This sums it up nicely. To me it seems like th WWE higher ups were expecting the crowd to welcome Dave back with open arms. It's like they thought he was on the level of Rock or Austin or Taker or something. Um big wake up call.
Dave's return was luke warm at best. There was a pop when his music hit but that died out quick.
Dave won the royal rumble and has been booed heavily ever since. HA!
Just shows how out of touch WWE is with the fans these days. The fans are into the future; D. Bryan, CM Punk, Reigns etc. Not these has beens that come in and just steal the spotlights and collect a check.
Anyway, I really think Orton vs Batista is going to happen. WWE most likely brought Dave back with promises of a fat paycheck, a title win at WM, and a title run after. But it looks like Dave is going to have to play the heel champion fueding with D. Bry.
Here is what I would like to see at WM.
HHH vs Bryan opens the show. HHH doesn't see DB as a threat (B+ player you know) and just wants to get it over with and ge back to his "important" work. Match goes 20 minutes DB make HHH tap.
Orton vs Batista ends WM. Crowd is crapping all over it like at RR. Dave wins, crowd boos more. Dave runs his mouth to the crowd. on and on. Daniel Bryans music hits, he runs down and confronts Batista. They trade words, Dave swings and misses, Daniel lays him out with the knee knocking him out of the ring. Daniel stands tall in the ring with the belts leading a massive YES chant. Sets up next night on RAW and the future fued for the title.
I think D Bry taking the title off Batista would be a huge moment for the fans.
It sets up Bryan vs Batista very nicely for Extreme Rules in their hometown of Washington.
BUT WM30 will not be headlined by heel vs heel. Someone is going to make this a triple threat.
