I think some really crazy shit goes down on RAW tomorrow.
There's so many ways to roll with this.
I'm pumped for Raw tomorrow. Curious to see how they build to Mania, and/or if they'll fast track Bryan getting the championship on the Raw before the Network launch as a way to make fans happy going into their new business venture. Personally, I REALLY hope they hold off and somehow ensure that Bryan gets that title at Mania. And if, for some reason, Bryan ends up fighting KANE at WM and Orton vs. Batista is ACTUALLY the main event? Well...
BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

Another PPV, another opportune time to bring out this .gif

They've done everything but outright explicitly say Batista's winning at Mania for months now. They didn't bring him back to have him not win at Mania. There's hoping for surprise, and then there's just being unrealistic. And at this point, you're being unrealistic if you see any scenario that doesn't end in Batista winning the belt at Mania, singles or triple threat or not.

My faith be tested sometimes. Good lawd.
The only thing to say is...
YES!
YES!
YES!
WWE can't be THIS stupid to think that Orton/Batista is going to be a main event that people want. I don't understand how they didn't see people shitting all over Batista's Royal Rumble win, his match against Del Rio, and now, if it happens, his main event against Orton. NO ONE wants to see that match. NO ONE. Because Batista is being treated like a heel by most crowds right now. Daniel Bryan winning is the ONLY fucking thing that makes sense. Fans, myself included, are RAVENOUS for it. We've waited long enough. PULL THE GODDAMN TRIGGER.

The shots of people sad made me sad. Plants or not but we all knew this outcome
Credit where credit is due, they managed to make the expected outcome exciting by dangling hope at the right time. Unfortunately, that made it actually hurt, rather than just witnessing inevitability take place.

I think it's pretty fucking pathetic at this time. They know one person is the most over guy in the company yet they still want to push Orton/Batista despite them being the least over guys in their receptive matches.

Batista/Bryan is the money match
Bryan wins :70,000 chanting yes
Batista wins: enough heat to power a 3rd world country

Everyone knew Orton was winning. The WCW ending was a bit shit though.

Here's the WM main event you guys:
Orton/Bastista/Bryan.
The underdog Bryan defeats HHH and HBK to win the championship, crowd goes ape shit, CM Punk comes out and hugs Bryan, confetti and explosions everywhere.

Why are you trying to kill one of the Bella's like that?

Pretty good PPV. One of the best in a while if you ask me. Shield vs Wyatts was easily match of the night. A real gem.

There was only one good match. The chamber match was good but the ending totally deflated my enjoyment. It wasn't Orton winning either, it was the cluster.

Holy shit Bray vs Cena at Wrestlemania couldn't be any more forced.

If they want ANY salvageable way of Batista to get some cheers (at the very least) He should lobby for the triple threat match because of the INJUSTICE Bryan has been suffering since Summerslam.
Real interesting that Cole brought up the way Bryan has been treated since Summerslam. You'd think they's forget about that by now.

Bryan winning at Mania is the ONLY thing that makes sense. Seriously. Anything else is just short-sighted and stupid. No fan wants to see Batista and Orton. Unless Vince is cool with people shitting ALL. OVER. His main event even worse than they did WM29s, he needs to realize it's TIME to pull the trigger on Daniel Bryan. They've fucked up his story, even though they'll tell you it was deliberately done, but they should also know that ALL will be forgiven if they let Bryan have his moment.

So the other one can become a general manager.

Of the fucking Mania matches on tap, you pick THAT ONE to say is being forced?!

Poring out 40 for the shield. It's been a good run
Yeah, there is really zero reasoning behind the Wyatts attacking Cena twice, but I think they can have a good match. One that Cena really, really needs to lose. A lolcenawins kind of finish would kill the whole stable.
I was a good pay per view. The opening, Wyatt vs Shield and Chamber match were good.

Good PPV overall.

I wish they did a Shield v Wyatt's rematch at WM. It sucks that they're gonna be split up.
Hope he takes a Sister Abigail into the steel steps and kicks out.
Really though, I think Cena will do the job. Wyatt had a huge win against Bryan and now against Reigns...a win against Cena cements him as a top dog for years to come.
Until Cena makes one of his stupid jokes.

Actually, if we're going by history, AJ would become General Manager or, considering Punk, Paige or another Diva.

They're going to milk this Dbry getting screwed gimmick for as long as they can, even if that means through Mania. That's what people don't understand... they have nothing else. Daniel Bryan is carrying the product now. If they give him the title all that emotion and reaction from the crowd from him getting screwed and being the underdog is gone. Giving him the belt just shortens the time they have to milk his incredible over-ness.

This is true. Much like the end of the Summer of Punk, there's nothing in the works for AFTER when he gets that title.
The chase is better than the catch.

:lol at that gif, why is everyone shitting on poor Dave
I thought the chamber match was very good and that everyone came out looking great.
Sheamus had some great crowd-pleasing spots and just looked like a tank. Cesaro was impressive as hell and the workhorse of the match. Christian had that ridiculous splash off the top of the pod. Cena was Cena and had the excuse of the Wyatts taking him out. Bryan looked like a million bucks, as usual. And Orton came out the cowardly heel champ...thought he did exceptionally well in this match.
Solid main event, and I ain't even mad about the finish. If this leads to Bryan main eventing and winning the title at Mania, I'm all for it.

Perfectly said
There's nothing in the works before either. This company has been doing improv for years.
