I don't expect it to be full commitment. My guess is that he'll be back to face within 4 months. Probably turning on them at Wrestlemania and costing the Family their match.
Seems like a way to get the Undertaker involved to me. Ultimately though they are either setting up a feud with the Shield or maybe they are setting up Bryan to come back as a face at a major event that ultimately results in him finally earning the title.
What blows is it appears that the brass doesn't believe in Orton enough to carry the brand so they set it up so Cena can win the title at the Rumble and carry it into WM.
It's less about Bryan and more about Bray Wyatt. They're going to use DB to make Wyatt a star, a rare instance of smart booking for this company these days. I would expect Bryan to turn face post-Mania, in any case. It's a short-term flip.
Matches I see at the top of the card at Mania:
Batista/Orton (title?)
Cena/Lesnar (title?)
Taker/Bryan
Punk/HHH
The one wrench might be deciding to go with Taker/Lesnar, in which case I think the only logical thing would be to slot Punk and Bryan together in that fourth match. Not sure how they get there storyline wise, though. Also not sure where that leaves Cena, but his place at the top of the card obviously is set in concrete no matter what direction they take.
I have a question for you guys that are in the know of all things WWE. I must have missed the part about Sheamus missing in action now for a while. Is he out doing movies? I've noticed he's been gone for months now & I was wondering what has happened to him.
I swear, Road Dogg Jesse James is still great with a mic. Put him on a mic all the time.
I grew up on the Attitude era stuff, so I would love for Road Dogg to get in on some announcing, even if it meant we got Billy Gun with em haha
Really glad they have Daniel Bryan with the wyatt's, maybe we can get him a real finisher now.
To me, one of the most believably painful finishers I remember was Low-Ki/Kaval's Warrior's Way. That just looked so incredibly painful every time I saw it.
You did. Also $60 startup fee. Not sure why they don't have PPV pre-95 tho. Once upon a time I would've been all over this, but the current product has killed my interest beyond that.
