With Cena almost certainly headlining Wrestlemania as WWE Champion, with the rumors of CM Punk winning the Royal Rumble and headlining Wrestlemania, and with Daniel Bryan almost certainly winning the MITB briefcase which allows him to challenge for the WWE Championship at any time over the next year, does anyone think there is a possibility of seeing John Cena vs CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan for the WWE Title in a triple threat match?
Daniel Bryan said in 2011 when he won the MITB case that he was gonna wait until Wrestlemania to cash in, but he didn't. When/if he wins the case this year, maybe he reminds us of this fact and says that this time, he is being quite genuine when he says he is waiting until the big 30th anniversary of Wrestlemania before cashing in and finally becoming WWE Champion. Meanwhile, you can simultaneously play CM Punk's role in the story, which is that his big dream is to headline Wrestlemania (especially after coming off a most-likely-victory over Brock Lesnar) and he earns this chance by winning the Rumble. And then there's WWE Champion John Cena's role right there in the middle, who (if Bryan really doesn't cash in this summer) will have been champion literally for a year.
I know there's arguments against this. The fact that it's improbable that the headline match will be a triple threat between three baby faces (though Cena will be hated enough to play the 'heel' in the sense that he'll be the least favorite in the match, especially if he keeps the title all year until then.) There's the fact that Bryan wouldn't be cashing in for several months, which means not capitalizing on Bryan when he's at his hottest. There's the fact that if Punk is to finally achieve his dream of main eventing Wrestlemania, surely it's only right to have it end with Punk winning the belt? It creates a weird situation where both Punk and Bryan winning makes sense but both can't happen, obviously. It also creates an unpredictable scenario too, though.
Anyway, I normally would say this wasn't the most probable main event but the rumors say Punk is winning the Rumble and headlining WM, which makes me think a bit, and besides which, who else will Cena fight? Rock again? No, WM29 didn't do the buy rate that WM28 did with the rematch and so a third match would draw even less. Lesnar? No. The outcome to that is too obvious and wouldn't really draw more than another Rock match. Undertaker? That's one many of us want to see, but it's only speculated at this point, the only heavily rumored match for next year is Rock/Lesnar. What else? No, one of The Shield members is not getting the rocket push that fast. Cena/Punk/Bryan isn't so improbable, especially when he just had the shitty Cena/Miz main event a couple of years ago.
Thoughts?
