I'm still for a Cena/Bryan team up as they fight the Corporation 2.0 and eventually recruiting CM Punk to fight for the cause. Unfortunately, it sounds like Punk is banged up pretty badly and is going to be taking more time off again soon.

That would be the next best thing to a Cena heel turn: those three as like the DC hero trinity of the WWE (sorry Daniel, you're Diana in this analogy).

 

[TX85]

cool! can't wait to see the new moves.

hopefully they don't remove a bunch of moves like they tend to do........

They didn't remove tons of moves in '12/'13 and supposedly won't remove any at all in 2K14

That would be the next best thing to a Cena heel turn: those three as like the DC hero trinity of the WWE (sorry Daniel, you're Diana in this analogy).

I actually had an idea that while the trinity of Cena/Punk/Bryan fight the Corp V2, eventually by some twist of fate during the Rumble or whatever leads to a triple threat match between all 3 at WM30. Then in the weeks leading up to Mania, Triple H announces that one of the 3 is secretly is his new "Face of the WWE" that he's backing, creating all sorts of distrust between the 3 guys after months of working together to battle the boss.

Fast forward to that actual night of WM and the big reveal is that Triple H's new champ is none other than.......John Cena in one of the biggest heel turns since Hogan at Bash of the Beach.

Cena may never do it but by then Bryan could be as big as Cena ever was with the various charities.

 

[Hunter Rider]

does anyone worry that HBK will turn on Bryan and cost him the match?

Not really, I am more concerned Triple H will blame him for Bryan winning and not doing what's best for business, leading to him having The Shield take Shawn out........leading to Triple H vs HBK at WrestleMania 30.

That would break my heart.

- Triple H vs. Big Show is being discussed for the Survivor Series pay-per-view. As PWMania.com also reported, WWE may have to push the planned match between The Miz and Bray Wyatt for Hell in a Cell to the Survivor Series pay-per-view as Wyatt is not cleared to wrestle.


- WWE is keeping their distance between Shawn Michaels and Triple H so that it’s a bigger moment when they come face to face.


- As PWMania.com previously reported, WWE announced that Divas Champion AJ Lee has been medically cleared to wrestle following her concussion she suffered.
She probably wont be involved in an actual wrestling match until the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event, but that is always subject to change. The Bellas vs. AJ and Tamina has been discussed for the event.

- Several re-writes were made on Monday night’s WWE Raw taping.

- WWE may have to push the planned match between The Miz and Bray Wyatt for Hell in a Cell to the Survivor Series pay-per-view as Wyatt is not cleared to wrestle. Wyatt would torment and haunt The Miz as a way to build to the match until he is cleared to compete.

When&how did Wyatt get injured?

 

[runawayboulder]

When&how did Wyatt get injured?

At a house show last week. Friday I think. Something about him jumping off the apron and landing on his leg/ankle wrong.

 

[E-Man]

When&how did Wyatt get injured?

He had lunch with Sin Cara and Ryback.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Some of the new moves in WWE 2K14 look awesome. It does look like The Shield has the best moveset in the game and I just love Rollins' wake-up taunt.

[runawayboulder]

The fact that Wyatt is even feuding with The Miz now is even more evidence that his gimmick is heading in the wrong direction. Over the summer everyone was speculating about a Wyatt Fam vs Undertaker/Kane match......so much for that.

 

[TX85]

Yeah the Wyatt family keep looking more like a flash in the pan

 

[sweetre15]

Hopefully the Wyatt's can get some momentum off of working with The Miz....The WWE should have known better than to get have them lingering just because Kane is gone.

@ Hunter Rider

Love that Shawn Vs. Hunter idea of yours. Hope it happens.

Re: Wyatt

As long as they have Bray feud with former world champions, they can keep the Wyatt attacks going. This is probably the most interesting thing Miz has done since becoming tag team champions with John Cena.

Re: Shield

Happy for Cody and Goldust (Seriously, who would've thought The Bizarre One would be holding gold in 2013?), but kind of bummed. The Shield should've been tag team for a year at the very least.

 

[Hunter Rider]

@ Hunter Rider

Love that Shawn Vs. Hunter idea of yours. Hope it happens.

Why? HBK retired with a great match at the end of a Mania so there's no reason to sully that, and if he came back wasting a match on Triple H would serve zero purpose.

 

[The Sage]

Shawn coming out of retirement to face Triple H is a waste. If he has to come out of it for another match, let it be for a reason that's going to have a lasting impact.

I know people think I'm biased if I say Bryan vs HBK should be what happens if HBK comes out of retirement, but it's a bigger deal. It would be the only time that HBK would face one of his proteges--his best one too--and it's something Bryan can have under his belt: that he defeated his mentor, the legendary Shawn Michaels, and did it at Wrestlemania.

Triple H has already beaten Shawn and they've had their Wrestlemania match together, even if it was a triple threat with someone else involved. Do something fresh and meaningful. That last Mania lacked that in abundance.

 

[The Sage]

- WWE's website has published post-RAW reactions from Goldust, Cody Rhodes, The Miz, AJ Lee and The Usos.

- The dark main event after last night's RAW in St. Louis saw Daniel Bryan defeat Randy Orton with a running knee. Bryan cut a promo after the match but Orton laid him out with a RKO to end the show.

- Original plans for the WWE Tag Team Titles had Cody Rhodes and Goldust winning them at the Hell In a Cell pay-per-view but Vince McMahon made the decision on Monday afternoon to do the title change on RAW. The Usos vs. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns vs. Cody and Goldust is currently planned for Hell In a Cell.

I agree. I don't want Shawn to be like Flair who sullied a tremendous send off or Foley who didn't call it quits when he should of.(I think Foley's perfect send off was WM22 with Edge.)

 

[Pink Ranger]

Cena may never do it but by then Bryan could be as big as Cena ever was with the various charities.

The drawback would be if Bryan showed up to cut the ribbon at a homeless shelter, it'd be like, "oh you poor thing, come in, come in, let's get you some soup."

 

[Slushy]

He's wrestling his best friend (who is practically running the company now) one on one finally on the biggest show ever and it will most likely be the best match on the card.

Besides, it could lead to Shawn working with Bryan, Punk, Lesnar, Ziggler, and other greats. Its worth coming out of retirement for.

100% agreed!
