With CM Punk leaving the WWE, I have a feeling that we will get Daniel Bryan screwed by The Authority at Elimination Chamber and a match with Triple H ensuing. Bryan beating Triple H at the grandest stage of them all would be a cathartic victory that keeps him away from the WWE World Title match, but also allows him to build momentum and continue to prove that he is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
The obvious aftermath to this outcome would be Triple H -- either due to a new found respect for Bryan or reluctantly -- giving Bryan a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Title. It is possible that this could come as early as the following night on RAW, which is a show the WWE will probably want to make a big deal out of. I have a feeling that if the company has signed Sting, this is where he will debut too. |

I'll say this: I wouldn't hate Bryan facing HHH. It'd get over huge.

I'd much rather see Bryan vs. HBK in a match, but I'm willing to accept that isn't happening. But the story behind Bryan vs. Triple H would be pretty epic. The WWE should consider polling the WWE audience as to which match they want to see headline WrestleMania XXX as well. New Japan Pro-Wrestling recently did it for their WrestleKingdom show. That way, if the fans don't really want to see Orton vs. Batista close, the option is there for Lesnar vs. Taker, Cena vs. Wyatt or Bryan vs. Triple H to close the show.
That way Bryan could potentially headline WrestleMania, but in a way that makes him look even more like the "people's choice" and "uncrowned WWE World Heavyweight Champion." It allows the "YES! Movement" to be addressed while also allowing two other guys to fight over the World Heavyweight Title. The biggest problem with Orton vs. Batista is that smark crowds will probably shit all over it as a headline act. |

You could always do Bryan vs HHH with the stipulation that if Bryan wins he gets put into the main event. So not only would you have the crowd behind Bryan against HHH, you'd have a Daniel Bryan who just wrestled HHH, is exhausted and now faces Batista and Orton in a three way dance.

I'll include that in my weekly booking ideas that I send to Titan Towers every week.
Right above Heath Slater becoming the WCWWECWCCW Champion along with the NWAWA Champion as well. He'd defeat Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Nick Bockwinkel, Taz and the ghosts of Lou Thesz and Kerry Von Erich in a 6 on 1 handicap scaffold match. Now you're probably asking "how are you going to get the ghosts of Thesz and Von Erich?" Easy, a returning Papa Shango conducts voodoo magic and conjures up their spirits. |

It's not THAT mind boggling. They have put forth an incredibly mediocre product for some time because they have no real competition. There's no need for them to reach for the stars and be anything more than they are, which his yawn worthy crap with the odd bit of good quality t.v.

I wouldn't be against that idea, but there are time constraints to keep in mind. Bryan going in with the disadvantage of already having wrestled fuels his story too.

that's what I mean, they wouldn't want to make Bryan look like a complete stud, going twice in a night because heaven forbid they make one of their most popular wrestlers look like a complete stud.

I'm convinced that they changed the location of Extreme Rules to Seattle at the last minute to give Daniel Bryan his "win the belt in his hometown" moment. If they go with the rumored HHH vs Bryan for a title match, you know he's winning at Mania. In the grand scheme of things I think it'll work out better for him that way, although I'm sure people will still bitch cause he doesn't win it at Mania.

I'd be cool with Bryan facing Triple H with a #1 contender stip for Extreme Rules in Bryan's hometown. Bryan would still get the ridiculous pop of defeating the legendary Triple H at Mania. And he'd still be getting that ridiculous pop winning the belt in his hometown. I don't see the problem.

Extreme Rules is now in Washington. It seems like they will plan something fucking huge for Bryan at that event. Whether that is winning the World Championship, successfully defending the World Championship or even being screwed out of it remains to be seen, but I imagine that Bryan will be the main event at that show. Payback is also in Rosemont, Illinois. CM Punk returning, even if just for one night only, would be fucking huge for that. Even if the company just books Bryan vs. Punk for the title and lets them go nuts for a while. "Who is The Best in the World?" |

Unless something drastic changes in the lead up to Mania, I don't see how Bryan gets entered into the main event. Now, Gertie had a brilliant idea, but of course my new tag team partner Gorgeous Dale made a very good point in that the WWE isn't known for making guys look that credible.
I don't see how or why they'd shoehorn Bryan into Mania's main event at this point. I'd love to see it, but I just can't see WWE realizing Batista isn't a big deal and would be stunned if he didn't walk out of Mania as champ. |

I could see Batista vs. Bryan at Extreme Rules ending with The Authority screwing over Daniel Bryan more directly than before, choosing Batista as the new face of the company, or perhaps even a new stable being formed around Batista to keep him champion. Perhaps The Wyatt Family officially reveal themselves to be in bed with The Authority here? My perfect booking for Cena vs. Wyatt at WrestleMania XXX would have Wyatt winning after Luke Harper and Erick Rowan attack Cena (it's a no disqualification match, but Wyatt wants to wrestle the first part against Cena alone). The Wyatt Family then take Cena to see if they can program him.
Cena returning with a new look at Extreme Rules and costing Daniel Bryan the WWE World Heavyweight Championship? That would cause a ruckus. |

"Triple H is apparently irate at the type of backlash the company is receiving about Batista and Daniel Bryan.
Triple H is said to be a well respected student of wrestling history and his decision to make Bryan the center piece of the company was envisioned to be much like Dusty Rhodes in the NWA. He based Evolution on the Four Horsemen. Both Flair and Rhodes are close with Hunter and helped him develop this idea. Dusty Rhodes was made to be a star in the NWA by losing and being over looked. He never had that "superstar look" like Ric Flair did. His war with the Four Horsemen and Ric Flair was legendary, but Dusty never officially beat Flair for the title. In 1982, Dusty Rhodes beat Flair for the title as the masked Midnight Rider, but was forced to unmask as the NWA did not allow masked wrestlers in the company. He was forced to return the title to Flair. At Starrcade 1985, Rhodes won the title again but the decision was overturned and reversed as a disqualification win for Rhodes and he again forced to return the title to Flair. Rhodes was beaten bloody, had his legs and arms broken from the Horsemen, but, he never won the NWA Heavyweight Title, yet he got over by losing at every corner. Dusty Rhodes was never "buried" or made to look weak, because he was booking the promotion! Dusty Rhodes once said "The most important person in a wrestling company is the bad guy, whether he's pretty, whether he's strong, whether he's rich, handsome, or scum. The good guys sell the merchandise but the bad guys sell the tickets. Everyone wants to see the bad guy lose, but in order to reach that point, the bad guy has to win a lot more than he loses. When that moment finally comes, it is a spectacle, it's a great moment. I was able to beat Flair a couple times in my career only to get it snatched away. That's what makes wrestling great. We live and we die with these stories." Whether or not Triple H stays on course with this story will be determined by the fallout of the CM Punk situation, as well as how well the company is received in cities around the country as the year goes on." |

The problem isn't that Bryan is being booked to consistently loose or screwed only to finally win. The problem is until Monday, Bryan (the most over guy on the roster) was not even being booked or planned to be booked into the title chase going into the biggest show of the year. He was quickly thrown into another storyline only to just as quickly be taken out of it, all with no thought as to the consequences of doing so. Not too mention the storyline reasons for quickly joining and then leaving the Wyatts were not remotely good nor were they adequately explained, probably due to the poor planning, sudden changes and rushing done by creative and booking.

My impression from Summer Slam was that this whole Daniel Bryan v The Authority storyline would finally come to a head at WM where Bryan would win the Championship and prevail once and for all over the Authority.
However with CM Punk's departure it seems that may be diverted somewhat but I think a victory over Triple H perhaps in a cell would be more significant. I envisaged a whole faces v authority storyline much in the vein of WCW vs NWO storyline with the face of the faces beating Orton to win the title and then all the faces celebrating in the ring. Maybe those days are gone? Either way I think the current authority storyline needs winding down or a significant boost because at the moment it is looking rather tedious. Interested to see where Batitsta fits in with The Authority. Maybe the Authority will screw over Randy Orton too and we see him become a face? Also wasn't Brock Lesnar meant to have a title shot? |
