* Wade Barrett vs. Daniel Bryan in a No DQ match is up next. Vince McMahon comes out during the match. Bryan applies the Yes! lock but Vince pulls the ref out of the ring. Vince calls out Maddox. While Daniel Bryan is detracted, Wade Barrett hits the bullhammer. Bryan kicks Barrett down, but Maddox refuses to make the count. Triple H comes out. After the flying headbutt, Triple H makes the count. Bryan wins. Randy Orton's music hits but he doesn't come out. It's just his video and music playing to end the show. I read this, immediately refreshed the spoilers report, and it was actually true. That's... just about all I've got to say on that.

Alvarez on the Shield doing the job tonight Must have did something again Last time, wasn't the heat only on Reigns and Rollins? If it's only them once again, I really see Ambrose splitting off solo sooner rather than later.

It really feels like WWE fully intended Cena/Bryan to have a no frills "you want Bryan, you're getting Bryan" angle but somewhere down the line really had a panic that that wasn't enough. I'm still excited for the match because I think it will be amazing but this build is all over the place.

This is going to end up like the Austin/Dude Love match from Over The Edge '98... just an insane clusterf***... Except unlike Over The Edge '98, it's 15 years later and it comes off more like glory-hogging, old hat and possible active sabotage.

Didn't Orton say that he was going to cash in his briefcase when people least expect him to? I fail to see how that could be SummerSlam at this point

There's supposedly always nuclear heat on the Shield I'll believe there's something to it when they start losing to chumps.

For some reason that spoiler report turned me around on HHH's involvement with the angle. He still has love from the crowd and he's letting them know that he endorses Bryan 100%. That said, I'll still laugh at every single joke about him.

...ANOTHER ROLL UP VICTORY?!
I'm sorry but this is starting to piss me off. I'm glad Christian is in the title picture but this booking is awful. I don't get it.

That ending just screams, "Bryan gets screwed over."

Welp, Christian is almost guaranteed to lose on Sunday.
Kind of stupid to promote a video package unless this is his last match. And Jesus Christ, what a way to go out...jobbing to Del Rio, a guy that the immediate audience would forget ever existed in a week or less if he ever left.

The problem with the HHH/McMahon/Orton bullshit is that the match might not be as hot because the fans will be awaiting some sort of chicanery, and won't bite on a lot of false finishes before they get it. This type of booking screams that nothing important will happen until someone comes running down to the ring.
It kind of reminds me of what Foley said about his Cell retirement match in 2000. He was puzzled at the lack of buzz going on in the crowd as the match progressed. Then he realized it wasn't indifference but rather that the crowd knew the thing wasn't going to end until they went out on top of the cell.

The Shield are basically now the "try and make the US and Tag titles look important" group - which ain't a bad place to be. Also - Barrett is getting a really strange push right now. I like it cause it means more Barrett, but its just weird as hell. I'd like to see him get some mic time in all this.

They aren't having Cena vs. Bryan physically until Summerslam, so Barrett is the vehicle in which they given Bryan victories on in the lead up.

Ahhh the standard WWE method of building up the MitB winner and future world champion by needlessly jobbing him out.

I agree - that's why I said its a strange push. Like a weird simultaneous push-berry.

In regards to The Shield, are the tag belts on the line at the PPV? If so, I hate to say it but Henry and Show almost have to just crush them in violent, jobber fashion. Ambrose/RVD is a bit iffy. On one hand, RVD doesn't remotely need the US title. On the other hand they might book RVD to go over to pop the L.A. crowd on the pre show. This is what DQs are made for. On Sunday RVD hits the frog splash, Shield runs in for the DQ. I mean if Christian jobs to Del Rio there really isn't anyone else that makes logical sense to challenge for the world title other than RVD.

If RVD isn't going to be taking 90 day breaks every once in a while I don't see them putting a belt on him.
