When Triple H & Stephanie McMahon said Daniel Bryan could be the new Face of WWE if he beat Randy Orton, they probably didn’t expect him to actually win. Now The Authority has some uncomfortable decisions to make. With Orton finding new reasons to complain every week & Bryan making good on his promises, might The Authority actually consider making Bryan the Face of WWE?
It’s been about a month since the WWE Universe last saw Mark Henry, whose elbow was dislocated & fractured by Brock Lesnar. Now that The World’s Strongest Man is all healed up & ready to go, who will be the first to check-in to the reopened Hall of Pain?
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton, under orders from The Authority has to face each of his Elimination Chamber opponents in single matches. Orton so far is one for one, losing to Daniel Bryan on RAW & beating Christian on SmackDown. Up next for Orton is John Cena. Cena has never quite repaid Orton for beating up his father. Will the payback be to much for the Apex Predator to stand?
Kane attacked Daniel Bryan after his win over Randy Orton last Monday on RAW & cost him a match against Antonio Cesaro on SmackDown. Will RAW bring about another confrontation between Kane & Bryan? Safe to say hugging it out wont fix their problems this time around.

There was talk at Monday’s RAW that Alberto Del Rio is making noise about leaving WWE once his contract expires.
Del Rio has been frustrated due to going from a top guy on the SmackDown brand to someone who is fed to Batista. There’s a feeling among that with Del Rio already having talked about retirement, his age and the fact that he had success in Mexico, maybe it’s time for him to leave and be happy rather than hang on.
There is no word yet if Del Rio has started working on a new contract but there is at least some concern over his future after the talk at RAW on Monday night.
Randy Orton was told to hurry through his promo and deliver it faster than usual at the beginning of last night’s RAW, likely to combat the CM Punk chants or any hijacking by the crowd.
WWE tried to ensure Batista would be cheered at last night’s RAW in Omaha by having him cut a localized promo before he came out for the segment with Alberto Del Rio. The promo aired while RAW was on commercial. Batista talked about how he was a big fan of baseball and the College World Series, which is hosted in Omaha.
WWE announced that Mark Henry will be returning next week on RAW.
