "elevate other people".
