Top Contenders For Bryan's Championship

     In less than two weeks Bryan will be facing Kane at Extreme Rules for the WWE World Heavyweight championship. More than likely Bryan will retain the title so the question is who will he face after Kane. Let's take a look at some of the people who deserve title shots.

Randy Orton
      Randy Orton is still due a rematch for the championship after losing it at Wrestlemania. However depending on how long Evolution will be feuding with the Shield, Randy might not get his rematch. The two have faced off many time already so I don't want a long feud between the two but I wouldn't mind one more match between the two.

Brock Lesnar
      After ending the streak, Brock Lesnar is more than worthy of a championship match. Even though it is a very big mismatch it would still probably be an awesome match. This can be the Authority's way of getting the title off of Bryan. I think Lesnar can be a great Summerslam opponent for Bryan. Lesnar can take the title off of Bryan and lose it at Wrestlemania to someone like Roman Reigns or another up and coming superstar.
Bray Wyatt 
     Bray Wyatt beat Bryan at the Royal Rumble cleanly so he can use that to say that he deserves a title shot. The two had a great match at the Royal Rumble so another match between the two can great. As good as Wyatt is I don't think he should hold the title just yet but giving Bryan a hard match can elevate Wyatt and can give Bryan a win over Wyatt.
Triple H
     Their match at Wrestlemania was great and the feud leading up to it was also great. Triple H is probably the best heel in the company right now and Bryan is the best face so the two facing off only makes sense. As of now the plans seem to be for Triple H and Roman Reigns to face off at Summerslam so Triple H can have a match with Bryan where Reigns costs Triple H the match. Having Bryan go over Triple H twice will be great for Bryan.

Was Brock Lesnar Beating the Streak a Good Idea?

It has been more than a week since the streak came to an end at the hands of Brock Lesnar. Many people have mixed feelings about the streak ending with most of the feedback being negative. However, is the streak coming to an end as bad as people make it out to be?
People have different opinions about whether or not the streak should have ever been broken. I personally thought the streak should have ended. The other thing people have different opinions on is if someone up and coming or someone established should have ended the streak. I was on the side of having someone established end the streak because if someone up and coming were to end the streak we never know what would happen to him. If something were to happen to him it would cause the ending of the streak to be pointless.
Let's start with the build-up to the match. The build-up was bad. It did nothing to make anyone think that the streak could possibly end and did a bad job at making Lesnar look like a credible threat to the streak. Most of the build-up had Undertaker getting the upper hand on Lesnar. There were plenty of ways that the build-up could have been better. However no matter how good the build-up was people still would have given Brock no chance of winning which is probably why WWE didn't put much effort into the the build-up.
According to many people not only was the build-up bad but so was the match. Although I don't think it was as bad as some people say I do think the match was boring. So did the crowd that was mostly dead throughout the match. The dead crowd showed that the people were certain that Undertaker would win the match. So the shock of Brock actually winning was huge.
When the referee made the three count you could just see the shock on the face of every fan in attendance. The streak had been broken.
The shock of the streak ending would have been there no matter what, even if we knew it would be Takers last match. This match was more about the shock than it was about the match. Even though that is not a good thing it accomplished its mission.
Although I am not completely in love with Brock beating the streak I am okay with it. If Undertaker does come back and wrestles once again he can do it without the pressure of the streak.  If he doesn't come back to wrestle I am not to happy that this was his last feud. The Undertaker deserves to have a great match to end his career.
Brock wrestles more than Undertaker so he will probably lose more matches than Undertaker going forward. Which means people who beat the guy who beat the streak will get much more credibility. I don't think Lesnar beating the streak was a great idea but I think it was a good one.
