CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Kane Needs to Be Contested in a Steel Cage

At Over the Limit, CM Punk retained his WWE Championship by pinning Daniel Bryan. Bryan fired back by defeating Punk this past week on Monday Night Raw, thus putting himself back in the title hunt.

Kane, at first, played a passive role in Punk and Bryan's feud.

Punk and Bryan would take turns setting the other up to he attacked by the Big Red Monster. Kane has now made himself an entirely separate third party to this feud by his postmatch attack on Raw.

Because of the nature of this three-way feud, in addition to the concept of the No Way Out pay-per-view, Punk should defend his title inside a steel cage against Bryan and Kane.

Bryan has clearly established himself as a viable contender for the championship.

Kane was introduced into the feud by Punk and Bryan, but he took it upon himself to insert himself into title contention. Thus, both Kane and Bryan have legitimate claims to WWE Championship contention.

Even inside the cage, Punk and Bryan are more than capable of wrestling a technically sound match. Submission holds are still fair game, allowing for them to continue to demonstrate who among them is the better submission wrestler.

With a steel cage surrounding the ring, Kane will have both Punk and Bryan trapped. While one of them has been able to elude Kane in recent weeks, neither Punk nor Bryan will have anywhere to run.

In addition, Kane's brute strength and size probably gives him the biggest advantage inside the unforgiving cage. That said, a steel cage match would make Kane an even greater threat to Punk's WWE Championship.

Finally, a triple threat cage match allows the main feud between Punk and Bryan to continue to play out.

It gives Bryan another shot at the title without giving him another singles match with Punk on the PPV stage. Also, the steel cage keeps AJ from interfering in the match, allowing the suspense surrounding her involvement to continue to build.

CM Punk is a fighting champion. While the odds would be against him, defending the WWE Championship in a triple threat is right up his alley. The steel cage would add an interesting dynamic to the already exciting combination of Kane, Punk, and Bryan.

I don't see how this wouldn't be match of the night.
