Whether true or not, I expect Punk back eventually. The next time Cult of personality hits, the crowd is going to explode.

 

[SuperBatman]

IMO It would've made more since if Ted Dibase Jr was the Mystery Investor for TNA.

ay!!

we're in a time where we don't know what's real or what's a work......lol.

hopefully it's all........"part of the plan."

 

[Kaleb]

Yip can def see HHH firing CM Punk next weeks Raw,then the following Raw Vince will make a rare apearance and rip into HHH about firing Punk without consulting him or the board.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

We're at that point where we don't know what's a shoot or work anymore.

 

[Van Petrol]

I stand by my gut instinct in saying he'll be back.

 

[venom892]

Work or not he will. But in time for WM? I'm not so sure. He seems really burned out. He may need the rest.

That could be a genius move if it happens.

 

[Slushy]

He owns the rights to his WWE name, but I think Antonio Bank$ is a lot cooler.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

If it's a work, what is the payoff supposed to be?

 

[SpideyFan866]

apparently the mystery investor for tna is

MVP

just why tna

There are no words.




None.

You just typed 5 words lol,should have simply posted

 

[Herolee10]

Been thinking about it, but IF I had total control over how the product was going and how this year's Mania events should be like, this is how I would have gone about it...

WRESTLEMANIA XXX MATCHES:

1. WWE Heavyweight Championship- Triple Threat Match
- Daniel Bryan vs Brock Lesnar (c) vs CM Punk

2. UNDERTAKER STREAK- Handicap Tag Team Match
- The Undertaker and Kane vs The Shield (If Shield Loses, then they must Disband)

3. Singles Match
- John Cena vs Triple H

4. STREET FIGHT
- Cody Rhodes vs Goldust

5. Wrestlemania/WWE Debut Match
- Sting vs Bray Wyatt

6. WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH- Fatal Four Way
- The New Age Outlaws (c) vs The Usos vs Rey Mysterio and Christian vs The Real Americans

7. WWE Women's Championship- Divas' Lumberjack Match
- AJ Lee (c) vs Emma

8. Intercontinental & US Championship Ladder Match
- Big E Langston (c) vs Randy Orton vs Sheamus vs Dolph Ziggler (c) vs Alberto Del Rio vs Wade Barrett


The event wouldn't need the likes of the Big Show, Batista, or Miz to fill up unwanted space.

We're at that point where we don't know what's a shoot or work anymore.

We have returned to Russoville!

If it's a work, what is the payoff supposed to be?

Revenge!

I'd like if this is true, but I would wait even farther, beyond 'Mania.

I'd have Bryan win the title either at Mania, or right after. And after a short feud with Batista, have The Authority set in place a mystery superstar, coming in as the new face of the company after Orton and Batista both failed in the position, and have it be Punk. Punk, having pulled a WMX7 Austin-like turn, aligning with The Authority to become champion.

From there, have him feud with Bryan for the title.

On the otherhand, they could have Punk come back and rail against the system, getting behind Bryan abecoming champion, cut a few scathing promos, ala the pipebomb heard around the world. And then at the end of that angle, after a match where he actually helps Bryan retain, have him turn on Bryan, and join The Authority and become champion.

WTorch's Wade Keller has posted an audio update mainly in regards to the situation ongoing in WWE.

He has spoken and said that WWE have planned for "all-day creative meetings" today and tomorrow as a result of recent events within the company. Everything started on Sunday with Daniel Bryan reactions louder than ever in the reaction that Batista got to winning the Rumble match.


This was followed up by Randy Orton & Batista receiving next to no reaction on Raw as well as Daniel Bryan's loud and vocal following.
Of course, the story of CM Punk's departure has also meant Daniel Bryan has been put onto a storyline with Triple H. However, these new creative meetings that WWE staff have reportedly been in today and tomorrow could mean that by the end of those meetings, storylines for Wrestlemania 30 could have been turned on its head and changed.
WWE are needing to put their heads together to plan out how to sort the Batista win out at Wrestlemania whilst keeping fans happy with Daniel Bryan and remembering that Batista vs Orton is set to main event Wrestlemania when the crowds are barely invested into the feud and not forgetting the ongoing saga of Phil Brooks aka CM Punk.

There is alot of work for WWE to do.

The only way to keep Daniel Bryan's fans happy is if they drop Batista and Orton from being the main event to the show. You can't have one while having the other.

Agreed. I ****ing dare WWE to still go through Batista/Orton as the WM30 main event because it's going to be a disaster of epic proportions. Just sayin'. Have Lesnar win the title at the Chamber and change the Chamber Match into a #1 contenders match with Bryan winning, thus setting up Bryan/Lesnar as the main event of WM30 and you could still run with Batista/Orton as a featured match.

pretty much but knowing WWE, they'd probably try to make Heads or tails of this by Having Bryan win at the Chamber and have Batista and HHH turn FULL HEEL as well as turn against Orton by putting him on "injury". Then have HHH and Batista in a Triple threat against Bryan for the title in order to stack the deck.

 

[Slushy]

The problem is Vince wants Batista to win the title and the fans want Bryan instead. I haven't seen his plan backfire like this since Luger at WrestleMania 10!

 

[Kaleb]

Have Batista and Orton wrestle the first match at mania,I recall Del Rio winning the rumble and opening up wrestlemania vs Edge.

 

[Team Andino]

Have Batista and Orton wrestle the first match at mania,I recall Del Rio winning the rumble and opening up wrestlemania vs Edge.

Sheamus won the Rumble in 2012 and had the opening match with Bryan as well. Crappy few years there where the Rumble was used as a show opener.

That's exactly the event that this reminded me of.

That, Goldberg/Lesnar, and Warrior/Hogan II.

All huge misfires and backfires.
