So basically the was announced that the winner of Bryan/ Rollins tonight will face roman reigns at Fast Lane to determine who faces Brock. So Roman reigns who beat 29 other men to earn his shot now has to defend it against these guys who didn't. What happened to the days of the rumble winner being guaranteed a shot at the title? This just makes the rumble seem like a joke. Congrats you beat 29 other guys, now beat the winner of these guys and you get your shot, as if what you did wasn't enough. Is it just me or is this really stupid and annoying?
End of Rant

Eh, it's been done before. Shawn Michaels defended his WM Title shot against Owen Hart in 1996. Matches have been changed, guys have been added to matches before, stipulations have been put into place.....
It's all about the story. None of it makes sense or has to be consistent. They strip Daniel Bryan of the title for not being able to contractually defend it, but Brock Lesnar defends the belt twice in 6 months.
WWE will do and say whatever they have to in order to get the story where they want it to be.
And chances are Roman Reigns is still going to take the belt off Brock because Vince is obsessed with him. This whole thing is just one more way to screw Daniel Bryan. If they were smart, they'd just have him lose tonight and get it over with because if they have Daniel Bryan lose to Roman Reigns at FastLane, Roman Reigns will NEVER be cheered again.
At least this way, Seth will get the heat.

It's a good thing if Daniel Bryan goes on to face Brock at WrestleMania. If it still leads to RomanWinsLol then it's stupid and pointless.

Yep, pointless I'm sorry I have no desire to see Bryan main event Wrestle Mania.

It would be pointless to have Reigns beat whoever wins tonight between Rollins and Bryan because it's just a waste of time.
Like why would they even be doing this in the first place if Bryan isn't going to win? Bryan has to win!

Ready, Reigns and Bryan will end with a DQ or double countout or some draw, and thus the WM match becomes a triple threat. Done.

The problem is WWE won't pull an audible. It should have been obvious that Reigns shouldn't have won before and during the Rumble. They should have changed the script right then. Instead they stuck to their plan and now have to try and "fix" it.

Cena also 'cashed in' at Elimination Chamber one year. This is nothing knew. I know the IWC gets allot of flak for comparing but WWE deserves all of this. Worse case of damage control I think I can remember. I said in the Raw thread Bryan had a story tailored made for a WM main event and squandered it and has permanently damaged Reigns. He'll always be compared to Cena from here on out.

Not the first time a RR winner has had to defend their shot. In this case it makes sense.
Even if Roman wins at FL it will not be pointless. If it sells the event and gives a solid main event with a compelling story, then it will all be worth it.

Yeah so I guess Orton didn't face HHH at Mania 25, Edge didn't face Jericho at 26, Del Rio didn't face Edge at 27, Sheamus didn't face Bryan at 28, Cena didn't face Rock at 29, and Batista didn't face Orton at 30?  What are you talking about.. The rumble winner always faces the champion. This time it's being changed because of the poor execution of the rumble and poor decision on the winner that was made this year. It's not pointless. Your rant is. |

Plain and simple, after the reactions Reigns (the next Golden Boy) has been getting since the Rumble I can see Vince pulling an audible and building Bryan for WrestleMania 31.
WrestleMania is THE biggest event of the WWE year and I don't think Vince would risk a lower than expected "buy rate" by risking a straight up Lesnar v Reigns match at Mania.
One thing the WWE has done for the first time in ages is make me interested in the PPV between the Rumble and Maina. Traditionally that PPV (No Way Out, Elimination Chamber, now Fastlane) has been a "Status Quo" PPV.

You say it like its been happening each year for the last three or so years. Lighten up. |

One thing the WWE has done for the first time in ages is make me interested in the PPV between the Rumble and Maina. Traditionally that PPV (No Way Out, Elimination Chamber, now Fastlane) has been a "Status Quo" PPV. Did you mean Bryan? This kind of thing is ridiculous. There's no way WWE would do the same thing twice both years, by backtracking and having Daniel Bryan win a shot at the title, because he didn't win the Rumble. Thus overshadowing the RR winner and making the whole match pointless. And if they do, it's obviously done for fan service and giving in to the masses for not going with the popular decision in the first place. They are so predictable in everything they do nowadays, we all knew Reigns would win back months ago and they never keep us on our toes. Bryan was the popular choice to win, but maybe he didn't because he wasn't 100% from his injury. But in that case, don't give the fans false hope that he'll get a chance to beat Reigns to face Brock. WWE will either grant him the title shot (and sully the RR match) or take it away (and make the Bryan lovers hate them even more). Their booking always seems to make them end up between a rock and a hard place. I just wish if they're going to make a decision, make sure it makes sense, think of every eventuality and see the whole fricking thing through. Don't backtrack. They should have Reigns embrace the fact he's not the fans' favorite, and either turn heel with Heyman defecting against Brock, or turn Reigns into a renegade (which made him popular in the first place) and turn up the throttle. |

What would be kind of cool was if the WWE thought real long term with this. Have Bryan some how once again get into the title match at Wrestlemania. But the twist would be for the 2016 Royal Rumble. Have Bryan actually win the Rumble, but then for his WM title match to get  ed with, have to wrestle at the Feb PPV to still keep his shot and other stuff. It could possibly lead to him becoming a heel or just add another dimension to his character. |

I have a feeling it'll end up a triple threat at Wrestlemania only to improve the quality of the match. Reigns will probably still walk out champ though.

If they didn't make it so obvious as to is gonna win the Rumble the past few years, they wouldn't have to do stuff like this. Whenever I don't know who will win it I don't care as much. When WWE pretty much says "Cena will win" "Batista will win" "Reigns will win" that's when I have a problem with it. I did not think Sheamus was gonna win and I ended up enjoying his Mania build, unlike the past 3 rumbles.

Weeks before he won the Rumble he was facing the Big Show, how does that possibly indicate he'll be winning the Rumble? |
