And some people have accused that the reason because Batista (and maybe Orton too) got to high places is because they were friends with Triple H (atleast on some kind of level, as they were part of Evolution). So guys who might otherwise keep other talent down are willing to put their friends over. And even if they don't keep talent down, many people in general still rather do favors to friends than strangers. Not just in wrestling, but in life in general. But in wrestling doing so can be bad for the business and unprofessional.
This is just speculation, but there's a chance that could be the reason why Bryan won Cena in such a way, even if he himself isn't intentionally trying to use "family ties"/backstage politics as a way to advance on his career. But Bryan being the boyfriend of Cena's girlfriend's sister might've made Cena more willing to make the other guy (Bryan) look good.
Like I said, yet another Cena conspiracy theory
Yeah, the Bellas dating Cena and Bryan has been common knowledge for some time. I don't personally think it had anything to do with Bryan getting a push, but it probably didn't hurt either. If there was an ulterior motive for Bryan being pushed though, it would more likely be due to the fact that the Bellas are staring on that Divas show on E network, which was actually pulling in some good ratings. I honestly think though that Bryan was just getting such a strong reaction from crowds that WWE just HAD to push him. But they stopped just short of making him the face of the company, which I think is a shame because he has what it takes to take Cena's spot. Hell, even Jericho thinks so:
"I think anybody can be the face of the company if the fans dictate it. I think sometimes the powers-that-be may have different opinions but the thing about Daniel Bryan is that his rise is very organic. It happened basically in spite of the way he was getting pushed. I think if I had to pin point a moment that it happened, it was during that eighteen second loss at WrestleMania last year where people were legitimately angry that the company could treat him that way and started to really get behind him as a character. I think when everybody is chanting his name and the guy goes out there as possibly the best wrestler in the world and a great character and a great performer, why not? You need something different to replace the one that’s on top as we saw when they were trying to replace Hulk Hogan for so many years until Bret Hart stepped up. I think he can be the face of the company if they so desired."
http://allwrestling.com/news/55500/jeri ... g-content/Getting back to the Bellas/Bryan thing, I think Brie actually looks hotter than Nikki now since Nikka got that stupid boob job and starting dressing like Cena with that baseball cap on her head. Also, it's rumored that Punk is dating AJ Lee. If he is, he's got Cena/Bryan beat
The Bellas are hot, but I have a massive crush on AJ right now. She's the hottest thing on WWE television and the true face of the women's division as far as I'm concerned. I hope rumors of Karma's return are true. She's spoken about losing weight and re-inventing herself and seems open to a WWE return. Her and AJ could have a stellar feud, especially since WWE seems to have no intention of taking the belt off AJ anytime soon. Or maybe it's time they bring up that Paige girl I keep hearing about from NXT
