So Bryan-Bautista will close the show

On the Law, they thought to set up everything, they would have Bryan-Triple H fight tonight then Punk come in and help Bryan to move Bryan in the Orton-Batista match and Triple H-Punk

About a year ago these 2 were fighting for the heavyweight title.

This could be Paul Bearer

Does anybody know if Punk is even backstage? He was not advertised for the June 1 Payback PPV local commercial.

Paul Bearer inducted into the WWE HOF. If he hadn't died last year he could of attended the ceremony. Will they bring his remains out in an urn???

Im thinking he's not, unless in the parking lot so nobody knows, and could lead to a Bryan win.

Cena's promo is full of Lulz.

First time I've tuned in for quite awhile.

Going with an evil Russian gimmick? Oy.

Batista is looking like post-stroke Curly Howard these days.

Well, we are stuck with Bautista until SummerSlam. That is when GOTG movie comes out.

The Safellite commercial was just better than Cena's promo

So I will go with Orton interrupts the match and causes a DQ and add to the speculation of triple threat.

Also no Punk

Starting to get interesting, maybe we do get Punk

Glad Trips didn't make the end of the show about himself tonight. He just shit all over the Championship match for WM.

I would say that puts 2 heels in the title match at Mania, Bryan vs Triple H, the main match is Lesnar vs Taker and no CM Punk.

I will say they tried to make it interesting, I thought smart playing Punk's music, then have Heyman coming out, the Shield-Wyatt match was great.

how did it shit over the championship match?

They continue to go to great lengths to build Bryan into the most over star since the days of Austin.

It is no different than what Vince did for Austin back in the day.

Instead of Big Dave and Orton beating down Bryan, it was Trips himself giving the Pedigree. What is or was Kane doing out there anyway??

I was at the show last night, a couple of notes. When Lesner was throwing the Tvs, one bounced out of the ring and into the crowd, hitting a fan. This started a brief "lawsuit" chant. Before the Superstars taping, they showed the video of last years Wrestlemania. It showed clips of every match, except Punk/Taker. They were selling tons of Punk shit, which led me to believe he would be there, but then when I saw the promo without his highlights I started to wonder.

If you had Batista and Orton doing the beatdown, then it would make people think that they were going triple threat at Mania for the belt, now you have a match of Batista-Orton for the belt that nobody cares about and could boo all over.

It sets up Triple H-Bryan.

I don't know what the thinking was behind all this, your biggest event and your heavyweight title match is basically between 2 heels.

On CM Punk, I think Bryan should thank him for walking out, as if that didn't happen there were reports Bryan was facing Sheamus and now gets a bigger match with Triple H.

If Byran is so over, why don't they give him as champion.

They are building to it.

It is pretty easy to see what they are doing with Bryan. He will have a long title run in the near future.

This has been one of the best and smartest things they have done in recent years.

If your going to do that, shouldn't he leave Mania as the Champ.

Maybe, maybe not. We are still a month away from Mania, he very well may.

All I can think of when thinking of Bryan as champ, is him dropping the title in a few seconds at Wrestlemania.

That is disturbingly accurate, Matches.

Please note, that in addition to the Diva's title, the King of Kings is also in possession of a Slammy in that photo. I can just imagine Hunter telling Vince, "Ugggh, I gotta look strong going into Wrestlemania Pop. That's why it has to be me giving Bryan the pedigree."
