Book Daniel Bryan's PPV Opponents During His Title Reign

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

I'm booking mine from right afer Mania since I haven't finished watching Raw yet.

Extreme Rules: Bryan vs. Batista

Payback: Bryan vs. HHH (either in a regular match or a submission match)

Money in the Bank: Bryan vs. HHH (either in a submission match or a ladder match)

Battleground: Bryan vs. Orton

Summerslam: Bryan loses to Brock Lesnar

I think that would be a pretty decent first real title reign for Bryan. With Lesnar being the one to end the streak WWE HAS to have big plans for him unless they have people who are flat out idiots booking (which admittedly is always possible). WWE needs to strike while Lasnar has some luster on him from the win and having him go on a rampage from now to Summerslam is a good way to do it. In the mean time Bryan can beat some old credible opponents and have HHH put him over in a way HHH has not put anyone over since Batista. From there Bryan could either beat Lesnar to win back the title after a while or Lesnar can have a decent reign of his own before dropping it to someone.

Think they're building up Cesaro to face him at a couple of them.

Cesaro would be cool and they are definitely building him up. I'd prefer Cesaro to wrestle him a good bit later though since Cesaro's building should take a while for the best execution.

[percymania]

Great topic. There's a number of ways they could go with this. Here's what I would suggest. Leave HHH out of it. We've already had that match.

Extreme Rules: Lesnar

Payback: Orton

Money in the Bank: Batista

Battleground: Roman Reigns

Summerslam: Cena

[Deleted]

I think Cesaro will get a shot at Bryan before Lesnar considering Heyman said Cesaro will be the next WWE WHC during Backstage Pass last night. I'm guess Cesaro will constantly lose to Bryan before Brock gets a chance and finally wins.

[DZ: WF Legacy]

RAW: Orton

Extreme Rules: WAR GAMES

Main Event: Christian

Payback: Triple H

MITB: Batista

RAW: Batista II

Battleground: Sheamus

SummerSlam: BARACK LESSSSNNARRRRRR


Loses to Brock, who then loses to Cena at Night of Champions, and then Bryan and Cena feud through the Fall.

That's an interesting idea. Cesaro losing to Bryan a couple of times on PPV would by no means kill his heat as long as they are competitive matches. I'm just not a big fan of Cesaro losing to Bryan in a high profile match at this point given how much momentum he has behind him and how much more he could have in a couple of months.

[Nickybojelais]

I'd go for a 6 month title reign with a varied mix of contenders.


Extreme Rules - 8 Man Tag (Bryan & Shield v KanEvolution) - Authority adds a stipulation of whoever gets the pin/submission wins the title in order to create dissention in the face team.


Payback - Defeats Orton in a Cage Match (After Orton argues that he has not actually been beaten for the title by Bryan and hast yet received a one on one title rematch)

Money in the bank - Defeats Cesaro (in one of those testing the waters for Cesaro title match)

Battleground - Defeats a recently turned heel Sheamus

Summerslam - Defeats Cena (A blockbuster main event to legitimise Bryan as an elite performer)

Night of Champions - Loses the title to Brock Lesnar

If we're doing an 8 man tag and especially if it's at Extreme Rules then it's gotta be War Games! I mean it's just gotta be!

I've heard a number oftheories why they have never revived it and a lot of them sound like BS. I suppose the most convincing theory is that WWE doesn't want to do it because they'd lose out one selling tickets due to using two rings. However, if you really think about it that just sounds like BS too. There's plenty of time when WWE PPVs don't sell out and they could also alter the prices accordingly to accomodate the set up. Plus, WWE doesn't seem too uptight about altering their setup when it coems to having HUGE ramps and stages at events like WM XXX, which in theory could have just been extra seating.

Bray Wyatt needs to be one of them; he beat Bryan at the Royal Rumble.

They don't even need 2 rings, with one they could accommodate.

Shit start it with Ambrose since he plays Babyface in peril the best.

I'd definitely stick with two rings as it just wouldn't feel like a War Games match without it. What they could do though is use two smaller rings since a regulation WWE ring is much bigger than the kind most companies use. It could also be cool to see how some WWE guys who haven't worked in smaller rings for a good while perform in them.

[Sephiroth]

If actually prefer see them move Bryan past the story with The Authority for a while. My vision: do an angle where Bryan offers guys like Ziggler, Ryder, Miz, and Swagger title shots because they are underdogs like he was while he was chasing the title. Then you can do a serious feud with someone like Lesnar or a heel Cena.

[Woo]

I can't remember the PPV names these days, but here goes

Extreme Rules- Wargames
PPV 2- Batista
PPV 3- Cesaro
PPV 4- Cesaro
Summerslam- Lesnar
PPV 6- Cena
PPV 7- Ziggler
Survivor Series- Bray

I've been wanting WWE to book a Bret Hart fighting champion style world title holder for years, but the company has just never pulle it off that well...since well Bret Hart! Punk felt like he was one for maybe a second when he was still a face champ, but WWE never pulled the trigger on booking him like that so his reign suffered until he turned heel. Bryan makes as much sense as Punk to book like this, but I just have very little faith in WWE having a desire to do so or capability in pulling it off.

I had a theory that by doing a new type of matchup that the majority of the fans have never seen before would likely increase the PPV numbers, thus negating the loss of ticket sales from the additional ring....then I did a bit of research and found the first Elimination Chamber match at Survivor Series '02 lead to a 110,000 less buys from the previous year. Therefore annihilating my theory about a War Games match spiking PPV buyrates!

[Rubix Cube Johnny]

Extreme Rules - Bob Backlund

Then he kneewalks around the ring as the crowd goes wild.

[fw91]

wouldn't mind seeing a fatal four way with all shield members at some point to help facilitate their break up if that is still planned
