I am such a fan of this feud so far. I thought both promos last night were extraordinary, and I know people will hate on Cena's "same old shit" but I thought his promo was great too. The build has been great as it has so many factors.
You have Bryan's underdog factor, but is on a hot streak, so the match is unpredictable. You have his look not being what WWE wants, so he's almost in a feud with Cena AND the company. It mixes in wonderfully with the McMahon feud. You have Orton as a factor because of his briefcase and now his involvement in the actual feud (RKO'ing Cena, letting them get beaten up by Shield). You have Cena against a fan favourite which doesn't happen often (face vs face seems rare now'adays).
It's being given tons of time as you expect in a Cena feud, but most of it is benefiting Bryan. You can tell WWE is really trying to push this guy to the top, as they did with CM Punk. That doesn't mean I think he's winning, I just think WWE want him in the same league as the Cena's, Orton's, and CM Punk's of WWE. I dunno, I'm just pleasantly surprised with how well they're booking this atm.
I rate it a solid 9 but expect people to think I'm being too kind. It's not a 10 for me because the one thing I'd change is Bryan actually showing he's a fantastic wrestler by putting Vince McMahon in the YES lock, as it looks pretty crappy when this old guy is shitting on you so much. But yeah, anyway, what do you think?
