His injury kept him out until they already had plans for everyone else. I think that plays a huge part of it. I agree. I think his health is potentially what is holding him back right now storyline and World title wise. I get a Roman was getting the push. I just feel they are really nervous about him reaggravating his neck injury.

The problem with the match is that it's the King of the Losers match. Bad News, Ambrose, Harper and Truth have been shown as nothing but losers for the last 6-12 months.
Not only that but the focus is totally these guys stealing the belt instead of actually winning the belt or matches.
If Bryan doesn't win then it's a disaster. If Bryan does win its a disaster for Ambrose whose been built up to win the title.
So yeah it'll be a good match but it has zero consequences and whoever becomes the champ is destined to lose every match on TV ever.

Yeah I want Bryan to have a singles match instead, although I did love how the guys kept stealing the IC title from Barrett though.

I think maybes Sheamus doesn't return til Mania and screws Bryan out of the match, Ambrose ends up winning the match and maybes has a feud with Ziggler...maybes Bryan goes on to win MITB later in the year?

I still don't think Bryan's going to be fighting for the IC title. I just don't see it. He doesn't seem interested like everyone else and is just caught in the middle because there's nothing else for him to do. Seems to me like they're just holding it open as a last resort in case he can't get into a match with Sheamus or whoever.

The problem i have with this is that Bryan SHOULD be in the main event. He has proven he is still the most over guy on the roster, He is still a workhorse and he had a PERFECT story for him against Brock. I'm just imagining the build up for Bryan/Lesnar and it ing pisses me off that its not happening and the fact that they even teased it at Fastlane pisses me off even more. They snubbed the crap out of Bryan this year. Roman Reigns should be the one in this IC title match. That would have been a GOOD spot for a WM debut as a singles wrestler. Its absolute bullcrap that they didnt have a set in stone storyline for Bryan from the get go, We have 3 weeks until Mania and we dont know for sure what he is doing. Thats unacceptable.

I don't know how we can't think Bryan is in the IC Title match at this point. I'd honestly rather see him in this ladder match than facing Sheamus. I see Truth vs Ambrose vs Bryan vs Ziggler vs Barrett vs Harper as the match. The MITB matches started out with 6 guys and it's a good way to get people in a match that matters. The build has been pretty comical to this point too. Maybe we can get Ziggler vs Bryan at Extreme Rules coming off this match, so the match a bunch of us wanted to see again anyway.
I tend to think Ambrose will win but that was really where the story was going before they decided to throw Bryan in the match. Now I think Bryan could easily win the strap as a way to deflect him from the main event. I could also easily see a Ziggler heel turn and win, setting up Bryan vs Ziggler. Some interesting combinations coming out of that match imo.
It is what it is. Time to deal with it. Should Bryan be doing something more important, yes. He's not though and I've moved on to hoping for the best out of the situation he's in, which is a good one imo in terms of potential match quality. Bryan is going for the IC Title and Cena the US Title. That makes those midcard titles feel like something guys at the main event level covet. That's best for business.

The main event at Wrestlemania should be a triple threat match. Lesnar vs. Reigns vs. Bryan
Just like Daniel Bryan should have been in the final 4 at the Royal Rumble.
Even if Roman Reigns still won the Rumble and still wins the title at Wrestlemania, at LEAST including Daniel Bryan makes it seems a little bit suspenseful.
I think the big issue with Roman Reigns, and this is just my opinion, is that WWE is NOT even trying to not make it obvious. It is so blatant that Roman Reigns is the hand picked guy that it's almost BORING. That's why people boo'd at the Royal Rumble because Daniel Bryan was eliminated so early and once he was out it was OBVIOUS Reigns was winning, just like having that stupid match at FastLane made it even more obvious that Reigns is winning at Wrestlemania.
WWE is just being blatantly obvious and the complete lack of suspense is just straight up boring.

It's the ladder match for the IC title or a meaningless match with Sheamus.
Count your blessings.

What better way to kick off the year (post WM31) than having two top guys with the mid-card titles. Like it or not, it would bring legitimacy back to the titles.

"As days goes by..."
Dude it's been one day. One day. Yesterday was the first day the teased him being in the IC title match. With that being said could you HONESTLY tell me that you'd rather Bryan face Sheamus at Wrestlemania for the THIRD time instead of being in a match we've rarely seen him in with a bunch of guys who will not only seem more important bc of his plqcement but will likely steal the show too?

I'd rather see Daniel Bryan going after the Intercontinental Championship rather than being in the main event and squaring off against Sheamus.
I am enjoying both Bryan and John Cena are being positioned lower on the card and give that spot to a Seth Rollins and a Roman Reigns.
It would be a wise idea to have the IC Championship open the show and get the crowd at Levi's Stadium hot. I am glad both the Intercontinental and United States championships are being positioned as a big deal. I think it is time to make championships to be made serious as opposed to treating it as props and waist/shoulder candy.

I ha e 2 problems with this match...
1) whether people want to admit it or not Bryan is above the ic title. He's still one of the top 2 most over stars in the company. There is absolutely no reason the wwe couldn't have found a meaningful 1 on 1 match for him.
2) Bryan loosing will hurt his stock more. Yea it's a ladder match so he won't be pinned or submitted, but how is loosing to a bunch of midcarders help him? The wwe already is showing they don't put a lot of faith in him by not giving him a 1 on 1 match, and him loosing in this match pushes that idea even further.

Why do people still say the IC title can be elevated? Have you not learned? They don't care about it, and it shows exactly how they feel about Daniel Bryan that they'd even slap him in the face with this.

Yeah you guys are out of your minds to think of this as the IC title being elevated.

When was the last time the IC title actually meant something? Ambrose says before the Invasion. I'd say 2007ish.
