I really like this idea and I hope we make it all the way to WrestleMania without injuries or WWE jumping the gun and having Daniel Bryan cash in early. The thing about the way RVD cashed in his MITB contract is that it earned him immediate respect. "Fuck you, I don't have to take your title cheaply - I'm going to do it when both of us are healthy and ready to go, and I'm going to beat your ass in front of everyone." It takes courage and integrity to do it that way, and for a face, that's perfect. The problem with the way CM Punk cashed in his first time was that it felt cheap - even though it was against the most hated heel in the company at the time (Edge), it didn't have that feel that RVD's had, because it was a face winning the World Title by sucker punching the champ.
It also adds intrigue to the Road to WrestleMania. You have the Rumble and you have the Elimination Chamber, but then you also have this guy who has already said he's going to cash in at Mania. So I'm pretty sure it's going to end up being a Triple Threat match. But how does DB play the Rumble or the Chamber? Does he target someone who he sees as "the least threatening" and help them win the #1 Contendership at Mania so that his job is easier?
Anyways, I like it. It's never been done before and I'm interested to see how it all plays out. Bryan is a great wrestler and if he ends this "season" as a legit main eventer with a World Title to his name, that only brings us a couple steps closer to Bryan vs Punk: Best in the World for the WWE or World Title, which everyone wants to see.
