Battle Royal format is the same as Royal Rumble right?

[M99]

If Cesaro is in then he is winning it 110% confirmed.

Will eliminate Swagger last.

[Onyx]

Yeh same as rumble. If only it was 6-7 superstars pinfall or submission though, would be much better.

[Onyx]

The "Occupy RAW" angle with Daniel Bryan last week was done to troll the fans who claimed they were hijacking RAW in Chicago the week before.

Some of Stephanie McMahon's lines in the segment about disrespecting her family and how she owns Bryan were said to be more or less how she feels about CM Punk right now.

No wonder her emotions looked so legit.

[Onyx]

She was disrespecting Punk by thinking Batista was some huge draw.

[RealGunner]

nah I think she was upset Punk couldn't come to the RAW to talk to the fans. Maybe say goodbye and all. It did ruin half the show.


Surely she doesn't believe Batista is a draw.

[Onyx]

He wouldn't say goodbye though because Vince already said he's taking a sabbatical. He just needs a break because his body is all banged up and he's going nowhere storyline wise.

Punk could still return at WM and help Bryan or something though.

[RealGunner]

What's in it for Punk if he helps Bryan? His contract is up in July and I really don't think he will sign another one unless they have a clause which says he will main event WM31.

If he comes back for WM30 and helps Bryan win. Then what? He turns heel on Bryan the next RAW?

If yes, then he has nothing in it unless he wins the title at the next PPV but why would Bryan win the title at WM to lose it next ppv?

If no, then what?

[Onyx]

He helps Bryan and then a triple threat at Extreme Rules. No point turning on Bryan because Punk is always cheered as a heel anyway.

Bryan (c) vs Punk vs Batista
Cena vs Bray Wyatt rematch

[RealGunner]

and once again, why would punk be back just to job to Bryan at ER?

[Onyx]

Because he's still in the main storyline.

Main thing Punk wanted is to main event WM. He deserved to, but he can't anymore.

Unless of course he returns at WM, storyline wise attacks Orton backstage and the title is then vacated. Vince puts Punk into the match. Unlikely scenario though.

[Onyx]

We noted several weeks back that there was a plan in place for The Miz and Dolph Ziggler to form a new "disgruntled" tag team. Now there's an idea for Zack Ryder to be thrown into the mix.

[RealGunner]

LMFAO

[Tomwin Lannister]

Omg that's such a horrible idea

Just release them (Not Ziggler) from contract and bring in some NXT people who at the very least might be interesting.

[Lex]

Zack Ryder

Dolph Ziggler

MiZ

Triple Z

Zzz

 

[Lex]

Pedigree off the top rope through the announce table IMO.

....and Cena kicks out at 2 bah gawd!!

[RealGunner]

lex u beast

Thanks to Dave Meltzer, Byran Alvarez and Figure Four Online/The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, we've got a glimpse into the top sellers for WWE, both at live events and via their online store, wwe.shop.com.

There aren't many surprises on the lists, and certainly not in the number one spots, where John Cena and his rainbow coalition of shirts, hats and sweatbands leads the charge.

While there aren't any numbers provided (so we can't tell how much Cena outsells the others by, or if the number two guy this year lags behind the volume the number two guy was moving last year), a strong showing by Daniel Bryan on both lists has probably been used to justify his ongoing rise up the card.

And the absence of the man right next to him on both lists is a good reason to want to solidify his standing in the eyes of the consumers.

Arena Merchandise Sales:

1. John Cena
2. Daniel Bryan
3. CM Punk
4. Batista
5. Sheamus
6. Hulk Hogan
7. Randy Orton
8. Brock Lesnar

WWEShop.com:

1. John Cena
2. CM Punk
3. Daniel Bryan
4. Hulk Hogan
5. The Shield
6. Steve Austin
7. Brock Lesnar
8. Undertaker
9. Randy Orton

[M99]

Is it just me or is Bryan turning into Cena? He has kicked out of the RKO, Fameasser, Killswitch and Chokeslam over the past few weeks.

[RealGunner]

It's what ALL faces do. Stone Cold lost 2 matches in 3 years of his face run iirc.

[Onyx]

Bryan is still in the process of being pushed, so he definitely has to be booked strongly.

[Onyx]

As of right now, the plan appears to be for WWE to close WrestleMania XXX with Daniel Bryan standing tall as WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

The audience reaction to Bryan can't be denied, and recent reports of WWE's top merchandise movers placing Bryan near the top of the list have likely helped to convince any remaining WWE officials skeptical of Bryan's drawing ability that this is a chance worth taking.

It should also be noted that it is extremely likely that Bryan loses his title over the summer, possibly as soon as Extreme Rules, the very next pay per view on the schedule.

[M99]

Extreme Rules is too soon. He should be champion for at least 2 months.

[RealGunner]

Yea agreed.

[RealGunner]

Forgot to mention in my review but JBL was absolutely hilarious in the occupy Raw thing lmao

"Where is the memphis police?"

"Hope they have enough handcuffs for these people"
