Shawn's not going to turn on Bryan, is he?

[mrbananagrabber]

So it's possible that the Orton/Bryan feud will end at HIAC, could it be that HBK sides with The Authority and helps Orton win the title?

They're making a lot about the fact Shawn trained Bryan, and if anyone can get heel heat despite being super over its Shawn, and if anyone can get a face reaction over Shawn its Bryan.

So - one more match?

[Young Game]

That really depends on what Bryan is into. I'm guessing Brie would be more than just a little upset about this.

So...HBK vs. Brie Bella for control of Daniel Bryan could be a thing somewhere down the line.

I think HBK will go to superkick Orton, but Randy dodges and he hits DB inadvertently costing him the match.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

Whoever wins is just keeping the belt warm for Cena anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Pretty much.

[The Baltimore Staircase]

HBK spends the match trying to help Orton but Bryan eventually shows his dominance, wins and they hug on the stage to end the show.

Really, from the way they were playing it up on RAW, the whole match is just going to be filler while we wait to see whether or not Shawn betrays Bryan.

Heel Shawn in 2013 will be a tough sell against anyone on the current roster, Bryan included, even considering how good HBK is at getting people to hate him when he puts his mind to it.

So... I'm not sure what will happen. Actually, I'm inclined to think Michaels will call it fair and Bryan will win, so that Triple H can get pissed off at his old friend letting him down and we can play up a HHH/HBK feud over the next few months, and possibly even as the Wrestlemania XXX main event.

I don't think we are getting a HBK/HHH feud, but I do think Triple H beating down Shawn Michaels to get himself over as a heel is the most likely endgame regardless of whether HBK's officiating plays into the Orton/Bryan match or not.

There's no better way to get a guy over in the main event by bringing in guys from last century to take the focus off him.

I want him to turn on Bryan just so I can call him Corporashawn

Anything with some HBK on my screen is fine by me.

I really think he's there just for some more mild "star power". Everyone was predicting that the HHH/Taker match would end up with another HHH HBK match but it obviously didn't. I think Shawn just shows up now and then for the sake of it. I don't get the impression he misses wrestling at all.

[Deleted]

Probably the errant super kick and reluctant count, I do predict that somehow HHH, the Big Show and the Shield all manage to invade the cage somehow though. Just for complete wackiness.

[Sparkybob]

I'm just saying, this wouldn't have been an issue if Backlund was voted to be the ref.

[Friday Night SmackOwn]

Accidental kick, but HBK hesitates to make the count just long enough for DB to kick out, then the match continues from that point.

[Perd]

Probably not. But if this was 1996...

Because it would give D-Bry something else to focus on instead of the HHH Show?

Though, Hunter-Shawn is overplayed. I'd be happy with Shawn just fulfilling his duties and then going back out into the woods to join the Duck Dynasty fellas.

I think it'll be the other way around. D Bry will try to give his knee to Orton but wind up hitting HBK.
