There's really no need to give DB a year plus reign. I just want 4-5months where he's a fighting champion. Do big feuds on PPV and then have barn burner main events with guys like Tyson Kidd on Raw. Plus I would love for them to build up Seth Rollins as Bryan's nemesis over the summer.

I say come up with an excuse for Rollins to either blow his cash-in without doing much damage to him or a loophole for him to hold it for more than a year, then have Bryan hold the title until SummerSlam. If Reigns is ready, have Bryan drop the title to him there. If he's not, do a rematch with Cena, have Bryan win, and have Rollins or whoever 2015's winner is cash-in to end the show.

As I said before, I didn't say it was necessarily Bryan's fault he got hurt. And no, that is not the logic I am using. The logic I said is Bryan getting hurt and having to vacate the time means people aren't owed a long title reign of his because he got hurt. Some said Bryan's fans get "redemption" if he gets a year long title reign. Redemption implies the fans got f***ed over, when again, HE GOT INJURED. You can't blame anybody for him having to vacate the title because he got hurt, but at the end of the day, his own body is the reason why he wasn't champion. It's not WWE's fault, it's not Vince's fault, it's not Triple H's fault. So if he comes back and is so over and the story is right and everything lines up, then fine he can be champion. But WWE shouldn't be blackmailed into giving anyone anything on the grounds that "People feel that they're still owed something" when they aren't owed anything. And I'd just like to point out that you're assessment of "Bryan may be more over now than he ever was" is literally based off of one appearance so it's a very poor sample size. Maybe he will be more over, but no one can judge that right now. If Bryan fans need a year long title reign as "redemption" for a guy who got hurt and ruined his own title run then they're out of their minds and need to lower their expectations Oh, no, wait, it's not his fault, you're right, it's his BODY'S fault. And, of course, Daniel Bryan's body is HIS body. You suck, Daniel Bryan's body, for failing Daniel Bryan! I blame his vegan diet, personally

I don't know even if anybody mentioned it in this thread, but I have a feeling they'll go for a three-way at Mania between Brock-Reigns-Bryan. It's the only way they'll be able to push their boy without causing a riot leading to the event.

It would also be the only way that match would be worth watching. Either way I didn't realize the Rumble was in Philly. This could get really hilarious. I wonder if they'll crap all over Lesnar/Cena?

Probably cheer on Brock more than anything. I think it'll depend. If Cena / Lesnar goes on before the Rumble, they'll be pulling for Lesnar. If it goes on last like I'm expecting it to and Bryan didn't win the Rumble, the crowd's going to shit all over it.

Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan (C) at Wrestlemania 32. Give Bryan a 365+ day run. Hell, if he could'be a 435 day run would be nice. people still won't cheer anyone except Bryan Bryan has to be on the title scene forever and have to main event every wrestlemania. cause he deserves it.

Why should the crowd cheer for Lesnar? I mean really? I get the Cena hate and all but even a smark crowd should have trouble cheering for a goof who has walked off with a belt and defended it once in the span of 4-5 months. That's the problem with the whole Lesnar run. He comes off like a coward who refuses to fight, rather than the unstoppable destroyer he outta be for the angle to work. He needed to at least destroy some schmuck every month on PPV to justify putting the title on him. If he refuses to do that, why put the belt on him?

The WWE signed him to the ridiculous contract and put the title on him. He's probably just as confused as we are.

Oh, no, wait, it's not his fault, you're right, it's his BODY'S fault. And, of course, Daniel Bryan's body is HIS body. You suck, Daniel Bryan's body, for failing Daniel Bryan! I blame his vegan diet, personally Daniel Bryan stopped being a vegan a while ago.

I think Bryan VS Lesnar would be a hell of a main event for Mania. It would really have a David VS Goliath like vibe from it. Honesty if this report is true, then I can see them pulling the spot where Roman and Danial both knock each other out at the same time and it turns into a triple threat match.

There is no need to pass CM Punks record because it is a worthless record. I will be surprised if Punk even cares about it. As for Bryan winning the Rumble, lets see how it plays out. Last year he did not win it but we got our wish for Wrestlemania. This year could be the same thing.

Last year he did not win it but we got our wish for Wrestlemania. This year could be the same thing. That gets a lot trickier if he's in the match and loses, though. At that point the only ways around it really are to either have Brock drop the title to him at Fast Lane - unlikely, as it'd require them learning the error of their ways within a week or two to set the match up and being willing to pay for an extra match for him - and having a Money in the Bank match at Mania and telegraphing the hell out of, "Bryan will win and he'll cash in for the main event." I say if they really must go with the Reigns thing but want to hedge their bets, do the double elimination spot with Bryan. See how the crowd reacts to Reigns after that and if he shows any signs of improvement in the ring or on the mic, and have a match between them at Fast Lane where either Bryan wins if Reigns is deemed not ready, Reigns does if they deem he is, and if they're unsure have Brock interrupt and kill them both for a triple threat.

If anyone's passing Punk's record I doubt it'll be Bryan.
Nothing wrong with Bryan but when you have Rollins, Ambrose, Reigns and Wyatt who will undoubtedly all get the belt, they can't have Bryan be a year long champion right now. There's too many names in the hat for the next year. The potential storylines for all of those guys also outweighs Bryan getting a year reign, well, unless Bryan's reign comes after they have theirs. These guys will probably all have the belt within a year post-WM31. On that same token, I don't see Rollins, Ambrose, Reigns or Wyatt having a year long reign either. Maybe Ambrose if he goes from face to heel in the middle of it similar to Punk but that's about it. There has to be an actual reason for a year long champion.
If anyone's having a year long title reign I say it'll be someone in NXT. Neville, Zayn, Baylor, Itami, Owens, they're the ones who might and that's simply because by the time they're in the title scene, the story will have evolved past when any other guys needing the belt so we can get a year long reign in.
I'd say Zayn would probably be the one and he'd do it as a fighting champion.
