Pre-Show Stalwart
I can come up with better Monday Night Raw and Smackdown episodes than this PPV. A PPV built to be this epic unification match, which typically needs a build to get some legs under it.
I mean... who the hell knows what's going to happen after this debacle.
You put Punk over the Shield, the most over group in the company, and have the most over guy in the company in Daniel Bryan lose to the Wyatt Family.
...how does any of this make sense?
Punk/Shield was done to further establish dissent within the group that WWE has been hinting at for the past month and a half while giving Punk some legs to stand on for what will probably be his inevitable insertion back into the title picture against Orton.
Bryan/Wyatts was to establish the Wyatts as a dominant heel force with a major victory over a popular face, either to make them the top heels once the Authority is finally beaten or to make Daniel Bryan's inevitable triumph against them so much sweeter.
