HBK voted, screws DB because he's HHH's buddy.

That was my thought. He's loved by the fans so he'll no doubt screw over DB and take sides with HHH and Randy Orton. I really hope that doesn't happen because should it really be that obvious.

[Hex]

HBK hasn't been a heel since the late 90s when he was briefly aligned with the Corporation then vanished. They're going to play up this angle as HHH and HBK being great friends and put it in everyone's mind that HBK will screw over DB. Much like HHH vs Taker at Mania when HBK was the ref.

People seem to forget that HBK also trained Bryan. I know they've mentioned it a couple times in the past but I'm wondering if they will bring it up going into HIAC. Making it seem like HBK has to choose friendship over letting his Student finally having his moment.

[Tyrath]

HBK mentioned training Bryan last night so I'm pretty sure thats gonna be the big thing for him. Friend vs Student.

[Anoat]

I'm not sure how much of the "HBK trained Daniel Bryan" thing is legitimate or just something that they play up. I've never heard DB comment on it himself, but he has also said that William Regal did most of his training. And William Regal has said that "Shawn Michaels took $1500 from him on the first day of class and never saw him again."

He was a heel for a few months when he came out of retirement to lead the WWE edition of the NWO about 10 years ago.

Your winner and NEW WWE CHAMPION....ABEYANNCE!

Also, this was pretty cool.

Why is Cesaro not a face yet after this?

Daniel Bryan started his wrestling career out of Shawn Michaels Texas Wrestling Academy along with some others like Brian Kendrick back when he was known as Spanky. He did spend at least some time there before he moved onto wrestling in the indy's and studying further under Regal. But it was with Shawn where he first learned the basics at least and then Regal really took over.

[Tyrath]

Why is Cesaro not a face yet after this?

He probably will be soon.

[Yugl]

The last match for RAW was pretty good if anyone hasn't checked out yet.

[NynJa]

The tag match? Yeah, glad they won it!!

Spoiler: show

Only thing that didnt make sense was the no-DQ match having no no-DQ antics for the first 10 min. But, it made for a good match, so im not gonna argue.

[Lucavi]

I am fully ready for the Cesaro face turn. The dude is amazing. Find a use for him, WWE. Put him in a repackaged feud with Barrett or something. There's enough guys with talent for creative to allow the audience to feed off of.

[Tyrath]

Sure it makes sense. If the Shield has to resort to the No DQ advantage from the start it makes them look a little bit weak. It's only when they start losing that they have to get down to it and involve Ambrose.

Also I think you're okay without spoilers. Live TV shit here heh.

[NynJa]

Like i said, that was why i didnt mind, because it did give a good quality match. But i would have expected more heel interference or mind games, since thats been their MO from day one.

Dustin still works well for a 45 year old who hasnt sen much action in the past 5 or so yrs. and even if they are the most awkward tag team character wise, its nice to see the rhodes brothers have the titles!

I'm telling you, those pink gloves are no joke. He puts them on and instantly goes super saiyan.

Also, I know it's PG and everything, but I really thought they were gonna let him connect with Shattered Dreams since it was no dq

[NynJa]

I dont think thats pg reason, theyve done plenty of low blows sice PG era

[Exoduso]

So....... how about that upcoming HBK screwjob at HIAC?

Also, I'm happy to see 2 HIAC matches that actually have meaning now... in recent years this PPV has sucked balls because the rivalries did not warrant the match, but this time it seems like both matches finally have a reason to happen inside the cage. Oh and keeping ADR/Cena out of the cell is a very good move, don't need to see that crap.... and Cena's gonna win anyways so whatever.

[Anoat]

Here is my fantasy booking hat, Cena beats ADR and wins the title after a fairly pedestrian match, ADR snaps and destroys him afterwards with the cross arm breaker, Sandow cashes in and wins the belt, Cena goes back to his regularly scheduled 6 months off.

[Tyrath]

Cena is scheduled to be back to normal so not happening lol. Not to mention theres been talks of turning Sandow face.
