Bryan's WWE World Heavyweight Championship

[HafDawg2003]

If you were the booker...

Where / when would you have Bryan drop the title? Summerslam?

To who? Triple H? Batista? Orton? Lesnar?

The only way it makes sense is for him to drop it to Lesnar at SummerSlam. That's the only logical blowoff of Lesnar ending the streak. The only way I could see Triple H win the title is if he wanted to make a run at Flair's heavyweight champion record of 16. Batista will be gone once Guardians of the Galaxy premiers. Orton sucked as a face, but he hasn't done a whole heck of a lot as a heel either.

Batista signed a 2 year deal and is even working house shows, he's not going anywhere.

Losing it to Brock at Summerslam makes the most sense, I guess, and sets up whoever the hot face is at the time (whether is Reigns, Cesaro, or even Bryan in a rematch) to win it back at Mania. (And maybe, with the belt being off TV for a while, you can spend more time focusing on the US/IC titles.)
