Well that is interesting. 

Suppose the most obvious turn of events is now to have AJ win the rumble and go after Lesnar at mania. 

Bryan vs face Miz will also be good IF the crowd gets behind face Miz. His last face turn was a horrible diluted version of himself that set his career back about 5 years but he's improved massively since then.

I can only assume that they hotshotted Bryan once they found out about Becky.  There seems no other reason to suddenly do this a few days away from Survivor Series than to try and give the fans something they want.  Why they decided to do it by turning him heel...well that's WWE for you.

Shiter about Becky though.  Certainly looked like it must've been Nia Jax that clocked her, so imagine she'll be receiving a bit of heat for that.  I wonder if they'll just delay things though - give Charlotte vs Rousey the exhibition feel on Sunday, then have Rousey vs Becky at TLC, even give it the main event.  Makes the show that much bigger, and they can properly build to what would be an incredible match.

EDIT: Just watched the clip of the Bryan match, looked like he didn't quite like the mixed reaction he got for winning, so decided to really cement it.  Still not convinced he's going to get a heel reaction though, particularly on Sunday.

Aye. He's a surefire babyface on Sunday. Clearly a heel though and given that The Miz faceturn is apparently coming, it's clear where they're going. They're basically deciding to c**t up two popular characters because they don't know how to deal with their bigger names, and they haven't done for about 15 years.

Even look at Becky Lynch's drop out. Could have been another huge moment for her character, and she drops out with a bit of a whimper. They're clueless.

Could they have taken the title off Styles for him to be part of the Mixed Match Challenge final at TLC?

Perhaps not, just seen he has been replaced by Jeff Hardy. Why would they chuck a DB title win away on Smack Down then?

The Becky thing is should go as follows:

Drops title due to concussion. She never lost it. She stays strong. 

Spends weeks out. 

Gets a chance at Rumble and wins.

Goes after Rousey so transfers to Raw. But leathers Jax on the way for putting her on the shelf and forcing her to relinquish. 

Wins at Mania. 

 

Like Austin when he fucked his neck up and had to give up the IC belt... he then won it back, relinquished it and went after the big one. If they book it correctly, they'll have the crowd rabid for a Beckley title change at mania. 

They won't though. Of course they won't.

Is her injury that bad though?  If they were forced to do it, fair enough, but can't see them keeping her on the shelf that long.  It would be a wonderful story though if they were forced down that road.

I'm just hoping they're delaying rather than cancelling.  Put Becky/Rousey at TLC and put it in the main event.  f**k the brand split, there's no-one on either roster that deserves to take the title off either of them, so just have them face each other.
