Re: How long do U think Mark Henry's 1st World title reign will be if he won? *Spoile
If WWE are smart they'll have Orton successfully RKO Henry at HIAC.....only for him to kick out and shock the world because to my knowledge Orton is yet to successfully hit the RKO on Henry, certainly in a proper match that is. Henry will then maul Orton and retain the belt with everyone wondering who can stop him after Orton's best move couldn't put him down. Maybe book a 4 way or something at Vengeance with Henry/Sheamus/Orton/Christian and have Henry either pin Orton after one of the other two does the work to keep Orton credible whilst moving him out of the title picture or have Sheamus/Christian eat the pin. From Survivor Series onwards I'd like to see Sheamus be given the program with Henry seeing as his momentum is terrific right now and they have a chance to capitalise on his overness. I'd have Henry just scrape through Sheamus maybe in a gimmick match like LMS or a Strap match where he doesn't have to pin Sheamus to retain the belt...or at Elimination Chamber and maybe have Sheamus last the entire match before ultimately losing to keep him strong, then book him in a big Mania program and try and put the belt on him sometime around Summerslam as a callback to the Rock 2000 quest to become champion.
Whilst Henry is destroying under card guys and local wrestlers on Smackdown and then wrestling the elite talent on PPV slowly build Daniel Bryan up by tapping out people at will, become more aggressive and violent and giving him crucial promo time either on Smackdown or on some of those WWE.com exclusives that have appeared recently where Bryan cuts the passionate promos that he delivers greatly. At Wrestlemania have a bloodied and battered Daniel Bryan tap out Mark Henry with the Labell Lock or some new submission and have him raise the belt high over the lifeless and beaten remains of Henry. Voila new and credible superstar in Bryan, prolonged program that will eventually culminate in Sheamus becoming WHC, Henry gets to look like a true champion who is impossible to beat and new guys get to be given the ball to run with.
If WWE aren't smart, Orton pins Henry clean as a whistle at HIAC and the likes of Sheamus and Bryan are left without a monster to feud with who can enhance their credibility.
