Come on, 95% of wrestling is predictable. We're getting mad at it NOW? Most of us get most of our predictions right at every ppv(I'd say 80% at least), ffs. Hell, Taker is 100% guaranteed to win at Mania every single year, yet we all love it regardless.

I'm not mad, lol. It's just what I knew would happen. Oh well.

Some of you guys can never be happy. Like it or not, original or not, let's review what just happened.

(1) Daniel Bryan beat Cena clean. He took his best moves and won. He kicked out of the AA, got out of the STF, and still won.
(2) Daniel Bryan is the most over face in the WWE. Not just one of the most over. When the shock wears off, 100% of the WWE face-loving universe (which is approximately 80% of WWE fans), along with the majority of the non-face-loving WWE universe, will be 100% behind Daniel Bryan. The number 2 face is once again CM Punk, who was probably just a little more over after his match against Lesnar earlier in the evening. This cements DBD as the number one face while Cena's away and gives him a leg up on Cena when he returns.
(3) Randy Orton has finally turned heel. This was, by definition, a phantom turn as it will cause Orton to behave in no way differently.
(4) We once again have a true heel authority figure in HHH. The Attitude Era gave us Stone Cold vs. Vince. Now, we have Daniel Bryan vs. HHH (I know, Bryan's no Stone Cold...bullshit argument...sorry if that offends you, but it's the truth...come at me with something stronger than that).
(5) And, for the most imprtant part, WWE is giving us a compelling storyline with a strong hero and a strong villain. We have a good guy we can root for and who we believe can beat anybody and a bad guy who we'll love to hate and who we believe can beat anybody. This is what's called Storytelling 101.

In short, relax, boys and girls. This is how you construct a story.

And, for a nice change, it's actually looking like it could be an entertaining one.
