Hogan can't wrestle or get physically involved at all, he will probably end up doing Pipers pit which leaves Cena vs. Bray and another rumored match is The Ultimate Warrior vs. Ryback.
- I really don't think Bryan is being buried or mistreated by the WWE. Think about this: How much TV time does this guy get every Monday for the last six months or so? How does this compared to the TV time for every other wrestler, including Cena and Orton? And this doesn't even include the face time he gets on the WWE's other important TV show, Total Divas. Vince McMahon may well prefer big tall muscle guys but he is smart enough to recognize an obvious reality and work with what is happening. Daniel Bryan is the featured star of the WWE TV shows now. - The guy who really got screwed in this whole Royal Rumble booking is probably Batista, ironically. He is supposed to be a top face character promoting his movie but his job just got 3 times harder because fans are transferring their frustration onto him and he is now getting loudly booed. He gets it even worse than Cena. Cena at least has the children in his corner while I am not sure how many strong Batista fans are left from his run years ago.
The thing is, the fans reaction wasn't the slightest bit unpredictable. If they insisted on Bryan not being in the rumble, they should have worked it into the story beforehand. Have the authority screw him out of his spot. Instead they allowed the fans to continue thinking Bryan was gonna be a surprise entrant, and unsurprisingly they were pissed and booed everybody until they finally sided with Reigns at the end. Batista never had a chance to be cheered as long as the fans were expecting Bryan. This company has rountinely screwed up everything around the Bryan phenomenon since the great decisions at Summerslam. If they wanted Batista to have a chance as a face they should have given the fans a target for their frustration for Batista to take out.

I think Punk needs a break from the ring so he can come back and enjoy it more... it seems like he is just going thru the motions right now.
Completely agree. He was so close to leaving but that MITB ppv gave him a new, rejuvenated love. I guess he's just burnt out and in need of an extended break. He'll come back in 6-8 months time and then his road to the top will culminate at Wrestlemania 31
Punk mentioned in the interview with Ariel Helwani that his post-WM break last year when he returned at Payback wasn't enough of a break. I think the majority of fans online agreed saying he's being rushed back in a forced matchup with Chris Jericho. I think Punk is in that same mode ala Austin in 2002 when he was pissed with the company, the travel, nagging injuries and the booked job to Brock Lesnar was the straw that broke the camel's back. The final straw for him may have been the booking at Royal Rumble. He has been vocal about WWE not having an effing clue and being rigid in their decision making when the crowds are telling them the direction they should move. That's why he threatened to not resign and pack his bags in 2011. I think Punk will cool off though, he just needs some time off from travel. I don't think anyone is dumb enough to miss a WrestleMania payday.
wwe creative team, needs to be more... creative. the maches are predictable and there are no great storylines anymore. Who knows, maybe if we post and give them ideas on there twitter accounts, they might read them. ranjin Singh , head writer for raw. https://mobile.twitter.com/WWERanjinSingh Kevin eck, wwe creative writer. https://mobile.twitter.com/KevinEck_WWE just imagin the rock, staying as rocky maivia and Austin staying as the ringmaster, just because lack of creative storylines and the right push. Daniel bryal is as over as can be right now, they need to give him and the fans, something to cheer for. too bad triple h is head of the head of the creative team team.
Pretty crazy that Punk basically quit. Hopefully this sends a message to creative that HHH playing the crony game is the kind of thing that killed WCW.
Guess they have to squash that rumor pronto. Poor Batista is getting enough crap thrown at him for "stealing the Rumble from Bryan." He doesn't need all the CM Punk fans blaming him for driving Punk out, too, while he is trying to work as a face character and promote his movie.
Any chance this CM Punk thing is a work? His latest program is him vs. the Authority, and this is kind of a logical extension of that.
Nope, he was suppose to headline multiple shows including the taping of smack down this week, but he didn't show. + if it was a work then this weeks raw would of touched on it in some capacity
Maybe the staff thought he had a concussion because they couldn't believe he was threatening to bounce.
