Does Daniel Bryan have a chance at Summerslam?

Pretty simple question really. Do you think he can beat John Cena for the WWE Title at Summerslam?

No

I'm not sure

I said no straight away but then remember somebody posting on the mitb feedback that there's a chance he could only for orton to cash in on him which is something I could see happening

cena hasnt been champ long enough

I'd say it's 60/40 in Cena's favour but Bryan is the man of the moment, he's ridiculously over. I've just got a feeling he might actually beat Cena clean with a roll up or something, I don't know why. I do expect Cena to win though and if he does i'd like him to win via the STF with Bryan refusing to tap and passing out which makes him look a crazy badass.

I don't think he will but think there could be an outside chance of Bryan winning and Orton cashing in.

A 3 way fued between Orton/Bryan/Cena over the Autumn over the next few PPV's potentially ending at Survivor Series.

When Cena won the title at Mania i was expecting him to keep it until at least RR , but Bryan is so over right now i really think there is a chance he could take the title .
I don't however then see Orton doing a straight away cash in as what would be the point of giving the belt to Bryan ? , unless of course Bryan then beat Orton as well

Legitimate reason for being part of a three way fued over the coming months? Champion rematch clause and all, as Cena would have one as well.

I'd rather just have it as Bryan v Cena to be honest i don't think Orton brings anything to it  , it would be better having him hovering in the back ground threatening a cash in

I see 2 options, either Cena wins and beats Bryan clean and that's that

Or Bryan wins and Orton cashes in straight after, either way i don't see Bryan leaving Summer Slam as WWE Champion.

I'll literally Poopie my pants with glee if he makes Cena tap, then Orton cashes in, and he makes him tap aswell.

A guy can dream...

Hall of Fame moment right there.

Why not just do it, Bryan would be a huge wrestling star off the back of that.

Probably just so they have a triple threat fued. If the WHC will be a singles fued.

They need to test the water with a Cena replacement sooner or later,why not now while he's on a hot streak?
Sheamus doesn't seem to be cutting it,so give Bryan a go,if it doesn't work out I'm sure super Cena will win it back before you can say 'jumpin john'

I do think he's got a chance, Cena being the Champ doesnt really bring much to the table these days, everything is just a rehash, heel monster appears, jumps him and the feud is on...its all rather obvious and predictable, I dont see what Cena remaining Champion will give to the product over the next 5/6 months

Also with him as Champion it means he has to get convincing wins over his opponents or else it'll be rematch after rematch, Daniel Bryan could really chamhe the landscape if he won the WWE Title, I also wonder if Orton is only MitB to lose his title match, we keep hearing that WWE don't want to risk him ad champ (not that I buy that mind you) so if they did want him as champ why WWE Champ and not WHC where that belt is a little less prestigious

Bryan is such an underdog type character being the WWE Champion could open the whole Division up to more challengers as he is always in danger of losing due to his size, its unlikely he would lose but being Champ could see the WWE test the water in putting Curtis Axel or Sandow or even Bray Wyatt as his opponents to give them main event experience, also they could use the history with Miz as his nXt mentor and maybe try testing the water with Miz again, or they could go with Barrett since he lead Bryan in Nexus...so many options if thwy choose to go with Bryan, I think when you compare that to what Cena will bring then for me its a no brainer...that being said I expect a 3 match series from these 2 so no matter the result at SummerSlam I think we'll get a decent feud out of ot

I'm hoping Orton doesn't cash in at summerslam and that Bryan beats Cena, even if Cena doesn't actually tap, just passes out or whatever.

The Mitb briefcase fits Orton's character perfectly, I don't think an immediate cash in would do anything for him. Was rather it was a slow burner that eventually got him the heel-turn I think he needs.

Anyone potentially big to debut who could be an instant heel by screwing orton after he cashes in?

Mason Ryan?

I dont think there will ever be a better time to pull the trigger on Bryan than now. I cant see him getting any more over than he is right now.

I agree, for me Bryan should get the win and the push that goes with it. For far too long the WWE haven't truly pushed someone who was hugely over at the time while Cena has been around.

CM Punk came closest but he still played second fiddle to Cena.

I'm sure every time somebody gets over and looks like he could challenge Cena as the top face the e just turns them heel or de-pushes them. I won't be surprised if they turn d bryan heel at summer slam.

Stupid really because he ridiculously over atm. I think scared that other wrestler become more popular than Cena tbh

That's the problem, Bryan is more popular than Cena in arenas, but Cena sells the most merch and is a good public face for the company so they choose to keep him on top.

If they truly gave Bryan the push I'm pretty sure he could out sell Cena for merch, just like Punk once did.
