Jesse Ewiak Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Cena's not turning heel as long as he's bringing in tens of millions of dollars for the WWE via merchandise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Bennett Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Still more likely than Cena-Hunter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlittlekitten Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 No it's not. And if Cena/Taker was happening they would have sowed the seeds already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Bennett Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 WWE don't have a set rule where they have to throw out hints towards their Mania main event. Sometimes they do it, other times they don't. Say what you want about the above card, but you're insane if you think there is even a halfway decent chance of Cena-Trips happening. That's not realistic WWE booking at all and I'm really not even sure how people could get that impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Redman Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I don't think Cena/Hunter is likely, although it is possible since they are both there and none of the Mania matches are set yet. Hunter seems destined to wrestle someone on the babyface side, and the only options are Bryan, Punk or Cena. My point was that Cena/Hunter definitely isn't any more unlikely than the mythical CENA HEEL TURN~! white whale. Especially when you're calling people "insane" for suggesting otherwise.

Mini Bennett Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I didn't say that. I said you are insane if you think Cena-Trips is happening. When I throw around words like "insane" over the internet it's usually fairly tongue-in-cheek anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Redman Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I understand that, but again, it's really not any less likely to happen than Cena turning heel and Bryan becoming the #1 babyface. The only difference is that we want those things to happen, while nobody wants to see Cena/Hunter. But Cena has already begun to be positioned as the top babyface speaking out against Orton, it will only take Cena turning towards Hunter and Steph instead to make that feud happen. Again, I don't want it to happen, and I don't think it is as likely as other things, but it is a possibility. Same as Cena turning heel is a possibility, but a remote one for all the obvious reasons.

Triple H must want his WM win back from Cena, if that is in fact the direction. It's odd how WWE diverted Bryan's attention towards HBK when it really should be Triple H he should focus on if not in a title match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 My predictions: I doubt this is what will happen, but I would enjoy this card Randy Orton vs. CM Punk for the Title Roman Reigns with The Shield in his corner vs. The Undertaker Batista & John Cena & Hulk Hogan vs. The Wyatt Family Daniel Bryan vs. Shawn Michaels Brock Lesnar vs. Ryback Goldust & Cody Rhodes vs. Mark Henry & Big E Langston for the Tag Titles Antonio Cesaro vs. Sheamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a slaughter in principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the WWE's mind - Bryan hitting the flying knee on HHH inside the Cell was his "I got back at HHH for screwing me out of the title" moment. Unless they are super cooling off the Bryan/HHH stuff as they wait to reveal who is behind the Wyatts or something. That could reignite things with Bryan/HHH.

Strummer Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 On Twitter Meltz said he was just predicting and speculating that Batista would win the Rumble and challenge Orton. It wasn't a definite report. I still think that has a more than decent shot of happening well technically he called it a discussion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just seems like total conjecture to me. What is this even based off? Granted, this is coming from someone who has zero faith in internet reports in 2013. Bryan hitting the flying knee on Hunter is a way of giving Bryan at least some form of retribution in response to getting totally fucked over by the Authority and that they aren't confident Creative can carry a top storyline from August all the way through to April. The Wyatt feud is just something to keep him busy until he wins the Rumble match. I honestly don't feel like I'm being overly optimistic here. Simple logic. Not even WWE are that dumb.

Steven Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 It's probably going to be Hunter/Punk and Bryan/Shawn. Bryan hasn't really had any interaction with HHH since HIAC and they've had Shawn and Bryan engage in physical confrontations. With HHH throwing Punk off of Orton and booking him in a handicap match vs the Shield, they seem to be leaning towards that match happening. Anyone a little disappointed with what they're doing with Show? He shouldn't be champion or anything, but he was getting really over as the "Angry Giant Unleashed on Authorities". After being punted and getting the world's fastest healing concussion, he's been thrown in a team with Rey and has made no attempt at getting any type of retribution. Hell, Bryan at least got several PPV main events and continued tension with Triple H and co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a definite report. Praise the lord, I'd heard that it was an actual report. Bryan winning the Rumble is the only one that really seems to make a lick of sense right now, unless they want to do a surprise return, like Sheamus, and put him over in the match.

Slasher Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 The funny in a sad way is that if they keep Triple H away from Daniel Bryan, it reinforces the idea thst Daniel Bryan won't be wrestlkng "A+" players like him at Wrestlemania. Yeah Shawn is a legend in their minds but this is a retired dude pushing 50. This is the Booker T. thing all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Bennett Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Its not even the same thing at all. Bryan pinned the biggest name in the company in the past 10 years cleaner than anyone else probably ever has at the 2nd biggest show of the year. That, and Bryan is a lot better than Booker.

My impression was the exact opposite of yours, that he was saying "I wasn't making predictions, I was discussing what I know is planned." Especially when Mike Johnson reported the same story yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
