no matter what cool scenarios we can conjure up, my money is still on Cena to win this thing.

[Simple Torture]

Or Orton, which would be even worse.

[BigRedLedbetter]

Anyone but Cena or Orton please.

I'm hoping for Cesaro or Wyatt but I'd guess it'll be Cena or Reigns because RR is being pushed to the moon.

I'm hoping for a Cesaro or Rollins/Bryan series at some point for the title. That would warm my Ring of Honor loving heart. The matches Bryan Danielson and Tyler Black (Rollins) had in RoH were great as was the match they had on Raw on 6-10-2013.

Check out this spot.....

Rollins
Ambrose
Ziggler
Rusev
Barrett

Dallas

Rollins
Ambrose
RVD
Kofi
Swagger
Dallas
Big E

Hey, between us we got all 7!

[numbers]

That match is going to be so much better than the title match it's not even funny.

[Simple Torture]

The only person in that match that I really dislike watching is RVD; I know he's paid his dues for years, but it's time to hang them up, grandpa. Otherwise, A+ talent.

[MattA75]

Kofi and Swagger are useless in this match...

[numbers]

Kofi is good for at least one great spot, swagger, yeah he's useless.

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

i may have to go ahead and get the network so i can watch this ppv

[Simple Torture]

Swagger can at least play the "intimidating big guy" role in this match (especially since Barrett may be out). Kofi takes good bumps and is willing to throw his body around. Should be fun!

[numbers]

I've been reading scuttlebutt that people will be reluctant to work with swagger after he injured Barrett, as Barrett isn't the first guy he's put out.

[i got bugs]

It looks too obv that reigns will win.. actually he might n then drop it right away to Rollins if he wins

Actually it would be cool to give the briefcase to rusev..

But we all know cena will probably win so,

[MattA75]

Now that we know the competitors for the second match, and given Barrett's injury, I'm wondering if my first scenario plays out (Rollins wins briefcase, Reigns wins title, Reigns gets screwed by HHH/Kane/Authority, Rollins cashes in, advancing the Reigns/Authority feud that will eventually get to him and HHH at Summerslam, and Rollins/Bryan or Rollins/whomever).

RVD isn't winning, neither is Swagger, or Kingston. It doesn't seem to be Ambrose's time right now. Ziggler would be a possibility but they never seem to stick with any sort of push he gets. Barrett supposedly was the favorite before he got hurt. The two most obvious replacements for Barrett are Rusev (blech) and Bo Dallas. If this were six months down the road, I almost could see Dallas winning but it's too early for that, they'd end up killing him like they did Sandow.

Either way, I don't see Cena or Orton winning. Even Vince has to realize how stale those two are right now.

[i got bugs]

I like rusev.. yea he's just your typical brute.. but I think lanas looks n mic work (plus the whole usa vs russia) can get him over better than other guys like that like ryback

[BigRedLedbetter]

If anyone is on the fence about the Network just do it. You won't regret it for any other reason but the PPVs.

Swagger is awful. He almost destroyed the World Heavyweight Title on his own. Swags also has injured Dolph on multiple occasions and he derailed his World Title reign. No idea why Swags is still employed. He screams TNA.

I'm digging Rusev but mostly because of Lana.

Please anyone but Cena or Orton in the title ladder match. I'm really hoping for Cesaro or Rollins vs Bryan for the title at Summerslam. If they give that match we could see the best wrestling match in years.

If the plans are still to bring back Lesnar for a title shot at Summerslam, Cesaro could be used for the Heyman Guy vs Heyman Guy angle...I still think Rollins takes the briefcase, and maybe holds it for a while until there's someone holding the belt they don't mind putting him over on (i.e. not Lesnar, assuming Lesnar wins at Summerslam and keeps it until WM 31)

What is the latest on Bryan? Last I heard was the July PPV was even in question at this point

[numbers]

From what I hear he isn't expected back for Summerslam.

[i got bugs]

Reigns vs lesnar would be cool.. like the lesnar win would ultimately put over rr..

To be honest, as much of a fan as I am of his work in the ring, I hope Bryan stays out for a while. The guy just had goddamned neck surgery, he doesnt need to come back too soon from it because WWE has been inept at creating main eventers the last few years.

Agreed. I don't wanna see another Edge scenario where he has to retire prematurely. Bryan is one of the best in ring wrestlers I have ever seen and he still has lots of good years left. Imagine the POP he'd get if he is a surprise entry in the Rumble. I agree though wait until you are 100%.
