WWE Stomping Grounds: 10 Things That Must Happen

9. Daniel Bryan & Rowan Get Brutal

This is the kind of match made to close out Kickoff shows.

Sure, that sounds harsh, but does anyone really buy into the idea of Heavy Machinery beating Daniel Bryan and Rowan on Sunday? This is what was meant by "souped up house shows" in the intro; if this match happened on a non-televised live event tour, that'd be fine, but pay-per-view? Hmm. Not so sure.

Still, there's a chance to build something for Extreme Rules by having Bryan and his big buddy shed their self-righteousness and (just like any good wrestling heel) prove themselves to be hypocrites. Bryan has been busy talking himself up as a pure wrestler who cares for the environment, and that's why he should be a cheating piece of sh*t who then instructs Rowan to bash Otis and Tucker with steel chairs post-match.

Then, maybe WWE can make something of this humdrum feud by booking a stipulation on 14 July. That Extreme Rules card is bout to be packed with gimmicks anyway, and lord only knows this mini-feud needs one if it's going to continue beyond Sunday.
