Daniel Bryan New Top Face Of The WWE

[anica144]

It wasn't the official christening of Bryan as the new top guy, that won't come til Mania when Bryan goes over HHH, but tonight certainly just told us that WWE see more potential in Bryan as the future top dog, then they did for anyone else that has ever gone against Cena while he's been top face.

Those other guys I'm talking about are Orton, Batista, Punk and Rock. Now some people will come in here and say well, technically, those other guys beat Cena clean in the past, but the fact is, in all of those wins, Cena was always protectedin defeat.

Bryan beat Cena cleaner than Orton, Batista, Punk, and Rock, because he not only gave him his finisher uninterrupted, but he taunted him before he gave it to him squeaky CLEAN. There's no debating that AT ALL.

When Orton beat Cena in the past in the Hell in a Cell, he TAPPED out, but the ref didn't see it, so Cena was protected in defeat.

When Batista beat Cena in the past at Summerslam, it was an "out of nowhere" batistabomb delivered after Cena made a mistake by jumping off the top rope and Batista barely caught him a desperation powerbomb, so Cena was protected in defeat.

When Punk beat Cena at MITB'11, Cena was distracted by Vince and Johnny Ace, so again Cena was protected in defeat.

When Rock beat Cena at Mania 28, Cena was mocking the Rock's people's elbow and got caught with an "out of nowhere" rock bottom, so yet again Cena was protected in defeat.

This time, Bryan didn't even need to work on Cena's elbow to "protect" Cena in defeat, he just straight clocked him in the face with the most vicious knee I've seen thrown since KENTA, and he did it after taunting in Cena's face. He beat him cleaner than anyone has ever beaten Cena since he became top face, and this time Cena was NOT protected in defeat.

The only person I can actually acknowledge that beat Cena straight up clean with no f***ery, is HHH back at Night of Champions 2008, and that's HHH so yeah.

Like I said in the aftermath thread. I think Cena will beat Orton at EC with DB winning the rumble leading to a rematch at Mania. Cena will remind DB this time he's 100% healthy and more determined to win and how I underestimated you blah blah blah

Cena will be out for a couple months, tops. However once he's back, he's still going to be top face. There's no question. Bryan in the meantime will go through the same hoops that Punk went through in 2011 with the same outcome. It doesn't matter if Bryan beat Cena clean as a sheet because the only thing people right now are going to care about is his revenge on Orton/Triple H. And he's probably not going to get much of either. He's certainly not beating Triple H. And Orton is likely holding the title for a while. In the meantime, they could certainly put Cena again in a position to overtake Orton, not saying they will, but this is WWE we're talking about.

When Bryan goes over Triple H?
