Nah, there's still another month or so left. But who says the WWE can't re-hire someone before that? Although they won't.

If they do want to bring Danielson back (and I feel that they would), then it's the perfect time to do it. He's got that connection to the Nexus, so if he returns and people don't absolutely shit themselves live, it makes sense from the storyline perspective. Would be a pretty smart way to bring him back.
Then he can turn on Cena and rejoin Barrett and co. ![]() |

I still think its Vinny Mac, the whole Bret + Vince working together angle is big enough for Wrestlemania, let alone Summerslam, if I do say so myself.

Like I said in that other thread, there's a chance it'll be a member of Nexus switching sides in the match. Could definitely see that.
As it stands, here are my possibilities (not including possible huge swerves): Triple H Vince Danielson (I've heard there are people talking backstage that it could be him) Or a member of Nexus, possibly Barrett. The way I see it, if Barrett bails on Nexus he can still be heel because it feels like a move Jericho would make in a cowardly way, to guarantee his job. |

Danielson would also work in the sense that he'd be brushing past The Miz for the gig. I'm not sure if someone has mentioned that already, but The Miz could be quite pissy about it, talk some shit about Danielson, and from there you have a feud over the US Title.

Yeah, that's why I think Danielson is a likely candidate. Even though he won't get the pop some of us would like (he won't, as knowing LA's crowd, they'd probably not know who he is) it would lead straight into his feud with Miz.

I pretty much entirely agree. Also, in the end, Danielson returns in a big way, yes, but he ends up with the mid-card title on RAW. Not dishonourable, but it's not like he'd be thrust right into the main event. They need to get that belt off The Miz somehow, and there aren't too many guys that The Miz hasn't beaten.

Because Bret can't take bumps, it might be a good idea to take him out of the match, too. Just show him lying beaten down earlier in the night. Then you can have Danielson and McMahon. One is a mark's surprise, and the other is a smark's.

I think Bret's in it for the match just to get heat on Nexus during the match. He'll get the sharpshooter spot, then get attacked viciously by Nexus.

Although I'd mark the fuck out, Danielson's an "I'll believe it when I see it" thing. I know all indications were that WWE liked him and didn't really want to let him go, but I'm not so sure they'd make him the big mystery guy in the main event of the 2nd biggest PPV of the year.
That being said, I do find it a bit interesting that he hasn't posted on Twitter in about 4 days after he normally would make several Tweets a day talking about his training and/or indy bookings. If he IS back, I'd have to assume he'll be back on the main roster. I wonder if WWE would allow him to pull a Matt Hardy and let him finish up his bookings. I mean, pretty much every indy show he's booked for is advertising him as the top draw. Would suck for them if he couldn't compete, but then again "card subject to change" has always been the rule in wrestling. |

Yeah. He apparently wrestled on a show in NY tonight and he said in his blog that he was returning to Puerto Rico on the 15th (ie: the night of SummerSlam). He's the champion of that company and is in the middle of a big angle with Savio Vega or something.
But, who knows. It's entirely possible that Danielson told all of these promoters that he reserves the right to back out if WWE wants to bring him back. |

Where did you hear that from? Hope it's true.
If it does happen, I kinda want Danielson to immediately turn heel to bring the group back to where it was before. They can say the whole "he felt remorse" thing was just a set-up to lure WWE into a false sense of security with the plan to stab them in the back at SummerSlam. Certainly would help out the notion that Nexus have everything planned out perfectly. Would also allow for a Barrett/Bryan power struggle in a few months to possibly separate the group at Survivor Series. |

Danielson would lend a lot of credibility to the group. He just makes everything look so crisp, and if they sell him as a killing machine, people will buy. He could say that when he walked away from the company out of respect, he expected a call, but he didn't hear a peep from anyone. The remorse was gone, so he gave Barrett and call, and now he's back in the Nexus business.

You rank Summerslam higher than the Royal Rumble? But I do agree with you that he isn't a name that most people would go crazy for at the PPV. But outside of HHH, I think if they go with anyone else from RAW, it would have to be Randy Orton. Rey Mysterio isn't from too far away, and you can have Kane and Mysterio be the match before the 7 on 7... and maybe put Orton and Sheamus out there third. I don't know what else to really say, because a lot can happen... Orton wins and nothing happens with the Miz, this would give team WWE momentum of having the Champion on their side. Then again, he could lose to the Miz or Sheamus and volunteer to join the team, but then team WWE looks like "losers" and don't look strong. I don't know. Ultimately, it will be either Miz, Orton, or HHH. I'd be shocked if it was anyone else. |

This pic is from a SummerSlam party:
SPOILER: show Not sure if it means anything. I'm under the impression that they treat this SummerSlam Axxess event like they do the WM Axxess, in that every contracted performer (except the Undertaker) shows up for autographs and such. Plus wasn't it only like a month ago that he had surgery? With Sheamus claiming to have ended his career he'd have to finish up that feud first unless they want Triple H to align with the Nexus and then have them break their truce with Sheamus in some odd double turn. Also, I kinda feel like he'd grow back the beard before returning to television. |

Also, I think you could explain the Nexus truce thing by having it be Triple H playing mind games. What is going to fuck with you more? Constantly being on the run or thinking you are finally safe just to find out you are in even deeper shit. ![]() |

I'm still sticking with my prediction of The Miz being the 7th guy. I think Triple H could very well be the leader of the Nexus, but it just feels like they have loose ends with Sheamus to tie up before he even enters the Nexus storyline. I'm really interested in seeing where this goes.
Xero, did you actually hear the PWInsider audio, or was someone just telling you what was said? If it's the latter I'm inclined to think somebody is just blowing smoke up your ass. Surely one of the news sites or the almighty Ryan Clark would have reported it by now. Anytime anything relatively "newsy" is said on PWInsider it immediately is leaked out. |

Ah. I dunno, I'm still not convinced. All the indy promotions are still heavily promoting him for their next show...including next weekend's shows. If he'd gone ahead and cancelled on them they'd have taken it down immediately. Who knows.
Also, I'm expecting the 7 on 7 tag to be the main event. If The Undertaker and Triple H return earlier in the show, wouldn't a Daniel Bryan return then look quite miniscule to everyone other than smarks? I dunno, hope I'm wrong. |

Hmm, so apparently a couple weeks ago Danielson cancelled the appearance he was meant to be at last night due to a family issue. However, he's still being advertised for a different show in a couple weeks with that same company.
Think that might clear things up a bit as to why he hasn't been heard from in a few days. IT'S ALL A WORK!!! ![]() |

Didn't consider this before but could another legend who got beat up recently may end up wanting a bit of payback and we already know Steamboat still has the stuff.

Triple H could still end up leading Nexus at some point imo.
But then again - I have no idea what's going on. I haven't watched Wrestling since Wrestlemania. ![]() |

The WWE have somehow presented Bryan as a pretty big deal, without him even really needing to prove it. I mean, his first match in the WWE against Jericho was pretty fucking sweet, but he's been mainly perpetuated via myth. Quite an interesting thing to see.

Well, people can say what they want about his look but WWE has found a way to package him as the indy sensation underdog and likeable. Plus when he gets in the ring it's fast paced and intense so people are behind it. It's not going to take much for him to get over if they just stick to what they've done so far.

i watched ss with a friend who only knew of Bryan from basically the initial NXT invasion, and didnt know why I was so excited when he came down the isle. Within 2 minutes of watching Bryan in the ring, my friend was hooked and became a fan. |
