Alright, so I've been thinking about Bryan vs. Corp2.0, and since I'm not gonna be able to catch Night of Champions tonight, I thought I'd write out how I'd like the rest of this year up until WrestleMania XXX to go, starting with NOC:
-Daniel Bryan needs to lose at Night of Champions. Whether it's a HHH Screwjob scenario or Shield interference, Bryan cannot gain the WWE title tonight. Randy Orton to me needs to be solidified as THE heel to beat. After tonight, Orton needs to find a new challenger.
-I want to see Bryan regain the World Heavyweight Championship, and for multiple reasons. For one, it would make the title relevant again. My other reasons will become clearer as the story unfolds. Bryan needs to win the WHC and be the fighting champion that Orton isn't. Orton is the "Face" and the Face wants to protect just that. With Bryan as WHC, Orton's legitimacy will be increasingly challenged, to the point where Bryan is viewed as the "true" champion. Not that he already isn't, Cena made that clear enough on his exit. The addition of the WHC merely fuels that legitimacy.
-Here's how the Rumble should be set up. WM30 is a special event. It has to have a special match to commemorate it. So for the Royal Rumble, for the first time ever both the WWE Champion (Orton) and the World Heavyweight Champion (Bryan) will be allowed to compete, opening the possibility, and really teasing the possibility, of a title unification match at Mania.
-Cena is rumored to be back around the time of the Royal Rumble. And you know what, Cena needs to win it. Just show up "unannounced" at the Rumble, knock either Roman Reigns or Ryback or maybe even D-Bry himself for the win, but leave the Rumble at that. The next night on Raw--and this is the most unlikely scenario that could happen but that would actually make the most sense and work for Cena in particular--Cena turns. The reason? Cena's a company man. He knows he's a company man. And he has bad blood with Orton as well. Cena needs to come back from this injury, having lost to Daniel Bryan, with the intention of going against everyone, Corporation and Bryan's "Rebellion". In actuality, Cena's motivation should be his desire to be the man no matter what. If you wanted to make this turn deeper and more layered you should have Cena saying that he did what he did "Not for the Corporation, but for the Cenation." I think that would still keep him with the semblance of a man who views himself as a face, but to the audience who are fully behind Bryan, will see him as another villain.
-After CM Punk is finished with Heyman, Punk needs to turn. And he needs to take on Cena. I really want to see another major Punk vs. Bryan match, but go with me on this. I'm not saying it should main event WrestleMania just yet, but now's the time for these guys to define this "Reality Era". Punk and HHH and Cena and Orton all have bad blood between them, so there's your motivation right there. But Punk needs to reclaim his heelish desire to be proclaimed "Best in the World."
-In this Punk needs to challenge Cena, then Orton, then Bryan. As Bryan, the fighting champion, reinvigorates the legitimacy of the WHC, Punk will realize that with Bryan lies the real prize, and it's not because it bears the company's name, but because Bryan's defense of it has made it once again a "true" world championship. Cena has yet to make his decision about which title he will go for. At the same time you have Punk waiting in the wings.
-When Cena decides, he needs to decide that he wants it all. HHH is having none of it, but at that moment, what would be "best for business" would be for WM30 to be the WrestleMania that reunifies the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships.
-So here's the "Title Unification Main Event Card" I envision for WrestleMania 30:
Daniel Bryan vs. CM Punk - World Heavyweight Championship
John Cena vs. Randy Orton - WWE Championship
Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena - Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Championship
