Bryan announces he'll relinquish the championship, but only if he can pick the new champion. Steph gets frustrated and agrees.

I don't know having him win the title at Wrestlemania was probably better than having him win at a C level PPV.

They hosed up by not giving him the belt at HiaC but it sure worked out because he got way more popular because of it come joining the Wyatts. (Him getting a neck injury and the decision to strip him has nothing to do with when they should have given him the belt)

Wrestlemania was great, and the build between Elimination Chamber and Wrestlemania was great, but they have had no idea what they were going to do afterwards since they had to change their plans from top to bottom. If Bryan actually had a run with the title, Batista probably wouldn't have been poo poo on nearly as much. Since Punk quit we'd still end up with Bryan/Triple H at Wrestlemania and wouldn't have gotten the stupid Kane feud afterwards. And when Bryan had his surgery they wouldn't have to keep the title on a injured person because "oh poo poo, we waited way too long to give him a legitimate reign and we don't want the crowd making GBS threads on everything again. Guess we'll keep it on him as long as possible" only to have to strip him anyway because they took too long to put the belt on him. Its not the only major mistake, and a lot of good did come out of it, but they have no one to blame but themselves for the hole they've dug themselves into.

I really hope that they figure out a reason to have a second money in the bank match with a briefcase at stake. THe match for the title is great, but you have to imagine that it will include a number of guys who won't put forward the kind of match you'd get otherwise (Cena, Kane, Russev?, etc). I don't know how they could create another match that makes sense, but it's the WWE, they rarely make sense anyway.

My favorite time of the year other than the Rumble/Wrestlemania season is the period after MITB where you are always expecting the cash-in.

I stand on land.
Obvious and long-time coming, but still, this sucks. It's a shame that lackluster reign followed such a great WrestleMania. :smith:

So, barring some quick hotshot of the belt at Battleground (which seems unlikely to me, but what do I know), the winner at Money in the Bank is probably going to wind up facing Lesnar at SummerSlam in lieu of Bryan? I can't really think of anything except tossing it back to Cena on that logic.

I know where people are coming from with giving it to Rollins, but I don't think he's in a spot to main event SummerSlam. He also seems to be in the one planned out storyline they have going right now and that's probably better to stick to, for the whole Shield.

Ah, I thought it was being mentioned because Sting says it during his entrance sometimes. Then again I haven't seen more than maybe one Sting promo from TNA because I haven't seen TNA in a long time (nobody should) so I didn't know he did it during promos

It would be awesome to have two matches, one for the briefcase and one for the title, then to have whoever wins the case challenge the champ immediately after the title match is over.

Like imagine if they have Rollins or someone well-liked win the MITB, then give the title to someone boring like Cena. Just sucks the air out of the arena. Newly heel Rollins runs in after the title match and the place just blows up.

Yes, I realized after I typed this that it sounds like an idea a 13 year old boy would think up.

I do like that he says everyone takes you seriously in an expensive suit while wearing one that's bright red so at least one gag worked in that bad video - though I dunno how many of his bits were outright stolen from the joker so it's weird

This post wrestlemania season has not gone anyway like I thought it would. And while I'm sad we don't get an Austin title run for Daniel, I don't want him to rush his recovery and we'll always have Wrestlemania 30. These changes could turn out very interesting if handled well. Looking forward to Raw.

The funniest thing about comparing Austin to Daniel is that a ton of the awesome stuff Austin did to get over happened while he had a busted up neck and couldn't wrestle. They had to get creative with Austin and did interesting promos and skits, rather than trotting him out there to be yelled at by Stephanie a few times.
