Bryan vs Punk WWE Championship II? I hope. If they don't do that, then their OTL match will have had one of the strangest finishes in the history of wrestling.

I think a lot of the initial appeal of an Iron Man match seems to be along the lines of "These guys are going to be wrestling for 30/60 minutes! Awesome!". Of course, that is dependent on who the two guys are. There wasn't a lot of positive sentiment for Cena/Orton, from what I remember, although that wasn't so much people expecting a bad match as it was "These two are fighting AGAIN?!".

There not going to do an Iron Man match until Bryan/Punk have a string of PPV matches, and it is the ultimate feud ender. Next month is undoubtedly going to be a cage match to establish the cage match PPV gimmick. Also, gives Bryan a way to win the title without having to pin or submit Punk, thus leading to a 3rd match. That one could easily be a submission match.

Yeah, this won't be an Iron Man match, because No Way Out is doing a "no escape" theme, so we will probably either see a cage match or a strap/chain/etc. match.
I'm actually hoping for the strap match, because I'd love to see the crazy submissions they pull out with the straps. (pinfall/submission rules please, none of that corner garbage)

So the predecessor was exactly as boring and played out like we all thought, following the worst RAW rating of the year. This is why I take a month off from the Fed. You talking about OTL? Because the two championship matches were pretty awesome.

Punk vs Bryan Cena vs Big Show Jericho vs Orton Del Rio vs Sheamus Sounds about right. Add a rematch with Cody vs Christian for the IC Title and a Tag Title Match of somekind, maybe Truth vs Titus and Young to round out the card. That looks like a really good card on paper to me (except Show vs Cena)

WWE Championship 30 min Ironman Cage match Punk vs Bryan BE A MAN VINCE AND BOOK IT! How do you have an Ironman Cage match after an escape? Honestly? Just make it that the falls can only be won by an escape and, after each escape, return the winner of that fall to the ring to do it over again. Which would be a train wreck to watch.

Or it could be pinfalls and submissions only, like a lot of older cage matches.

I think Bryan could ask for it to be a submission match, so that Punk can't roll him over for a pin again. Maybe Submissions Count Anywhere?

Considering the theme of the show is "no escape", I doubt they'd have a match where a decision could count anywhere. If they do have a submission match, it'd be more likely for it to take place in a cage.

Not sure if I can post this (will take down if I'm not supposed to) but with the theme of this show, maybe Punk/Bryan will be akin to this match:

No Way Out in June just feels so unnatural. I associate it with February.
