A+ players like John Cena and Triple H would never leave to get surgery and I for one am ashamed by Daniel Bryan.



Hope that little shove as Bryan got carted off in the ambulance is the build up to Brie Bella vs. Stephanie McMahon at Payback!!!

I really hope they do something with Sandow. Even if it's him constantly trying to do a pipebomb and getting interrupted.

I feel like unless there's a crazy stip added it's going to end with Ambrose turning on the Shield after being bought by Evolution.

PWInsider says it is a broken neck, but a minor break. Not a fusion. May not be back in the ring until Summerslam. Not sure what caused except for his "Wild in-ring style."

They don't want to strip him unless they absolutely have to, so if he's back for Summerslam then he'll likely keep it.

Promo on Raw was unscripted.

I didn't really mind the promo but man it's just totally awful timing since the plot sucks anyway, and the crowd was dead for good reason

It was probably one of those small, nagging things that dudes (rightly or wrongly) ignore all the time. Especially when you're in the top spot and want to keep it. Definitely had to be the forklift headbutt that aggravated it into "gotta fix it now" status.

I'm sure they're hoping he'll be back before that, and he certainly can safely miss the next PPV since his match wasn't even the A storyline.

It was probably that flying headbutt off the forklift.

Also my favorite part of Raw was Big E making the heroic save only to instantly eat poo poo and then cower in the corner while the old man he tried to save comforted him.

IF Bryan is out till Summerslam I really don't see the point of him having the WWE WHC to be honest. Give the title to one of the guys in Evolution and give Bryan some time to heal up - he can start where he left off when he's ready.

Especially when in kayfabe there's zero reason the Authority wouldn't take any excuse to take his title away. Like, Kane can't interrupt the announcement every single week, even if that's a valid way to stop a thing happening.

I'm happy that they're at least considering it though because it shows they honestly want him to have a legit run and not get hosed over by being 0-2 against Vacant. :unsmith:

Yeah except for that tiny detail of having like no dates to actually work and thus any run with it being incredibly short with, at maximum with a full contract, 4 opponents or so? Also the fact that he would eventually have to lose, due to being a massive part timer, and when he does the entire 1 in 21-1 thing goes with it.

But sure, take the belt off the guy with the injury to give it to the interim champion Brock Lesnar.

Just up his dates. Pay the man. Pick the next big thing and have him go over Brock...I dunno who...Cena?

The only things that aren't so hot are that she doesn't say numanya anymore (I'm going to complain about this every single week) and she's managing a wooden golem who has pictures of Vladimir Putin in his titantron

If they literally changed their gimmick to this I wouldn't even mind him being a bad wrestler.
