WWE: 10 Steps To Booking Evolution In Their New Run
4. Going After Bryan Again
Coming off the Reigns feud and heading into Autumn, Evolution should go after Daniel Bryan again. As popular as the babyface star is, he needs great heels to work with, Evolution would represent that for Bryan. To save face for the Reigns loss, Hunter should the next night on Raw target Bryan and take the WWE Champion out. Make the beatdown so severe that the next week on Raw, Bryan demands revenge, he wants a match with Hunter so badly he will put his title on the line. "You want it, you got it," Hunter replies, "but it won't be me you're facing, it'll be Batista!" What that achieves is it doesn't give the face what he wants, it extends the feud further so Hunter can work with Bryan at the PPV after next. It also creates a compelling Batista vs Bryan match which we all want to see. It would be another opportunity to elevate Bryan, he overcomes Batista, going on to face Hunter at the next PPV. Winning that match too will be another reinforcement in Daniel Bryan's status as a main event guy.
