So not too many times in the WWE does the WWE title become vacant with "no champion".
We have had the Wrestlemania 4 tournament for the title, an event some love or hate, end of the day it made Randy Savage famous and ended with one of the more famous moments in WWE history with Savage, Liz and the newly designed WWF championship, on top of the magical 4 wins in one night.
In 1992 we had the legendary Royal Rumble with Ric Flair winning the WWF championship.
In 1997 after HBK "lost his smile", it was In Your House 13 with the "Final Four" for the vacant WWF championship in a unique style 4 man elimination match.
In 1998 we had the Deadly Game at Survivor Series with the tournament for the vacant WWF title won by the Rock with his shocking heel turn joining Mcmahon and Mcmahon screwing Foley, maybe not the most famous event, but still a big deal for the Attitude era.
In 1999 Vince won the WWF title, but the belt went vacant for the very underrated Six-Pack Challenge match at Unforgiven with Triple H, Rock, Bulldog, Big Show, Kane, and Mankind.
So with those 5 events in WWE history where the WWE belt was vacant and something unique came from it, do you think WWE dropped the ball by just having Orton vs Bryan at an event with a new name, no real gimmick to the event or vacant title match.
Whats your thoughts on this? How would you of booked this for Raw, Battleground, maybe have the belt stay vacant past a month?
Could WWE of done a one night tournament? Maybe a one night battle royal, or a one night Six-Pack challenge or maybe bring back the Championship Scramble, or put the belt on the line in a Ladder match. Do something to give the belt to a new face, maybe finally push Ziggler, Ryback, get the belt back on Punk, maybe a surprise return who knows. But what would you of liked booked, or do you think WWE didn't fail at just going with Orton vs Bryan II (when actually its about the 6th time they have faced one on one this year, given the summer feud they had).
