After thinking about Hell in a Cell and Raw last night some more, Im curious how much Shawn got paid to be the person to screw Daniel Bryan out of the title again. Shawn isnt above screwing anyone for some cash, but it had to be a decent amount to screw Daniel Bryan. Shawn campaigned hard several years for Bryan now, and he almost severed ties with the company when they released him. He has been one of Daniel Bryan biggest supporters out of the ring. Maybe Daniel Bryan was ok with it and wants to work with Punk trying something new instead of getting screwed out of the title for months on end. I guess when Cena went out, they were completely lost and were afraid to give the belt to anyone and that is why they left it vacate for some time. Im just hoping they dont let Cena unify the belts. Still scratching my head that they let Daniel Bryan beat Cena cleanly, only to strip the belt away from him so quickly. Maybe Cena was ok with it and agreed to it since they hang out with each other a lot and they are dating one part of the Bella twins.
Im very surprised the WWE board members especially Vince was ok with giving Orton their biggest title so soon after his second suspension. Vince was supposedly pissed off the most over the 2nd suspension and didnt want Orton moving above middle card for several years until he proved he was finally clean. Guess they will have to make another Orton cleans up his act dvd updating old material with his newest suspension. I know Vince doesnt have as much say over the company now, but I think he still plays a huge role in big decisions like this. Seems like a very risky situation when he is one strike away from being terminated for life. Wonder if they will hold Orton to the 3 strike policy. The guy definitely has talent, but he continues to screw up time after time.
Im not sure it will be Orton and Show feuding since they threw Kane into the picture for no good reason other than to work with Show. It was puzzling seeing Kane come back and with little reasoning agree to help Stephanie. It was very lazy writing. The whole thing seemed very sloppy and rushed, but it did give them another big man vs big man feud that they desperately want. I guess they figured they could just throw them together and then write a story explaining it. The move allows them to take the Shield away from being bodyguards for Stephanie/Triple H and move them in a new direction. Kane would become the new "bodyguard".
After last nights commentary pointing out how Triple H didnt come to help Shawn, think they are going to push Shawn/Triple H going into WM. It will be friend vs. friend to see who the better man is once and for all. That would be a tough match to predict. Would Triple H ego be ok with Shawn winning again, or is Shawn broke enough to lose at possibly his last WM. Shawn seems to burn through his money pretty quickly for someone who doesnt use drugs or gamble. Things have been quiet from Lesnar for awhile, and it seems like they have kept him out of the story lines on purpose, so he will be free for Taker at WM. Maybe they are just running low on dates they can use Lesnar stated in the contract. I think next years WM is Lesnars last commitment on this contract. Still not sure who Cena is going to feud with now. Sheamus is coming back soon, but figured they would put him with Del Rio for the 12th time, since Cena already buried Del Rio when he could only use one arm...I dont think they can push a Cena/Del Rio feud when Cena beats him his first night back and still injured.
