After watching The Shield turn on Kane, what are the chances Kane aligns himself with the Wyatts? I would like to see the John Cena vs Bray Wyatt WM30 match morph into Kane plus the Wyatts vs John Cena plus Kane at WM30 in a War Games type match. There just seems to be unfinished business between the Wyatts and The Shield. The Wyatts are up 2-0 over The Shield. It would be a shame for this feud to be over without culmination at WM30.

There definitely is unfinished business with the groups. With Bray Wyatt out of the mix, it would not shock me to see Kane join the Wyatts against The Shield. He needs a match and they could use a third. With a few weeks left before the show, I don't see what else they can do with either group at this point so this makes perfect sense.

Why aren't WWE salaries publicized like the NFL or MLB?

The talent is not unionized for one. They do their deals and if it gets out, Vince McMahon knows where the information came from. That isn't the case in the mainstream sports. And in the NFL, with the salary cap, the salaries have to be public knowledge. In baseball, they pay excise taxes if they are over a certain amount so they must be known too.

Any chance that CM Punk could leave WWE once his contract expires and make one final ROH run? It'd be nice to see him go where he truly had his first national run and see him potentially face AJ, or even re-unite with Colt and face the Briscos. He's got a lot to gain, from a talent perspective, to make another run.

I never say never but I really doubt it. Like Chris Jericho has said many times, when you reach the top in WWE, why go anywhere else? I think if Punk is going to work, it will probably be for WWE or nowhere else.

With the money WWE has made off of ECW reunions and actually bringing the brand back a few years ago, have they ever given any thought to a potential WCW reunion show? Especially if they do manage to sign Sting, and already have Hogan and can easily bring back Flair, Nash, DDP, Hall to just accompany Nash to the ring, Booker T and many more. How much interest could a one-off Clash of the Champions special on the Network generate?

The problem is those guys are OLD. The ECW guys are old now too, but they weren't almost a decade ago. And the WCW audience is that much further removed from when the company went under in 2001. It is just too late to do it now in my opinion.

Okay, I agree that with how white hot Daniel Brian is right now, having him win the belt at Wrestlmania(he WILL be in it without a doubt) and giving him a run with it is the best course of action. However... what do you think of the idea of Batista winning the belt at Mania? Yes, with Bryan getting shafted so many times, it's probably not a good idea to do it again. But look at Batista right now, the fans hate him as much as they love Daniel Bryan. I haven't seen so much heat on a heel in WWE since The Ruthless Aggression Era and Vickie Guerrero doesn't count. Sure he's a heel because of the fans' backlash, but that doesn't mean the boos are going away because of his turn. Imagine using Mania to take that hate to the next level. Plus, having it end with a bad guy winning is pretty unexpected. Yes, Bryan winning it all is the best thing WWE can do now, but would Batista winning really be a bad idea?

Yes, yes it would. Batista's reaction has not been good since he has come back. He is not The Rock so his return didn't mean as much. And frankly, if Mania ends with anything other than Bryan winning the WWE Title the fans will not be happy and will probably revolt. This is WWE's biggest show of the year. The right thing to do is to give the fans what they have been waiting for and want to see. There's no reason to get cute. The visual of Bryan celebrating as confetti falls from the top of the Superdome is a WWE moment people will remember for a lifetime. It needs to be done.
