I think it would be weird for 3D to come back at the rumble because they're a tag team and should come back as a unit

 

[Pugz]

if they do come back, i hope it's for more than just the rumble. id love to see bubba get a little run going

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

They'll just water his character down lol.

Joey Styles Predicts Brock Lesnar Will Win The Royal Rumble
 

WWE’s Vice President of Digital Media Content Joey Styles has made a bold prediction for Sunday’s Royal Rumble match. Despite not even being an announced participant, Styles thinks that reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar will win the 30-man battle royal.
WWE.com has published a new “Editor’s Choice” feature with predictions for the Rumble match, with Styles laying out the most outlandish scenario. Here’s how he thinks it will go down:

“After losing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship without being beaten when Rollins pins John Cena, Lesnar will take another Superstar’s spot in the Royal Rumble Match after beating him into unconsciousness backstage. The enraged former UFC Heavyweight Champion will then leave battered and broken bodies strewn about ringside behind him as he starts his Road to WrestleMania — and revenge.”

Other than Cena winning, that would be sweet

 

[Pugz]

i wouldn't mind that at all, surprisingly.

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Rollins making history by becoming the first person to win the WWE championship without cashing in his MITB briefcase lol. If that happens that means Vince has a shit ton of stock in him.

To bring back the Bryan/Rollins debate, Rollins has done good work, but he had the leg up in his heel run, as he was thrown in a group with Triple H and Steph. Daniel Bryan got over without that kind of reaction of sorts in place. 
 
That's not to take away from Rollins. He's been great. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Rollins has also had no one actually put him over on this run, at least that I can remember. Sure he's lumped in a group with legends, but he gets all the heat he gets because of the Shield, if anything.
 
Cena hasn't buried Rollins but he certainly hasn't put him over. Bryan got put the hell over by multiple people

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Just being with the Authority put him over as well. With Trips and Steph on the mic every single week they can even make Zack Ryder look good if he was with them too lol.

Not necessarily. That's like saying Kane is being put over. Being in the Authority helps, but Seth is the top heel because of A) The Shield and B) his mic work has been terrific lately. When the Authority was gone it's not like people stopped hating him.
 
Meanwhile, Daniel Bryan went over
 
1) Randy Orton
2) John Cena
3) Triple H
4) Batista
 
Can't think of who else but I'm sure there's more.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Actually Rollins did beat Orton in the "squash the beef" match they had right before Randy got written off but that hardly did anything.

I was talking about his initial heel run. He went over all those guys as a face after the fact. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I think the "yes/no" chant got over long before Daniel Bryan did.

 

[elcheato]

The chant was apart of his character. The chant being a success in essence means he was over. Lets not act like crowds weren't chanting "Daniel Bryan" back then, either. Obviously it wasn't as often and loud as it is now, but they were there. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

The Chant is way more over than he is. The fact that Brie Bella got full arenas doing it over the summer, which the WWE mistook for Brie being super over, proves that.

 

[elcheato]

So is the Daniel Bryan chant over, but not Daniel Bryan?

Did you really bring up Kane lol.  Kane doesn't even take himself seriously at this point in his career. You also have to look at it like then when the Shield broke up. WWE already had Ambrose and Reigns pegged in for future plans. Rollins was left out, so what better way was to plot twist us all was have him be the one turn on the Shield. Nobody would of thought he would even be the one to do that.

I don't think Daniel Bryan is considered the most over guy in the company if you take away the chant.

What future plans did they have for Dean? He hasn't even won a match since the break-up (only a slight exaggeration)

 

[Pugz]

the crowd chants cena sucks. hes not over?
