Summerslam main event speculation

Spoiler

As you should always remember when reading over pro wrestling rumors, plans can and do change, often without warning or explanation. And so, it seems now that the long rumored plans for Daniel Bryan to challenge John Cena for the WWE Title at SummerSlam have been scrapped. It is now being said that the SummerSlam main event slot will be a triple threat match between Cena, Mark Henry and...Ryback. This meshes with rumors that came out after Payback that said the WWE decision makers still see Ryback as a main event talent and would give him some time this summer to rebuild his image in mid-card feuds, which is exactly what his Money in the Bank match against Chris Jericho will likely help accomplish. It's not all bad news for Bryan however, as he is still believed to be the favorite in the "red" Money in the Bank ladder match.

****. Them.

Ryback is just a joke at this point. Can't win on PPV and no one cares anymore.

At the same time, that makes it more likely that Henry wins at MitB, which I actually want more than Bryan personally. I don't really want Bryan to win MitB as I don't feel it builds him up the best. Have him go over Henry at NoC or OTL after working his way into a title shot. Having him go over the World Strongest Man after being the "Weak Link" would be much more exciting to me.

Ryback being back in does suck though. He needs a bigger run through the midcard for awhile before I'll believe in him being a threat.

They never had a clear plan for the guy. They just had him lose so much that no one buys anything he says. Its their fault really. Too bad for the guy.


Brad Maddox ruined his career with the low blow heard around the world. Its been downhill ever since.

That article shows how much a joke the other titles are. It says the WWE title is the only active championship Henry hasn't held... and yet he's never held the IC, US, or Tag belts.

Funny I was thinking about that last night. He went from like jobber/lower level mid card guy to main eventer.

Some NODQ news on this Independence Day.

- Regarding Daniel Bryan not being punished over the recent confrontation with Triple H backstage, some witnesses say Vince McMahon was there and others say he wasn't present. Apparently Vince has given Triple H full control of managing talent and when Triple H didn't want to punish Bryan for his outburst, Vince didn't overrule him.

- Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards will have their Ring of Honor contracts expire on August 1st. There is at least some interest from WWE in both men. Word is that Sean Waltman recommended the two to WWE officials.

- Regarding The Undertaker returning, a match with Kane against The Shield for SummerSlam is not a definite right now. At last word, Taker vs. Brock Lesnar for WrestleMania XXX is planned if Lesnar vs. The Rock doesn't materialize.

- It's also said that The Rock could end up in the main WrestleMania XXX storyline, possibly the McMahon family angle.

- Almost everyone within WWE says Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena is a lock for SummerSlam and that it won't be pulled like it was at Money in the Bank. There are forces within the company pushing for Bryan to win the WWE Title from Cena.

- Regarding head writer Dave Kreizman being credited with the direction for this year's WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view, the main stuff booked was not his doing. The main direction this year is all Vince McMahon, with Triple H leading the proposed McMahon family heel turn angle. Kreizman isn't mapping out ideas, just interfacing with other division that have to be kept up to speed. Ed Koskey and Dave Kapoor have been rounding up the ideas from the writers.

As far as top storylines, everything planned out a month back is going exactly as scheduled for WrestleMania XXX. Whatever changed being made before TV hits the air are not changing the big picture for New Orleans.

The planned main angle, which will get bigger as SummerSlam approaches and explode at some point after that for WrestleMania, is the current angle with the McMahon family. The main reason for this storyline is because the McMahons came up with it as the key angle for next year's WrestleMania.

- There has been a lot of internal talk about WWE's long-term future internationally. Years ago, WWE's idea was that domestic business will be at a certain level, maybe not growing, but the big growth would be introducing the WWE product to new markets on TV and going to these new markets live once or twice a year but having a weekly TV presence.

However, after several years, the idea that business would end up 50% domestic and 50% international is not happening, and if anything, the domestic percentage is staying the same or slightly growing. It's been questioned where the next boom market is after an inability to maintain growth in Italy, Mexico, France, Spain and to an extent Turkey and Germany. Australia and the UK are the two outside markets that have remained very strong. The feeling within WWE is that the UK will always be strong but it’s the rest of Europe and Asia that the company is trying to focus on growing.

- Regarding the two Divas WWE hired for the E! reality show, Eva Marie and Jo Jo Offerman, the word going around backstage is that they are very bad in the ring.

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

I'd love another McMahon-Helmsley heel angle of sorts. Keep them involved and as heels, and it is something to look forward to on Monday nights. Corporate nice guys are atypical.

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

Tazz went back to obscurity, so that WWE return ain't happening.

I'm kind of sad about that.

Wow, that's an absolute shocker.

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

But they were very bad out of the ring too sooooo....

The McMahon feud is interesting, curious as to where it's going. If the Rock got involved a Rock/HHH match or something would be entertaining.

I really want to make it to WM30, but the timing couldn't be worse if only it was in NO a year later

It sucks but TNA needed him more than WWE did especially since he's Ace's & 8s mouth piece so to speak and one of the group's most important members.

It pains me to say this with The Rock being my favorite wrestler and all, but I'm just about done with seeing him come back again.

The only way it'd have my attention was if he went heel. The current babyface Rock is almost nothing compared to the one I grew up watching.
