This current storyline is probably going to be the HOTTEST angle in the E that we've seen in a minute. Everything we've seen before, with trying to shoe-horn The Rock into the title picture to play off his feud with Cena, Lesnar coming back, Punk pipe-bombing and reigning like a mug, and the rise and plummet of Ryback. All that, plus everything else, this shyt feels genuine.
We needed the McMahons and Trips to be involved to add the fuel to the small fire that the E had been building up, but something else is worth noting.
The sudden absence of Cena really puts so much up in the air. For the longest time, Cena winning really wasn't a surprise, but hopefully it would be creative enough to disguise that he wasn't near the end of his full worth to the company. All the crying for a heel turn or a clean passing of the torch wasn't going to happen anytime soon, but Bryan going over him and having Orton cash in just put the E as we know in seemingly unfamiliar territory.
I say "seemingly" because so many of us really don't trust the direction of what we're seeing. Some think D-Bry just gonna get jobbed out from this, so Cena can come back and set up that potentially iconic showdown with Orton at Mania XXX. Others think it's just a way for Triple H to get some shine. Then, there are the few who are just strapped in to see that boy Daniel Bryan be the muthafukkin man of the company.
What all that says is that there is NO direction this goes that is obvious. Right now, with Triple H making bytches of the whole roster, it sets up someone to step up and become an instantaneously HUGE player in this angle, and moving forward. You can't tell me if they involve Dolph or Big Show somehow, that they don't become legit in some way.
THAT is a true indication of the genius of this angle, and how it really couldn't play out like this with a years-established protagonist. This is how you build someone up the right way.

) vs. Orton/Shield at Night Of Champions. You just know there is going to be some kind of dumbass ending at NOC because they aren't letting D-Bry lose clean and I feel like it's a safe bet Orton will be champ til Mania.
