If this is indeed the start of Evolution 2.0, then I want Evolution vs. Revolution! Make D-bry, Punk and Ziggler a stable.
Not sure how practical it is though... Oh well.
Great PPV, two excellent MOTY contenders, and a decent cliffhanger swerve (only decent because they let it leak months ago and telegraphed it by having the HHH come out to King of Kings) to lead into RAW. Summer 2013 was great for Wrestling indeed. Here's hoping they take this momentum forward into the fall.

Punk is already over and doesn't fit anymore. Ziggler is a WWE thorough-bred, no?
I want Cesaro and say... Kassius Ohno?
I wonder if they'll call up anyone from NXT to fill the Orton role... perhaps everyone's favorite Bo Dallas.
He really is. Smarks want to like him so badly for all the good things he's doing right now (refocus on long term booking, NXT, D-Bryne push, having characters debut with storylines (except for Fandango and Shield), getting the best indie talent, and generally trying to build a better future for WWE), but then he does things like the Bork feud and SWERVING Daniel. I bet he and Vince are still cackling over it.
Smarks don't know whether to shit or wind their watches. IF THERE'S ONE THING I CAINT STAND....

Looking back at how HHH is smirking before the match makes me feel like he was dying inside holding back his laughter lol.

Man...Cesaro has been fucking incredible. His feud with Sami Zayn on NXT has resulted in some amazing matches.
Although Ziggler is indeed a WWE system guy, he has been known to be highly critical of it. It would also give Punk something to do whenever he's done with Heyman and Brock (I don't see that one going too much longer, unless they're going to push it all the way out to Mania... Doubt that highly).
I'll admit though, it's just fantasy booking, and not something I expect them to do at all.

It should be a permaban to even mention his name.
He's truly terrible in the ring. NXT has some talent, and he is not amongst that talent. His title match with Big E was just ridiculous. So bad. Damn.
How long before he does actually make it onto the main roster? In all seriousness?

I hope we end up getting a bunch of factions and it turns into Gang Rulz.

Return of Los Boricuas and D.O.A.?
If that happens then I know HHH and Vince have been watching New Japan. Pretty obvious that Bryan and maybe Cena at least watched a lot of it.

Gotta love the little things though. When Bryan slapped Cena back then it zooms in Cena's face like "shit just got real". I thought that called back at the go home Raw when Bryan said Cena didn't deserved the slap.

What if this leads to WWE vs. NJPW?fixed.
i'd write dream matches all day, but as big as NJPW is, it's still nowhere near the beast that WWE is. I guess they could do like when ECW was on WWF way back in the day, but I doubt it. WWE values storylines and promos, and you can't really do that with a bunch of those guys.
Except Shinsuke. Who is bilingual. Because he's amazing.

Christian is damn good in his WWE.com interview.
He complained heavily about the "system" and said he never trusted Triple H. Seems like they could be putting him in there. The show off may want to prove that he can play the game and win.
They're clearly high on Ziggler but seem aimless with him since his injury cost him his WHC run.

All the belt holders are heels. He might have them all come out tomorrow and offer them the chance to join his cabal of evil.
I think it could work, but where Austin got under the skin of the boss and weaseled his way to wins in spectacular fashion (Like, getting thrown through the steel cage by Big Show and then dropping lifelessly to the ground, winning it in a fluke, or stunning McMahon who was the special ref and counting the 3 with his hand himself.), Bryan can just be the good employee that, for whatever reason, management holds a grudge against, yet, whatever kind of match they throw him into, he's too good for them to beat.
Play up his wrestling skills and his status as the adorkable layman. Which is, well, what they're doing now.

Brian definitely a Sagat fan!!!! Tiger knee!!
people going lol knee. look at that
You know, honestly, I blame Vince and Steph more than HHH for all the stuff where he gets put into feuds.
I don't hear much about HHH flipping the script on wrestlers and holding grudges from the dirtsheets anymore. Vince, Steph, Hayes, and Laurenitis yes, but I usually hear HHH shooting down the ego-stroking stuff that Vince and his goons push for, and I recall hearing that Hayes and Vince pushed for the Nash and Punk stuff, not HHH.
Now HHH certainly has his issues and blemishes from the past (I mean this is the guy who came up with the montreal screwjob in the first place) but all his involvement in stuff as of late strike me more as the mcmahons ego stroking their family than HHH ego stroking himself. And though HHH has a lot of sway, he still has less control Vince and Steph

I like the fact Cena just took that shit, no hands. It looks very convincing and I could see him pulling that finisher out of nowhere like an RKO. Good sell Cena, good sell.
This was pretty good
Nicely put.
Honestly, Triple H did a great job in this match. He stayed in the background, he wasn't involved in the match and called it straight down the middle. He wasn't very involved in the celebration stuff either. Really, all he did was declare Bryan the victor and the pedigree spot and that's it.
It was fine, the match between Cena and Bryan didn't suffer and it evolved some storylines. What's the problem, really?

But I want Bryan and Cesaro to have 5 Star Iron Man matches every week while Paige sits on my lap. Anything less and it's obvious that Vince knows nothing about wrestling by not catering immediately to my demands!
Maybe next year.
What part in the match did this happen? When he hit the announce table near the start?
When he tries the top rope hurricanrana and cena "blocks" it by holding onto his legs, then jumps down and nearly destroys bryan's neck/spine in the process by dropping him on his head.. Then cena drags him to the center of the ring and applies his shitty submission
Holy fuck. I'm watching the replay and just saw it. Thank god Cena held on. Also looked like Cena stepped on Bryan's hand when he jumped down and almost lost his footing/hold. Brilliant new finisher by Bryan, fits his skill set well.

was the Lesnar vs Punk match good? i don't care who won, or any other match, just that one.
edit: ok, Bryan won and then got swerved, that's pretty damn funny. good on you, HHH, fuck the marks.

Lesnar and Punk was excellent.

My only gripes with most of the matches were that they felt short, but they were still at least pretty good. Sandow/Rhodes especially, it was pretty good. Probably the best Cody match i've seen.
His oblivious self-absorbed heel thing he's doing right now is actually pretty funny tbh, but it only really shows in backstage interviews and promos because in the ring he's still a babyface overcoming odds against monster heels
