So, here go my impressions:
- Rhodes vs. Outlaws: couldn't see it, that's unfortunate. Rematch at WM? I think so.
- Bryan vs. Wyatt: great match and now the Wyatts will feud with Cena. Bryan will probably get Sheamus at WM.
- Lesnar vs. Show: weak match, short and uninspiring. But they tried to make Lesnar looks strong and I don't know who is next for him. He wants the title, but he can't fight for it before WM. I'm starting to think he will fight Undertaker at WM, if Taker is in condition (they don't have anyone else, but they could of course bring back Y2J for that). If not, I see a triple threath: Batista vs. Orton vs. Lesnar.
- Rumble: EL Torito? Man, that was weird... Nice spots from Kofi as usual. Punk stayed all the night and now will fight H at WM for sure. When Bryan did not show, it was clear that Batista would get. The surprises were Shield. Well, the stable is now over and I think we will see them fighting at WM (triple threat?). Reigns got a big, big push. 12 eliminations? Breaking Kane's record? That's the begining of his rise.
All 3 Shield guys can be main eventers. Rollins has to work harder to gain individual fame, prove that he works out of Shield's shadow. Ambrose has great mic skills and is entertaining, this guy can make amazing promos and that is his ticket to main event. Now, Reigns is impressive. He got decent mic skills and an imposing ring presence. This guy will fly to main event faster than anything.
| bugrimmar said: You guys don't get it. The fact that everyone's mad right now is great for the WWE. They realize that they have a Rock-type atmosphere with Daniel Bryan, and they don't want him to fizzle out prematurely. That's why he's with the Wyatts right now. They're making him like this underdog that everyone wants to win but just can't get out of that shadow. Remember how The Rock became as big as he was in the 90s? He was the company's top draw for so long even without the title, and he gained it after so many various insignificant feuds. I think WWE is doing the right thing with Bryan. They see the potential. If they try to make him like super-Cena right now, people will end up not caring about him after a short span of time. Bryan is only starting. It's only been a short time since he went solo and the "yes" phenomenon went out. He still needs buildup and there are many years left in the tank. It's still Cena's WWE right now. They can't replace the guy yet until he completely turns heel. I think that's the big deal here. You heard me. That's the biggest possible draw you can get. Cena turns heel on Bryan, essentially passing the torch. You gotta remember, the majority of the fanbase of WWE right now is kids. Kids love the hell out of Cena. When Cena turns heel on Bryan, all the kids will have their loyalties transferred. Right now, it's still too dangerous to do it because Bryan still isn't big enough with the young crowd yet. But look at what's happening: Wyatts just beat the hell out of Cena. It looks like Cena and Bryan will team against the Wyatts.. and hopefully, this is the time when Cena will turn heel on Bryan while they're teaming. I love the direction it's going. I don't want Bryan to be rushed. |
Exactly that. Bryan is in a big push since Team Hell No. And since he entered WWE, they always liked to book him like the underdog (losing streak at NXT, losing to Sheamus in WM that quick), because it draws money. People will pay to see if now he will succeed. They aren't deaf, they hear the croud reacting. And the bigger crowds of the night were for Bryan and Reigns. But I don't think we will see a heel turn from Cena. Maybe they try a face vs. face match like Hogan vs. Warrior and that could be awesome.
