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. |

Speaking of Rock/Cena I gotta say with my 15+ year wrestling history and knowledge, this match will not be for the WWE Championship. That would be an utter waste of title space. Rock/Cena in no way needs that title to get the match over. Wrestlemania is just fine with a big main event superfight ala HBK/Taker or HHH/Taker.
My instincts tell me that Bryan will face CM Punk for the title at Wrestlemania if he does indeed make it to that point. WWE seems to be running HHH/CM Punk going forward, but I feel it may culminate at Survivor Series due to WWE obviously trying to get bigger buy for the steadily declining PPV classic. And ontop of that, Wrestlemania is already going to be stacked, with Cena/Rock as the main event, 2 World Title Matches, as well as a match to beat the streak, Wrestlemania won't NEED Triple H to succeed. It actually could be damaged by it But actually, now that I think about it, I'd just as much like to see Punk/Bryan as I would Orton/Bryan, and that is a possible match they could go with for the card I believe. And if that were the case then yeah I could see WWE running Punk/Triple H to the big one. Either way, Wrestlemania is gonna be f'n huge. Also I wouldn't mind The Miz to be the next guy to try and defeat the streak, or The Royal Rumble to determine who does indeed get that chance, instead of a title match. Just an idea, could be interesting. |

PROS
- It gives them time to build DB in the eyes of the fans, to get the "WWE Universe" behind the "Internet Darling" - Conversely, if he doesn't get over to the point they want him to be at, they can have him lose the briefcase to somebody else prior to Mania or cash in and lose the match well in advance of April '12. - It points to the WWE being ready to use "long-term booking" - It's something different to the "HOLY SHIT! He's cashing in!" moment that we've already seen this year from ADR. It becomes a "journey" rather than a "moment" - Even more so, it means that DB's first title win (should it happen) will be more "legitimate" than Punk's, Edge's, Miz', Der Rio's, etc. Kinda feel like the MiB is a blessing in disguise. - If DB were to get injured - and depending on how long he will be out - you could even use that as the storyline. Show his surgery on TV, show him in recovery and training to get back in time for Mania to achieve his dream. Or if you must take the case off him when he gets injured, have him win a title shot at the Rumble or in one of the Chambers (overness permitting) |

What I wonder is what happens if the RR winner is from Smackdown. Will DB cash it in and make it a triple threat?

I can see Punk winning the rumble, and the "title" he wants is Triple H's career.

If they can keep this feud going that long, that is.

My guess is that he'll win the title and still have the briefcase.

Lose it in a lame fashion, then cash it in to restart and win.

CM Punk wins the Royal Rumble, stays on RAW. I’d have Alberto Del Rio still with the title. Del Rio vs. Punk at WrestleMania for the title. Punk wins. Daniel Bryan comes out and issues a challenge to cash in his contract later on in the night (with Punk accepting) before smashing the briefcase right into Punk’s arm deliberately. He then cashes in, slaps the LeBell Lock on Punk, and wins. Bryan will say that he agrees with Punk’s ideals, but not his actions. Thus, Punk will give Bryan a beating and set up a series of matches. |

I'd personally keep the WWE Title on Alberto Del Rio until WrestleMania XXVIII. I think he's doing a fine job as champion from what I've gathered, and once his reign gets momentum, he could be a pretty huge deal as WWE Champion. I mean, here's an easy way to book Del Rio through to WrestleMania:
Night of Champions: Del Rio puts Cena in the Cross Armbreaker, Cena gets to the ropes, and Del Rio refuses to break. Del Rio is disqualified, but still WWE Champion. Cena has a sore arm. Alternatively, they've also set-up Christian to cost Cena the match quite effectively. Hell in a Cell: Cena gets another shot, without outside interference or DQs. In this match, Del Rio again puts the Cross Armbreaker on Cena, who gets to the ropes, but Del Rio doesn't need to break the hold. Cena actually has to tap, putting Del Rio over huge. Vengeance: If he's all healed, a grudge match against Rey Mysterio would be fine here. Del Rio again retains his WWE Title -- beating Rey cleanly like he did when he first debuted. Survivor Series: Del Rio defends the WWE Title against someone, I imagine. With The Rock likely being part of the event, he could be the Special Guest Referee is another match between Del Rio and Cena. But Del Rio retains when The Rock turns on Cena, and builds their WrestleMania feud while Del Rio continues on as WWE Champion. TLC: Del Rio faces someone in a TLC Match for the WWE Title. It could be anyone. Could be a "feud-ender" with John Cena, or it could be a Ladder Match with John Morrison, Kofi Kingston or the like. It depends on who they want to win the... Royal Rumble: Del Rio, of course, defends his WWE Title, and then turns his attention towards the Royal Rumble. Depending on what their WrestleMania plans are, you could have CM Punk or John Morrison win from RAW, getting a WWE Title shot against Del Rio at the grandest stage of them all. You could also have Randy Orton or Sheamus win from SmackDown!, and use the title shot to jump over to RAW and challenge Del Rio. It all depends on who the WWE wants to walk out of WrestleMania WWE Champion. Elimination Chamber: A Chamber match featuring the top RAW Superstars sees Del Rio retain the WWE Title. WrestleMania: The babyface challenger finally unseats Del Rio. |
