He came out of the match last night looking very strong, and if he has the title at Mania, that means he won the Chamber match. I'd say that makes him strong enough to elevate Sheamus, especially if it's a good match.
Really? It wasn't a particularly good match as no one expected it to be as you had two fairly limited guys and one of whom was clearly injured. Plus, he won in a flukey manner.
He took both giants off their feet a number of times, and looked like he was going to tap out Big Show if it wasn't for Henry breaking it up.
I don't think the win was a flukey at all. Big Show grabbing his wrist was a desperation effort. Bryan was able to get as close as he was by striking Show away from him. It's not as if both guys were knocked and and he just climbed out without challenge, or just walked out the door while the other two were fighting.
For a character that has managed to sneak his way to two title defences, he won pretty convincingly.
The spot of nearly tapping out Show was a strong spot but that was pretty much it. He didn't tap him out though, he didn't win by pin fall. He won essentially by outsmarting them using his advantages, his quickness, to win the match. I'd agree that in comparison to goading Henry to get Show DQ'ed or a no-contest because Show ran over AJ this was a strong victory. But like I said he didn't win by pinfall or submission.
