If WWE had to sell this PPV for $60, Daniel Bryan would be in the main event.

Because WWE knows people will pay for the network to see WM, it doesn't matter.

Blame the network

Also, Christian didn't get eliminated first (and got me Tipsters points for eliminating Sheamus), therefore I am mollified.

i guarandamntee you that is not the case

That's what I'm worried about. The payoff being DB vs Kane in an undercard match at WM. Maybe make it to get a spot in the main event...okay.

Mania Moment? Kane Vs. DB. Team Hell no Explodes in the curtain jerker.

For once, I'm trying to not over react. I can see a Gauntlet thing for Bryan to get into the Main Event. Maybe have to beat Kane on a Raw then HHH at Mania?

I can't honestly think they will still go with a straight Heel Orton vs Face Batista Mania Main Event. Just can't.

It is going to be Bryan/HHH and then Bryan/Orton/Batista in an 3-way elimination match. I think they will have Bryan beat Kane in Chicago to name the stipulation for his match with Triple H (which will be if he wins he is put in the main event) and he will win it after CM Punk returns to help stop The Authority from screwing Daniel Bryan. Kane gets publicly fired and returns in a few months as the masked monster again. Then, we get Punk vs Vince McMahon in a Street Fight at WrestleMania.

<font color=goldenrod>I still have some hope that Cole's reaction (which didn't put over Orton/Batista at all, only the constant screwing of Bryan) and the crowd shots will somehow lead to Bryan getting his chance, even if he has to wrestle another match earlier on the show.

Daniel Bryan winning the title at WrestleMania is literally the only outcome that makes any sense based on how this has been built.</font>

Evolution reunion in an unintelligently designed WrestleMania main event. Six weeks to change the match WWE. You have six weeks to get your heads out of your asses.

If Daniel Bryan is not in the main event at Wrestlemania I will ban myself. It is so obvious, that he is going in it, bros.

BOOK IT.

rob11, Eddie's reign and feud with Angle got overshadowed by Benoit winning the title and would still be so if it wasn't for the tragedy.

CM Punk vs Shawn Michaels would be fun.

Daniel Bryan is soooo going in the main-event of WM.

It will be D-Bry v. Batista v. Orton

Taker v. Lesnar

HHH v. Punk

Cena v. Wyatt

Rollins v. Reigns v. Ambrose

AJ v. Naomi

+ 4-5 more matches

They could still bust out Austin/Punk. Have Austin come out begging Punk to not make the same mistake he did only for Punk to jump Austin and tell him that CM Punk doesn't need advice from a wife-beating alcoholic shell of a man who sold out a over a decade ago.

As funny as I find the reaction when Bryan fails to walk away with the title and as much as I wish they would have just milked "Yes!" and his reactions without putting him in the title picture and giving marks the idea that he should be champion, they've booked themselves to where, honestly, they have to have him win the title at Mania.

As insanely retarded as WWE's booking generally is, I can't see any way they find a way out of giving Bryan the title without WrestleMania being marred by a crowd shitting on the entire show.

You guys seem to have a lot of faith....

Thats risky..

I think they need to have Bryan run a gauntlet at Mania just to keep the crowd into the show.

lol @ Batista being a face

Bo Dallas vs Heath Slater in the Main Event would be better than Orton/Batista right now

Still was a big payoff at No Way Out. I agree that a good idea would be for them to book DB vs Kane in Chicago with a spot in the main event on the line. I doubt Punk would come out although that would be the biggest pop since Austin came out to help Foley win the title on Raw, but that makes sense, but they continue to act like Batista is over when he's been literally booed out of the building in 2 PPV's in a row. Do they honestly think he will be cheered at their biggest event of the year?

Then he'll have a Benoit-esque ho-hum reign for a few months, lose the title and get phased back out of the title scene.

Vince McMahon is a genius and he has built this Daniel Bryan thing to a point where people are going fucking rabid for him to win the belt. Remember, Austin was white hot for awhile before he won the belt at Mania. Vince McMahon did the right thing at WrestleMania X with Bret winning, at WrestleMania XX with Benoit winning, and he will do it at WrestleMania XXX with Daniel Bryan winning. All the "10th" anniversary WMs have ended with the best workers in the business holding the title and having a huge fucking celebration.

I just want to see DB with the title with streamers and confetti falling. I still fear it will be Batista and the crowd will be silent after a silent main event with only boos and Boostista chants. Look at Batista tonight. That is supposed to be the top face contender for the title? The guy who was booed out of the building?

Austin won the Royal Rumble before that and won at the PPV before Mania. All of them won the Rumble before it.

He's more over than Benoit ever was. HHH/Bryan is the new McMahon/Austin. Triple H will completely lose his shit trying to get the belt off of Bryan. The money is always in the chase not the title reign. Give the fans their 4-6 month orgasm and then you basically re-start the cycle only with a different group of heels/henchmen for The Authority.

only if they choose to book it that way. the guy is and has been white hot. no reason that momentum can't continue. it'll be their own fault if it doesn't.

He attacked the Rumble participants at the raw leading up to the RR, won the RR, won at No Way Out, and stunned Chyna.

I'm not getting the Orton/Batista main event hate.

I don't see it being just them. I am now sure that they are going to do this Daniel Bryan guy right at Mania. I'm usually wrong on things, but I feel this

Vince is a genius. It is 2014 and if people boo the fuck out of Cena, why go with the whole "win the rumble, win the title at Mania" cliche? It's been done to death and this has added a shitload of emotion and anticipation in the fans.

If Bryan doesn't win the title at the end of WrestleMania, they would need to have something happen that is so fucking huge that it actually distracts the crowd from Bryan losing.

Like a Cena heel turn.

The crowd would be going nuts but in a "Holy shit!" way as opposed to a "This is shit. I am not entertained." way.

That being said, that's not gonna happen.

Spoiler: Bryan wins.

Bring back the Money in the Bank for WM, Bryan wins and cashes in later that night.

oh no a payoff most people want to see!

lol

I agree with Steele, they will do something at the Chicago Raw to try and keep the fans from basically destroying the show. Hogan won't be enough and Batista may get toilet paper thrown at him. That would be awesome to have Punk come out.

Main event of Raw, Bryan vs Orton for a main event spot at WM. Kane comes out like he did tonight but Punk runs out, goes after Kane and Orton. The pop would be historic. Have him come through the stands in his hoodie.

The most amusing thing would be if they put Bryan in the Main Event and Batista pins him to win.

Daniel Bryan winning a MITB and cash in. That is what must happen. It would return the favor for Orton doing it to him. So, it wouldn't be seen as taking a cowards way out just correcting an error.

Yeah, those guys did big business. If Bryan draws as well as champion as they did... OH BOY!
