Of course a kayfabe injury that keeps the briefcase from being cashed in would be GREAT! It'd lead to a lengthy reign by Punk, keep Cena off TV and allow Punk to fill that void that WWE Television will have. It'll add speculation as to who can really beat THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

Who other than the Deadman, at WrestleMania? The only other unbeaten streak in existence, aside from, at that point, CM Punk's WWE Championship defense streak (which would be over 15 months by then)

WM29 comes around, Punk reverses an Old School into a GTS, gets tombstoned twice, Taker wins, but here comes the blacked out Cena, cashes in, heel turn, new champion, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT for Cena that we haven't seen since he was repackaged as Mr. WWE.

Bbbbbbuuutttt all of that falls on deaf ears because the WWE couldn't pull it off.

Or maybe they could, but they wouldn't want to risk not having their only draw be on TV.

Because "nobody else draws like Cena"

And that's because A.) Cena is left handed. And B.) the WWE doesn't build their lower-card talent.

Not even with a 3 hour weekly Raw.

Is that Evan Bourne I hear? Or John Morrison!?
 
As Ellye said, it's starting to drag on. Weddings never go through, but i'm not sure how it will be interrupted.

It's nothing AJ or Bryan has done wrong, the storyline has just been milked to its end. Time for AJ to tell Bryan she is moving on. I don't want to see AJ go away, because she has the potential to make a storyline a few steps more intresting

The only way I want the wedding to go through, is if the love story is over, and now we have a Edge-Lita 2.0

Maybe the Dean Ambrose pick comes true (He has to debut eventually), but if we're being honest, with the HUGE 1000th Raw planned, the wedding is really the last thing i'm thinking about
 
There's no point for the WWE to keep repeating this same story line. The WWE wants to put AJ over as this love-driven crazed chick, ala... Daffney, but with more heart.

The storyline could've taken 5438270890 different turns than this one, that could've accomplished that, not made Daniel Bryan look like a bearded heart throbbing teen, and still put AJ over as psycho.

This is WWE's way of saying 'we screwed up'. Punk isn't even involved anymore. Nothing that happened 4 months ago matters anymore, and having the wedding get inturrupted by some special guest return is just WWE's way of wiping their hands clean of this storyline, so they can build Punk/Cena without, gosh, trying to balance two storylines at once for one character.

*thumbs way down*.

Thumbs down two weeks ago for AJ even proposing.
 
I wonder how much real interaction there is going to be on next week's 1000th RAW

DX, Undertaker, The ROck, Bret Hart (i think), Brock Lesnar, all in the same building as Jericho, Cena, Big Show, Punk, Miz, Ziggler. Yet i bet WWE just separates everyone throughout the show

assuming Brock will come out during DX opening statement. maybe Undertaker too?? The Rock at the end during/after Cena/Punk main event

maybe a 3 min Bret Hart vs Heath Slater "match"?? just for heck of it . Have Slater come out and claim hes best there is, best .........something silly like that and then Hart's music hits.

Jericho vs Ziggler (which should be a fantastic match)

i have a feeling Kane comes out during the AJ/Daniel Bryan "wedding"
(predictable)

we know Christian will be defending IC title, my guess is vs Tensai or Cody Rhodes

that about covers it ??
 
So the wedding next week is very "meh" to me, thought that angle was done and time to develop all 3 of the characters involved separately but oh well.

Aj& D-Bry to be on The Peep Show this Smackdown, I expect altercation to occur resulting in

Christian defending against D-bry on the 1000th raw. Maybe D-bry slips up and shows he cares more for a chance at IC title than AJ, she realizes he doesn't love her so it ends? Please for the love of god, do not have Kane interrupt yet ANOTHER wedding :banghead:

That said: Was never a fan of DX as I started watching in 2004 or so, so when I saw DX it was a bunch of middle aged men making fart and cock jokes :shrug: So good to know I don't have to request off work early for the first hour.
 
That trick never works!

Just ask Edge. Perhaps the only place worse than daytime soap operas for weddings is pro wrestling. We know this isn't going down without a hitch, but who will interrupt the happy occasion?

Our candidates:

Kane. The only thing Kane loves destroying more than Pete Rose are weddings. Just ask Matt Hardy and Edge. He was involved in the AJ storyline and while he officially washed his hands of the crazy chick, well... he's Kane. If they want to turn Bryan face, Kane's the perfect guy for the job.

The Miz. Could he be bitter about his student's success? You're damn right he could! A Miz-Bryan feud would have a lot of heat behind it, and some of the glances between AJ and Miz tonight could well set this up possibility.

Michael Cole. Bryan's oldest enemy in WWE; Cole's been compimentary for the most part -- but that could be a front. Cole could easily set up something nefarious to break up the wedding.

CM Punk. Tonight Bryan had a face turn, but if this is a swerve, Punk's involvement in the last storyline would make him the perfect guy to reveal that Bryan is two-faced, a la Triple H in Edge's wedding to Vicki. However, he does have a date with Cena, and it may be too much for him to be front and center on two big segments.

Vicki Guerrero. Vicki doesn't like AJ. Her own wedding to Edge was ruined on RAW; what a perfect way to get revenge than to destroy the wedding, perhaps with Eve's help?

Dean Ambrose: Ambrose needs a high profile place to debut. Wouldn't an Ambrose-Bryan feud over AJ be the perfect place for him to start, and what better way than to destroy the wedding?

There's a lot of places this could go, which is great. The wedding itself may have been forced, but I honestly can't predict who's going to stir the pot. I do expect Vicki or Eve to interrupt on Friday.
 
Pretty good list and I would venture a guess that whoever interrupts it will come from this list.

I don't think it will be Kane. He pulled his own name from the mix and I'd say Kane will most likely be involved wit Taker for the 1000th. I could be wrong though, and I am wrong the majority of the time.

Sure, Vickie and AJ have beef, but with Vickie tied up with Ziggler, especially with Dolph's focus on the briefcase now, I wouldn't see the logic in that.

Punk is out of this I'd say, especially with his focus being on keeping his reign alive by preparing to fight Cena that night.

Michael Cole would be likely but WWE has to know that we would not want to see this and what would result out of him crashing the party, it's not like he and Bryan would have an in-ring feud, or AJ would ever be paired with him.

The Miz could actually be a viable option for the reasons you stated.

I know someone tweeted Labar and then Labar ran with the idea, but do we have faith that WWE really would involve Ambrose in this? It seems that his debut is imminent, especially with him deleting his tweets for a "clean slate." But how are we to know that he will debut this way because who knows what creative has in store. Last we knew, he was going to feud with Foley. At least we thought. Now reports say that idea is dropped. Although, that idea was dropped right around the time that the AJ-Bryan-Punk triangle began picking up steam... hmm.. maybe creative found something a little better for Ambrose than Foley. We shall see!
 
I honestly hope there isn't any interference. But if it has to be someone then I would be fine with Ambrose. I just want to see him debut and him with AJ would be a good fit. Plus Bryan needs a new feud.
 
First of all I must express my sheer hatred for weddings on wrestling shows. Fortunately, this one won't be closing the show like some have in the past.

But as the right honourable BigThunder states, wrestling weddings always end in tears, and usually the little chapel set up in the ring gets trashed.

I can honestly say I'm not sure where this one is going; the AJ saga has been one of the most unpredictable storylines this year. I don't know how I'd feel about Bryan turning face again - to be honest I thought his new(ish) ring attire at Money in the Bank harkened a more edgy part of his character, yet the tattered jacket and bloody trunks did not turn up on Raw.

Looking at the candidates, the Miz seems like a good idea for a feud. AJ could go for another crazy chick swerve and say she'd rather date a movie star. The Miz and Bryan have met before over the U.S. title in 2010 and put on some entertaining matches; both guys being a similar height and weight and having styles that gel.

Kane could also work, picking up from their earlier feud, and there's no reason why Kane shouldn't work with someone of Bryan's caliber.

Ambrose, maybe, but are the casuals going to know who he is?

If there was a time to push Antonio Cesaro, then would be an opportune moment by having Cesaro and Aksana interrupt and claim that they were the most important couple in the WWE.
 
I honestly hope there isn't any interference. But if it has to be someone then I would be fine with Ambrose. I just want to see him debut and him with AJ would be a good fit. Plus Bryan needs a new feud.

Correct. Because Punk has seemingly moved on as of the end of his match at MitB. And with Ambrose projected as a heel and what looked like a Bryan face transition tonight, Ambrose/Bryan feud would be a great fit.

I didn't consider many legends that could come back to interrupt though. Does the OP or anyone else have any names that would fit here? What kind of a legend could make it work?
 
Good list!!

When I first read the title my immediate thought was DX. I remember talk on here a while back that Shawn was locked in for the 1000th show and rumours about trying to get Gunn and Dogg. Whilst that would be epic to see DX destroy Bryan's wedding it doesn't really make much sense in the way of building an angle for Bryan/Aj, plus HHH has his confrontation with Lesnar the same night as well.

Therefore looking at your list, I have no idea who this Ambrose fella is but there seems to be a bit of hype with the hardcore wrestling fans so he obviously has talent but for us part timers it may be a waste of a promo initially, but if the feud works it will definitely be a significant starting point.

My money however is on the Miz, as far as the potential feud goes they both have mic skills and can put on a solid match and hopefully build a good feud. I just cant visualize how Miz is going to ruin the wedding, while he does have the SCF to take Bryan out unaware, he doesn't come off as that destructive character. Maybe if Ambrose is the priest (Providing people dont know who he is) conducting the wedding and with the distraction of Miz, Ambrose ambushes Bryan and together they ruin the wedding
 
ive heard a rumor and i know it wnt happen, but a shocker would be a returning at version 2.0, matt hardy. he has been great in fueds when it comes to a lady in the middle. look at the matches he had with jeff hardy and even better kane and even better then that...edge. not to mention if he is clean and back in shape. hardy can be a great technical wrestler when he wants to be
 
I'm thinking there may be a battle royal involving superstars past and present. The winner gets a shot at the IC belt. I can't see Christian defending the belt against a normal guy on the roster. It has to be someone big. Jericho? If they were really careful, Edge? That is a dream and I know it is unrealistic but it could still happen.
 
If there was a time to push Antonio Cesaro, then would be an opportune moment by having Cesaro and Aksana interrupt and claim that they were the most important couple in the WWE.

This would be an enormous step down for Bryan and AJ since Cesaro hasn't even been on TV. Not to mention, if I recall correctly from the front page, he's been jobbing on Superstars.

And why is everyone not bringing up Eve? She's been a part of this story for the last 2 weeks, which is more than anyone else can say besides Punk, who seems to be moving on.
 
Kane. Moved on, wouldn't make sense for him to get involved again.

The Miz. The last time he was in a promo with Bryan he wanted to team with him in the future. Miz teaming with Eve this week might be foreshadowing to him crashing the wedding next week but unlikely.

Michael Cole. He has been supportive of Bryan for quite sometime but yeah, it might be a front or maybe he hates Bryan again for turning face. But I doubt Cole has the ability to crash a wedding, a Cole and Miz coalition could work though.

CM Punk. Moved on, same with Kane. And he has stated time and time again that he wants nothing to do with AJ.

Vicki Guerrero. Doesn't make sense at all. She's busy with Dolph now.

Dean Ambrose: A total mystery, no one knows how or when he will debut so no use guessing this.


I'll add one name to the list...

Daniel Bryan. He could be bitter about AJ costing him the title and plots a revenge against AJ, by playing with her feelings again. Or who knows he might have heard something about AJ that cause him to crash his own wedding, similar to Triple H. I doubt AJ will do so since she has toned down her crazy chick gimmick this week, making Daniel Bryan the more likely one.

In my opinion I'd prefer this wedding goes smoothly without any crashes though. Daniel Bryan is through with Punk so AJ could be an interesting angle for him going forward, and AJ can remain relevant by being with Bryan. Their character needs each other now. And having another wedding crashed is way too predictable, why not do the unthinkable and actually have a successful wedding? This will make it so much more unpredictable in the future.
 
well, I'ma go out on a limb and say Del Rey - the new chick that WWE just signed. She'll come in and then there'll be something between Bryan, Punk, and Del Rey - fighting for affections. Just sayin'
 
I could see Dean Ambrose possibly making his debut to interrupt things and for AJ to suddenly turn on Bryan. I could see AJ revealing that this was all sort of a big plan for her to really get even with Bryan and embarass him on what should be a monumental night for him. A few months back, I read a report saying that new talent would debut on the 1,000th episode of Raw, so this would be a means of giving said new talent a memorable debut and be put in the middle of a high profile feud with a hot star.

I could also see Kane "objecting" to this union. Even though he's been out of the story for about a month, he could easily be worked back in with the story being that he's done little but think about AJ and has developed feelings for her. Bryan vs. Kane could be a fun feud with AJ caught in the middle. Even though having feelings goes against Kane being a "monster", the heart wants what the heart wants.

Given how AJ sort of gave Miz a cheap shot last night, helping to cost him & Eve a victory, I could see him trying to rain on the happy couple's parade a bit.

I wouldn't mind if there wasn't any interruptions next week to be honest. I like the idea of Bryan & AJ being a couple again and I can see them being the new "power couple" of WWE. We haven't really had one of those in a long while and these two have really good chemistry together. AJ's "instability" coupled with this new ruthless side of her that pops up sometimes could make a nice partner for Bryan.

As long as the wedding segment doesn't eat up half the show, it should be interesting.
 
AJ or Bryan will ruin the wedding.

The obvious choice being AJ. I mean think about it the full circle is nearly complete...

Bryan embaresses AJ.
AJ starts looking at Punk and Kane.
Bryan wants AJ.
Finally a proposal happens.

As it's been said weddings don't go smoothly in wrestling so we know it won't be plain sailing.

Imagine that Bryan says "I do" and then it comes down to AJ, the crowd will start a "YES" chant and all it takes is AJ to kick Bryan in the nuts.

Obviously the roles could be turned and Bryan says no to her but what the hell would be the point? He was with her and made her look a fool, he had got rid of her. It makes 0% sense to have him come in to string her along only to do it again?! Especially when he's had title matches since and he's been too concerned over the girl?!

I'm going to say AJ but that after a few guys and girls of the roster may get involved, such as Eve or Kane.
 
Not sure why everyone is mentioning Dean Ambrose. It is pure wishful thinking and makes no sense whatsoever. It would be random as hell but suppose this is WWE creative we are talking about.

Just remember kids, everyone thought Dean Ambrose was for the 'Revolution videos'...:lol:
 
I have my fingers crossed it is Jake The Snake and Undertaker who interupt the wedding.

That would be the Mark Out moment of the century!

I think we initially get Michael Cole sticking his nose in, calling Daniel Bryan a loser and asking AJ why he would marry a guy who got his kicked by Sheamus at WM and Punk in the last few PPVs. This would cement Bryan as a face before the wedding gets fully interrupted by....the Miz.

This sets up Bryan vs the Miz at Summerslam where AJ will turn on Bryan and side with the Miz
 
And why is everyone not bringing up Eve? She's been a part of this story for the last 2 weeks, which is more than anyone else can say besides Punk, who seems to be moving on.

Because I don't believe this is WWE pulling the trigger on a face turn for Daniel Bryan. The only way Eve would make sense of any kind would be if she and Bryan were to leave together. And with AJ and Bryan just getting back together yesterday, I don't see them breaking up for a second time next week. However, I dont think the wedding will go off without a hitch, either.

It seems apparent WWE is going to transition Daniel Bryan out of the main event scene, at least for the time being. And that's fine. He has all the makings of a Chris Jericho, someone who can be thrust into main event feuds seemlessly, but not a full-time main-eventer. So who's the perfect person to interrupt the wedding at this point? If you blinked, you may have missed Michael Cole's announcement before the Big Show/CM Punk match as to the segment now scheduled for Smackdown, which will be AJ and Bryan on the Peep Show with Christian.

I really, despite Bryan's popularity, don't see them going with a double turn here. Bryan is so much better as the masogynist who, while he may treat AJ decent for awhile, will never truly treat AJ as an equal. But he'll have her hooked enough, with the character that she plays, that treating her well most of the time will be good enough. Who better to call Bryan out on this, especially given his past with Jericho in the Trish and Lita storyline, then Christian?

I think the Peep SHow on Smackdown will set up something fun for Monday, with Christian perhaps interrupting the wedding. He won't make AJ "see the light", or break them up, but it will be enough to set up what will make for a seemless transition into the upper-mid-card for Bryan in a feud against Christian, perhaps at Summerslam for the IC Title. In a case such as this, I hope that it's Christian, because I'll take a feud between two great workers and two good talkers for a title anytime.

So based on the announcement of Christian hosting the Peep Show on Friday, unless someone interrupts that, my money is on Christian.
 
I've thought about this all night...Well, what if we see a group of people interfere?

How about having random guys like Edge come out and say why he needs to marry her (Like Edge could use his relationship w/ Lita to explain his success)

and you could have your group of guys like The Miz say they shouldn't get married because Daniel Bryan knows he doesn't deserve her (I really want to see a Miz-Bryan feud)

Being the 1000th episode of Raw, I don't feel like it matters who comes out. Anybody can come out and it doesn't even have to make sense due to the fact that Kane and CM Punk are done with it as far as storyline is concerned
 
Just recieved a tweet from CM Punk saying he wants Jim Ross to call their match next Monday and asking Cena to let's make it happen

https://twitter.com/cmpunk/status/225118017602863104

The question I have for you is. Do you want JR to call Cena vs Punk 3 or are you comfortable with Cole calling it.

Me I want the best I want JR. Jim Ross needs to call this match if something big happens (if) I want JR's voice to sell it. Besides this is the 1000th RAW who else to call the WWE Title match
 
i hope there's no interference, but if we do get some, have it be someone new, not old. in other words Dean Ambrose or even call up someone from NXT like Seth Rollins and have them have AJ. as for your choices. agree Ambrose could do it, but i would be more shocked if it happened, i do NOT see it being CM Punk or Guerrero as they have other feuds now, Kane also makes little sense. that leaves Miz and Cole and really both would be dull to interfere in a wedding. Miz and Bryan have feuded already and plus, i think people want Miz to move on to other things. i personally want to see him feud with Sheamus. As for Cole, that would just be stupid as no one wants to see Cole interfere in a wedding and the last thing i want to see is a Bryan and Cole feud. i want Bryan to either move to the world title (and win it) or have a fresh feud that could put on more show stealing matches.

I hope this happens. I really see Punk turning Heel at this point. I personally don't care whether he is Face or Heel because he is damn fun to watch. But last night when Cena told him he is taking the Championship I got this little pull that said something. JR calling Punks turn would be historic to call. I have gave up on the Cena turn after nothing happened with The Rock but that wouldn't be bad either.
