Has Bray become a ratings draw recently or something? I don't see him or Bryan really increasing network buys.
Bray, not that I know of. But Bryan was one of the if not the best draw on TV from Rumble/EC into his injury.

So Bray contributes little to the network pick up in this scenario? I don't understand his post at all then, surely someone like HHH would do a better network sub increase than Bray.

Bray could be a big draw (he's been working with Cena since the Rumble) but I honestly don't know.

Bit of a toss up for me as well.
Personally I gotta go with HHH as having the highest ceiling as far as potential for ratings draws and network buys.

Offtopic: Another "cheap" way to potentially get buys is do a promotion sending out a WWE Shotglass with your favorite superstar on it or promotion logo and give it to any new customers I mean honestly the PPVs being included are sweet and all but there's gonna be a little bit more needed in order to get some network orders flowing.

Hunter or Orton winning the title would just kill the "new era" feel to the product. Neither of them should interact with Bryan again because that's what we've seen constantly for the last year. They want Network buys? Imagine how anticipated Wyatt (c) v Bryan, in his 1st match back from injury, would be at SummerSlam.

It wouldn't take away from the feeling of a new era. It's not like he'd be going on another "reign of terror" championship run from 2003 or something. Hunter's main purpose on the show nowadays is to put over the newer stars, and he'd only be keeping the championship for a very short period before dropping it to Bryan. And nothing against Wyatt, but if we're going purely by what would attract more buys for the Network, then Hunter would certainly be the better choice. HHH and Bryan in their respective feuds have been drawing the best television ratings since the post-Wrestlemania period began.

Plus, you have to know HHH will get one last title run (even a short one) at some point. The Rock did and Lesnar will eventually too, so capitalizing on Hunter's current run as a heel at this moment and time would make sense.

They can't give Wyatt the belt after this Cena feud. No freaking way.

The ideal scenario here is the Authority will just give the belt to someone (preferably Triple H awarding himself the belt lol) so Bryan can go back into the "chasing the belt" role. But would it work as well the second time? We were mostly captivated by him winning the belt at Wrestlemania but for you to turn around so quickly and do the same angle again? That's pretty lame. Learn from TNA's GM nonsense.

They could give Wyatt the belt.... if Evolution's next targets just happen to be the Wyatt Family.

The same scenario would not work again as far as the Authority vs Bryan angle.... it was drawn out a little too long the first time, I could only imagine the response from the IWC and the people attending the events. It would not be positive... toward the authority or Bryan.

Now, if they do take the belt... it should be put around the waist of a person noone would ever think of.... who?... I don't know... hopefully it will be a great shock to everyone... the WWE universe needs to be woken up by something unexpected.

I'd just do:
- Payback: Wyatt vs. Cena ends in a draw due to double countout
- MITB: Wyatt wins the titles in the ladder match
- Battleground: Wyatt (c) defeats Cena due to interference (set up Cena's summer angle)
- SummerSlam: Bryan defeats Wyatt (c) in his return match

Fuck revisiting Evolution vs Bryan.

Why does Bryan need the belt back? He had his little run
