Bryan needs some new blood to feud with name 5 and explain why if you feel like it

1) Ziggler
2) The Miz
3) Cody Rhodes
4) Damien Sandow
5) Antonio Cesaro

Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt are all pretty much there anyways but figured I would add them anyways

#1 - The Fucking Miz.... Just because he is The Miz. Man is much better than the last two years booking would have us viewers beleive.

#2 - Wade Barrett.... At The head of The Nexus he looked like he belonged at the top of the card. I have no idea how the WWE has fucked him so badly.

#3 - Cody Rhodes... I think after he splits with his brother It really can be his time for a significant push. he's solid in the ring Has a great look and is getting better and better on the mic too.

#4 - Ryback... I'm loving Ryback lately...This whole gimmick is great and if it was pushed properly would see him a massive star.

#5 - Heath Slater & Drew McIntyre.... Heath Slater is fantastic, There is no reason I can see that he isn't already working his way up the card... He's got Charisma and skills in the ring and can be hilarious on the mic. WWE Dropped the Ball on McIntyre....He had the goods when he was 'The Chosen One' I'm sure there is some backstage nonsense that I'm unaware of...

all those guys you mentioned would draw zero for a championship match against bryan. and now that I think about it, theres not many main eventers he would draw with currently aside from Cena. Maybe this whole DB world champ isn't such a good idea long term

Miz belongs in the upper card as a heel, not so much as a cheesy babyface. Honestly, he doesn't need Bryan to elevate him, just give him more mic time.

I think though there is a flaw here. A Bryan Championship Reign shouldn't be filled with a bunch of long feuds, it should be a two-three month reign that has him defending the title almost every night sometimes even twice. Once he gets the thing the Authority has got to put the pressure on him until he finally breaks. He is absolutely best when he's chasing the title or being abused by the man and the fans want to see him win.

So don't use Bryan to elevate talent, use him to fulfill the wishes of the fans. Make it all about him.

Here's how I'd do it:

Bryan wins against Triple H at Mania to get a spot in the main-event, wins title. Big celebration, Triple H and Steph are seething with rage as they do everything in their power to stop him and fail.

All of these matches except tag matches are going to be title matches:

Raw, Triple H gets on the mic and vows that Bryan will not be the Champ come Extreme Rules, Bryan goes against Dean Ambrose and wins in spite of heavy interference.

Smackdown, Bryan goes against Bray Wyatt, same thing.

Raw, Bryan goes against Orton in a No DQ and wins despite Triple H interfering.

Smackdown, Bryan and Cena go up against NOA, no contest as Triple H and Randy Orton interfere, beat down Cena and Bryan.

Raw, Bryan goes up against Reigns in a TLC match and barely pulls out a victory, as Cena evens up the odds on the outside.

Smackdown, Triple H sets up a handicap cage match with Cena, Bryan VS. the Shield and the Wyatts, (Wyatts and Shield don't get along setting up a surprise win by Bryan and Cena)

Raw before Extreme Rules, Triple H is in the ring with a contract signing table absolutely pissed that nobody has put Bryan out of commission before the PPV, has Bryan come to the ring to sign the contract for his PPV match...with an unknown opponent, explains that if Bryan loses the title by the end of the night the contract is null and void. Bryan demands to know who he'll be facing and Triple H reveals that he'll be the one to end this mockery of a title reign and then Books Big Show VS. Bryan in a 2/3 tables match. Big Show comes in from the crowd while Triple H distracts Bryan and Big Show grabs Bryan for the chokeslam as they ring the bell. Big Show puts Bryan through the contract signing table and Triple H orders Big Show to end him. Big Show grabs the next table and sets it up in the corner and Bryan manages to surprise him with a desperation attack causing him to stumble and break the table himself. Big Show then dominates Bryan for 4-5 minutes and Triple H sets up the last table on the outside. Bryan reverses a choke-slam attempt, gets Big Show on the ropes and drop-kicks him off the apron for the win. Fans go insane and it's the opening match of the show. Backstage Triple H is looking for a heel to face Bryan, but nobody wants to do it out of respect for him. Even Orton refuses the match telling Triple H it's Bryan's time.
The main event is Cena VS. Bray Wyatt, Bryan comes out to save the Cena from interference and they close the show with Bryan on the turnbuckle with the title.

Extreme Rules: Bryan pulls out a win that basically copies Triple H VS. Jericho at WM whatever, Stephanie interfering a lot, but Bryan finally pulling out the victory. Only the match has taken a lot out of him.

After this you could end it almost at anytime, there would be no more screw-job attempts, but Triple H would still hate his guts. Maybe put Bryan in a feud with Lesnar at this point and have him drop the title at the next PPV.

that could be worth the risk in it as far as giving title matches away free on tv because the network will be in full effect by then.

I would assume he drops it to Batista , and then starts his chase that lasts through the winter,and DB wins rumble next year. But im sure batista got a guaranteed title run in his deal when he came back

Batista always has infinite title shots, it's part of his contract. The Batista code is always switched on.

Your heart is in the right place, but in my opinion, Bryan should NOT be feuding with those guys right now. Instead - Bryan should be feuding with - and consistently going over - the following:

1) Randy Orton
2) John Cena
3) Triple H
4) Dave Batista
5) Sheamus
6) Alberto Del Rios
7) Kane
8) Big Show
9) Rob Van Dam (when he comes back).

For half a year or more, have Bryan get the better of the majority of these established veterans. Really build up Bryan.

On the flip side - keeping building up the newer generational talents in The Shield, Wyatt's, Zigger, Cesaro, etc., in separate feuds.


Look at Austin back in 1997-1999 for instance. His main feuds were with established veterans such as HBK, Bret, Taker, Foley, and Kane. An established and well built up Rocky feuded with him at WM-15. Towards mid-late 1999, once Austin been established the FACE of the WWE, then you had him consistently facing guys like HHH, and then ultimately Angle, Jericho, Benoit, etc., etc.

Major Feuds I'd work with him.

1. Batista. Big Man. Power game. Triple H's plan B. Since Orton failed as the "Face of the WWE," He'll go with the next best option.

2. Bray Wyatt. He being able to stop him. And you have the numbers game. And the outcome being something where we set up a follower for Luke Harper.

3. Miz. All you really have to do is play off the in-character history. I know, we don't care to for the most part. But it's an easy one.

4. Mark Henry. Have him be the weapon of choice for Triple H. His motivation being it'll be his realistic last chance at the title.

5. Antonio Cesaro. Start a bit where they start playing off a new found brutality, including him using the double stomp to the head. Let him use the Alpamare Waterslide, as well.

I already mentioned it, but he could easily accomplish it the same way Triple H did back in the day, only as a face. I remember when Triple H was constantly being put in handicap matches and just being thrown into it week after week under Vince.

Do that with Bryan for two months with the title, then let him chase the title in longer feuds with the guys you're talking about. If Lesnar goes over at one PPV, Bryan goes over at the next. The fans are loving baby-face Bryan and that's something I never thought would or could happen.

He should get the chance to really shine while he's hot and the fans love him. Then, when it dies down a bit, he can elevate anyone he wants to work with, but until then, fuck that.

I agree with those who are saying that Bryan should be facing already established talent.

Because we're right. How would you go about doing it? Starting from Mania.
