>>14316151They kind of fucked themselves by having Bryan vs. Orton for 3 PPV's in a row, seeing that he stayed over, and then trying to put him in some midcard match. The right way to handle phasing him out would be to have him be the one to beat Del Rio for the WHC and fight the unification match at TLC. Then keep him off of TV until the night after elimination chamber. Batista could have been dimes at this moment. I think a valet and some jobber thugs would help make him look like a big deal.
