The thing I'm most interested in isn't even up there and that's the start of the build for Cena and Bryan's WWE Title match.
We know the Bella twins are gonna get involved, but the question is, how much emphasis are they gonna put on that compared with what the main focus of the feud should be, which is building up to that special moment when Bryan finally completes his journey from wrestling in the Indies (and in high school gyms, from what I've seen) to winning the most coveted prize in all of wrestling? There's a lot of interesting things they could do for this feud like having Vince doubt Bryan's ability to truly defeat "his guy" John Cena, the man who has represented his company for nearly the past decade. You could have Triple H talking about how he believes that anyone with the right determination can eventually rise to the top. You could have Shawn Michaels make an appearance on Raw on the go home show and tell him that this is it, this is the moment that Bryan's whole career has been building towards, which all started from the very moment that Michaels himself started training Bryan way back when. HBK could recant what achieving the "boyhood dream" at Wrestlemania 12 felt like and how Bryan has the chance of a lifetime to do the same this Sunday by defeating one of the greatest of all time to become WWE Champion. He could also warn him of how tough of an opponent John Cena is as well.
I'm just hoping that the Bella Hoes and the whole soap opera aspect of them being involved and each taking the side of "their man" isn't the main thing that the feud revolves around. I'm pretty certain it won't be because I don't see how they could build an entire program over just that for the next four Raw episodes.
I can't see it just being about the Bellas. No way. They can't take the spotlight completely off Bryan and Cena. Obviously they're high on Bryan and want him to succeed, and they definitely know exactly what they have in him. Crossing fingers that they get the storytelling right and keep it simple though. Sure they can use the McMahons for a rub as long as they don't overshadow this at all. Great call with Michaels, hope he'll be out there.
The Bellas can go catfight and plug Total Divas in their own segment we can all happily mute.
Either way, the 5-Point Preview made me less excited for Raw.
-Lesnar and Punk should be good, but will it be a letdown after last week?
-What will Big Show do? Will he stay heel? Will he set up some young talent he can job to?
-Is Mark Henry really face, and what will change about him?
-CENA AND BRYAN!
-Will Bray Wyatt get the mic, and will Kane appear?
