So you want to turn Moxley heel on Bryan, right? Why wouldn’t you wait to do that until Bryan had a schedule cleared of opponents? Shouldn’t that have happened, say, at Grand Slam?
Mox and Darby could wrestle for a title shot. Mox can be weird on the side around Bryan or something. Mix can beat Darby then turn heel after Bryan finishes with Nigel — who could have actually won the Wembley gauntlet. Then you can have Darby show up and stake his claim as an ally to Bryan.
Then you can go into WrestleDream with Bryan vs. Mox, Darby vs. PAC, Nigel vs. Claudio…that sort of thing. Instead you’re going to either step on Mox’s heat or have Darby fail to defend his hometown title shot and have Bryan/Nigel happen without any focus whatsoever.
And why does Bryan need to be champ for any of this? I’m not a fan of the guys, but if Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland are going to be headlining All Out, why not just make it a title match? Swerve beats Bryan without the stip. Bryan has at least shown weakness to entice the Mox heel turn.
