How WWE goofed up Daniel Bryan and CM Punk's storylines
Back on August 18th, 2013 WWE came up with one of the most successful and entertaining PPV’s of the year – SummerSlam. Two matches stole the limelight during the event, they were Brock Lesnar vs CM Punk and John Cena vs Daniel Bryan. These two matches gave an idea on how WWE were planning their story lines going ahead.
But seven months down the line, everything has gone down hill for two superstars involved in these matches and the WWE too has faced a lot of flak for their decisions. Lets look at what could have possibly gone wrong.
Brock Lesnar vs CM Punk
Termed as “the Best vs the Beast”, this match was a classic, all out brawl between two top class superstars present today in the WWE. This match should have won the Slammy award for the match of the year, but this match wasn’t even nominated in the category! And the award disappointingly went to John Cena vs The Rock at Wrestlemania 29.
Following the match CM Punk was hot as fire, despite loosing the match. This was the opportune time to give him a push, but the WWE chose to put him in a feud with Curtis Axel and Ryback instead. From here on, all CM punk did was wrestle against the “Paul Heyman Guys” on multiple occasions.
Once CM Punk was done with Paul Heyman and his guys, he was pitted against the Wyatts, this time he had Daniel Bryan for company. This was much more exciting for Punk and the WWE fans at large as this saw two of the most successful indy wrestlers coming together to form a team.
But then for some strange reason, WWE decided to break this team by introducing the Shield into the fray. It now became Bray Wyatt vs Daniel Bryan and The Shield Vs CM punk. After this move by the WWE, CM Punk’s career went down hill, from a top superstar to a mid card guy.
As a result of this frustration of being relegated to the mid card Punk has walked out of the WWE. This incident has garnered a lot of negativity towards the WWE management and the way they are handling some of the superstars.
