I guess everybody hoping for 6-8 weeks was wishful thinking. Maybe for a professional athlete he can make it back in 6.

That's at least a quick enough timetable that he's probably right back in the title picture immediately upon return instead of being forgotten by the time he can go again.

Throw the title onto someone from Evolution in the meantime. Or even Kane for a quick interim run, if they have ideas of wanting to put it back on Bryan quickly and want to retroactively justify that feud.

Saw the word "edge" in the story before reading, freaked out.

2-3 months is decent enough news.

New gimmick idea:

Tinder Mahal.

This is probably best for storyline right now.

Bryan loses title for no reason and gets to chase again which, if we are being honest, is almost always better than the win.

Agreed.

"He was supposed to be out 2-3 months. Just shows you how tough he is, returning to action 6 weeks after the surgery!"

I fear if Kane got the title he'd be feuding with Big Show which is what they're doing in the house shows in Europe.

Which member of Evolution do you give it to and who do you have them feud with is the problem.

Batista and idk

Batista and Cena. Cena vs. The Authority would work until Bryan got back.

best for business is for evolution to lose at payback, bootista leaves for hollywood, pissed HHH comes out next day on RAW and strips Bryan of the title, awards it to himself

And just throw all this buildup to whatever they're doing with the Wyatts out the window?

It's a difficult thing. Cena and Bryan are really the only faces who are freed up and believable challengers to the WWE Title. Sheamus would be available for a spot push, but I would hope they still follow through with having him feud with Cesaro over the US Title.

Individual Shield members are a stretch, and if they were going to have it be Reigns then **** it would be quite a punt to have Reigns vs. Batista or even Reigns vs. Orton for the title at a PPV.

Do a tournament and let BNB win?

They just need to pay Brock a lot more money, put the title on him, and have him work every Raw and PPV while D-Bry is out.

This

I'm sure some people in creative think RVD fits this mold. Or maybe even Big Show.

Definitely not.

This would be good though.

I mean Big Show vs. an Evolution member would be a terrible match most of the time, but yeah I suppose Big Show is as believable of a one-off title contender at this point as Kane is.

Lana break dancing



Better than most of the Diva's already with those moves.

Got caught rewinding her entrance by the gf the other night.

Wwe stock taking a beating

Tv deal probably bad news

Has any info come out on it?

It doesn't give you any numbers though.

I was just thinking about the title situation if they do strip Bryan. How would you guys book it? Lesnar being full time isn't an option because that's never going to happen so who are the top 5 in the WWE right now not called Daniel Bryan or Brock Lesnar? Who are the guys that would be believable champs? Cena, HHH, Orton, Batista and maybe Bray? It's too early for Cesaro, BNB and anyone for from the Shield. Big Show, RVD and Kane would be terrible and Sheamus just won the US title. Orton isn't getting the belt again anytime soon and if Batista is having time off then neither is he. That leaves Cena, HHH and Bray. I might be in the minority but I still think it's too earlier for Bray to get the title so we're down to HHH and Cena.

The rumor is that they're building towards a HHH vs Reigns match at SS but would Reigns be a believable contender? I don't think he's even close to ready when it comes to main eventing a major PPV. Plus does anyone really want to see Bryan vs HHH again at SS? That leaves Cena as the only candidate for the title and the only person they can really put the belt on. Then they can bring Bryan back, have a rematch of last years SS main event and the angle writes itself. Am I just an idiot or is there some logic to this theory? I mean they could always just put the belt on Lesnar and still have him be part time, they did it with Rock and he didn't have a full time Heyman as a manager.
