transemacabreSo much gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair over this storyline!
Theories:
A) AJ is sekritly in cahoots with DBry and will turn on Punky, giving the title to Bryan. He then takes her back. Kane will then bust through the ring floor and devour CM Punk, bones and all. The End.
My rebuttal: Throwing away whatever dubious character development the WWE's given AJ to turn her into DBry's flunky so he can preen and shout "YES YES YES" while holding the title would be such a pisser of an ending to this storyline, which is why WWE would probably do it. Also, what a bad message to send to little girls: do whatever your abusive boyfriend tells you to do, and he MIGHT throw you a crumb of affection! Sleep tight, kiddies!
B) AJ is still in love with DBry, and is using Punky to make him jealous. Meanwhile, Kane feasts on the souls of the innocent.
My rebuttal: Like option A, this option really doesn't need Kane in any way, shape, or form. Also, the only time Daniel Bryan and AJ had believable sexual tension was on the 6/1/12 backstage segment, AFTER they'd already broken up (they can generate angry I-hate-you-so-goddamn-much tension but nothing else).
C) Punky soundly defeats DBry and Kane, realizes he's in love with AJ too, and they ride off into the sunset together.
My rebuttal: Going steady with AJ doesn't fit with CM Punk's loner, rebellious character. He's also hung onto the title long enough at this point that fans are starting to wonder when he's gonna drop it to someone else. If this threeway feud with Kane and Daniel Bryan doesn't do it, who's gonna take the title from him? Freakin' Big Show? Give me a break.
D) Punky and DBry take each other out in an onslaught of flying limbs and chokeholds, and while both are unconscious Kane snags the title AND AJ.
WHOA OUT OF LEFT FIELD. But honestly, AJ's character arc is taking her to some dark places, and WWE loves to heelify its bright pretty young things as of late (cf Eve). Her taking off with Kane would be a shocker. This would be soundly hated by fans, who aren't gonna want to see teeny tiny AJ tagging along after Kane to the ring. On the other hand, can you *imagine* Punk and Bryan's reactions?!
