It's December 16th, and TLC 2012 is in the books. Here's what you need to know:
- Ziggler just beaten Cena for MiTB.
- The Shield has gone over Team Hell No clean. We stilll don't know why they're in the WWE at this point.
- Big Show and Punk are world champions. Punk is just under a month away from recovering from his knee injury and will be back on January 7th.
- Cesaro and Kofi are US/IC champions.
- Alberto is now a face, and AJ is a heel.
- Ryback is ever-present and needs something to do.
- The next PPV, the Royal Rumble, is on January 27th, and you have over a month to build it.
- After that is Elimination Chamber (Feb 17th), and the big WM (April 7th).
- The Rock is scheduled to fight whoever is WWE champ at the Rumble.
- Lesnar has been gone since August. Will he return on January 28th after the Rumble as scheduled? Will he F-5 McMahon, or do something more useful?
What happens? What are the angles? How do you build the marquis matches at the grandaddy of 'em all?
Ziggler still ends up with AJ and Langston but he wears flashy shades all the time and when someone asks him a question he has AJ or Langston talk for him because he's too good to talk to anyone. He's Mr. Money in the Bank and his little posse serves a purpose in making him look more important.
US/IC Until Elimination Chamber I book the cards so a lot of guys are trynna get these titles, real competitive shyt. I'm talking multiple people trying to get in on them at once.
After EC I start building to a unification of the titles that ends with a tournament the last match of which takes place at Wrestlemania.
The winner is presented with a new title that replaces both midcard belts, something along the lines of X-Division, a cool name like that.

New Midcard belt has more prestige than both old belts combined.

AND! This gives a bunch of nikkas in the roster something cool to do.
WHC Keep everything the same until ADR is an over face champ again.
This time, don't bring Swagger in til after Mania.
Build up to Mark Henry vs ADR at Mania.
I'll leave it up to you guys to decide who wins that match but either way Dolph Ziggler is screwed out of his cash-in by AJ's crazy ass (w/Langston) who going forward is just Langston's manager.
Dolph Ziggler becomes a psycho intense heel, a ruthless killer not another smug coward which we have plenty of.
MAIN EVENT PICTURE:
SHIELD: Instead of having a bunch of random fukks feuding with the shield, towards Mania you just have Team Hell-No and Ryback feuding with them.
This leads to:
1. Ambrose and Rollins beat Hell No becoming tag champs at Mania.
2. Ryback vs Reigns at Mania which involves a lot of #fukkery to mask their lack of wrestling ability, you can even put Ryback over here cause the Shield will still look strong after this.
RYBACK: Have him put through the announce table and shyt just as much as he was, but actually hype up his SHIELD feud more. After Mania this nikka can drop down to the upper-midcard which would be more legit now anyway.
HEYMAN and PUNK: Vince reveals Heyman was working with the Shield, problem is he did it without Punk's knowledge.
Punk turns face on Heyman over this because he is good enough to fight his own battles.
Brock Lesnar comes out with Heyman and they interfere in Punk's match
to give him the win and set up Brock vs Rock for mania.
JOHN CENA: I still have John Cena win the Royal Rumble

This time face CM Punk eventually confronts him on RAW to tell Cena that he's changed but what hasn't changed is that he can still beat Cena any place, any time including Mania.
John Cena just gives him the johnboy and a handshake.
WHEN PUNK STARTS WALKING AWAY HE ATTACKS HIM AND HITS HIM WITH THE AA, CENA HEEL TURN.
WWE Title at mania: FACE PUNK vs HEEL CENA in NYC.
Undertaker does not get involved in this mania at all.
Triple H does not get involved either.
I fire Michael Cole after the Rumble and have my announcers be JBL and Joey Styles on RAW and King and Josh Matthews on Smackdown.
I either fire Miz or have doing strictly interviews and announcing on Main Event and Saturday Night Slam.
